Yes, it's lowered.......
Harley drilled out the axle and had it powder coated. We don't like the powder coat at all, so it will come apart this winter and go to our chromer for full plating. Now with the new lathe, I can finish the disk brake conversion spindles for the front axel too!

Gramps got much more talkative about it as he knew he was dying, from what I knew, he rarely even mentioned he was in the Army after he came home.
We found pictures years later.
Some of the strangest were of him standing around un-armed except for a clip-board, with lots of German POWs smiling in the background......some kind of work detail for POWs..........I guess that's why he knew so much German.

I know the feeling on powder coat. one little rock chip, and it's rust bubble time
Plus, there's nothing like the look of chrome!

Have a good one Don.
I've got to get going too. Got tangled up reading some of Mark K's stuff on transmissions. Now I'm late. Oh well, it's my schedule so I can rearrange it as it see fit!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.
Morning Don.
Another beautiful day in Western Oregon. A few clouds at the moment, should burn off and be about 80°-85°
It's prety quiet around the office today... lots of new schedules and several people on vacation.
