Thanks for the heads up Nick. Good to see you here.
I agree,it is good to see nick back...that darn sled been keeping him occupied too much lately lol

Currently I have the arrowcraft set up. AA4 front hub adapter. It uses 5/8 lug nuts. I ended up ordering lugs.
I saw those hubs and wanted to get them for my parts pile but I would need to order another set of lugs for them. Give a shout sometime.

It has been a while. Hopefully I'll be around more. Life has been crazy. Between the kids the sled and the farm I've been swamped

Yeah, I'm still over here. Havent decided yet on RRE. I really hate to rhink about not going. This would be our 4th year in a row. Already have time scheduled off work amd all. The last 2 years we went to RRE in July and the Fall festival in Townsend in September. Both were a great time.

I hate to back out on committments, if y'all remember... Ryan kinda committed us OBS guys to some stuff for RRE this year.
I guess this is going to require a little more tkought.
We are up for camping any time we can get away. You guys keep me posted about any group trips

Congratulations Phil! It doesn't take a lot to keep you really good and busy (ask me how I know...)! The farming life is where it's at!

I may not be working on Clifford right now. Build one of the IC spiders. Sadly this will likely be the last. I used up the last of the materials and I'm not buying more. On to repair a turbo kit for another member. After that then maybe one last set of up pipes and that will be the last set of those.
Somewhere after all that maybe $ will let me get parts for my project.

I did this one a little different and added a tab between the two parts for added strength. Should do somebody well.

Any thoughts on these seas?

And is the hub supposed to packed full of grease?

The one in my hand is SKF. The other is called triseal and looks much better.
