It is here also, but if you think I am going to turn my back to the crazy drivers, forget it. If a cop has a problem, I'll ask when he is going to assure me that the speed limit will be enforced at all times. The seven, yes seven, utility poles nearest my house has been struck plus my mailbox twice. The house next door had a car strike the second floor after it launched over a large hedge. My road frontage is in the middle of a half mile long straightaway, so I guess the cause is failure to negotiate a straightaway. But I guess that things aren't too bad, there hasn't been a serious accident here for 17 hours and that beautiful spring house near the road has only been flattened five times with the latest being two days ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,118 #21281 Posted May 2 I'm sure all of the local motorcyclists appreciate all the crap blown into the road. Hope you got good lawyers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,177 #21282 Posted May 2 My road is always covered with hazards. Road killed rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, deer, and streches of greasy roadapples. (miss ya Jay) Most of our local motorcyclists are aware and ride with care and avoid the hazards. The live animals darting across the road pose a bigger problem for the riders to avoid. Unfortunately we recently had two fatals and one nearly lost a leg accidents due to high speed riders that were not able to avoid hazards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse 3D 3,795 #21284 Posted May 2 Been a long time comin' but Doug is finally gettin the upgrades that the parts have been lying in the shop for 2 years! So we start out up on stands for the before and work our way through today's progress! Thought I was gonna have to lift everything, but the spacer spaced the tire out far enough to leave just enough clearance! Need lo get longer carriage bolts for the weights. Also pulled both front tires and cleaned spindles ready to weld in the 1" spindle upgrades! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have ridden motorcycles for the past 61 years, if someone cannot ride thru or around some grass on a level straight road, they need to park it. With the retards on open pipe V-twins making an effort to annoy me while cutting my grass, they will get zero respect from me. Yes, that too has happened. If one wants to turn their back to the traffic, be my guest, Charles Darwin is waiting. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse 3D 3,795 #21290 Posted May 5 (edited) The Dig Dug saga continues! Managed to get the spindles and hubs on Friday evening. Today was some grease packing and tire squishing to get the beads to seal.(short lifting strap and a big lady slipper to twist with). Results are better than expected! Even the steering is much improved. I may not put weights back on, as they only improve traction and do nothing for balance at the rear axle. Then again, I'll have to see how a heavy load does. And I do like my big WH logos in the weights. First mission.. 6 bags of potting soil! Edited May 5 by Wheel Horse 3D 5 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy N. 2,154 #21291 Posted May 6 Picked up this tiller today (just after I finished planting my garden). It's in much better shape than mine (tines and sheet metal). Young couple moved into an old farm a few years ago and found it in the barn. When I asked about the mid mount idler I got that deer in the headlights look. We looked around for a few minutes and found it under some other stuff along with the mower deck chute. Told them that I have the deck that it fits on and they told me to take it. Unfortunately there wasn't any other WH stuff in sight. Makes you wonder sometimes how things end up where they end up. 1 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHGuy413 2,683 #21292 Posted May 6 Took @WheelHorse_Kid’s c-121 out in the dark last night and dragged the 14-8 up to the garage. Started working on it and determined the starter was junk. Swapped it out, cleaned the points, cleaned the giant mouse nest out of on top of the flywheel, removed the junk muffler to get to the points, cleaned the carb. Starter solenoid is junk so I bypassed it and went straight to the starter and ran a jumper wire to the coil. Took a little cranking and fiddling with the choke but got it to run for a few minutes. Need to dial it in. Shoots flames from the exhaust pipe. But at least it runs and didn’t sound to bad. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #21298 Posted May 6 Took the 1075 out of the garage today for the first time in a while. It fired right up. This is the closet thing I have to a hot rod. Big block, short frame, stack exhaust, baby moons, custom decals, nice petina. What's not to like about it ? 5 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,004 #21300 Posted May 7 I agree. The dies for the wheels on that trucks were one of my engineering projects before I retired. We drove up to our summer quarters in Michigan yesterday. Got Morgan the 14-8 out to do some cart work cleaning the winter debris out of the yard today. He was still wearing his snow blade, so I took the opportunity to push some gravel back into the street that was deposited on the lawn by the road plow last winter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
