Hello all! Somehow I missed the notification email that the site sends, or it went to the spam file which it seems to do regularly now.

Good Morning,
Had to run the furnace first time. Weather looks good for the next couple of days. Gonna spend some time under the truck with a grinder and wire wheel cleaning up some rust spots, paint and then Fluid Film. Have a great day.


Take Care,
Jim

Rain cleared up in time for my party yesterday afternoon. Everyone had a good time. Today I've gotta grease the front end of the truck and check the oil in the rear diff. The rear end has been making some odd sounds lately, especially when towing. I'm afraid the new trailer might break be the straw that breaks the camels back so I'm trying to be pro-active.

Is it time for Top loading Rockwells with pinion mounted disc brakes?

Haha sadly no, got the tractor almost back together and put some furniture away. I really miss my shed all my tools were handy when I worked on the truck and projects. Hopefully Julia and I will rent/buy a home with a garage but, unfortunately other things must come first. Time and Money never have enough of either...

No, but perhaps time for a TrueTrac.

We can weld the noisy parts so they aren't noisy anymore, a positive side effect will be good traction too.

This isn't a hill climb truck so I think I will pass. Plus you guys don't have time to work on your own play vehicles let alone mine.

Shop just called and they will also be replacing ball joints and power steering pulley. I probably bent the pulley myself replacing the pump a while back. The ball joints annoy me though cause I installed those brand new from XRF barely 15k ago. Won't be getting that brand again.
