The John Deere was on it's side down a hillside (and I think the driver had a problem in his paints...) when I showed up. Distroyed a rear hub and a front hub. After getting it back up the hill, I was installing new studs with my 1" impact and stripped a few. Got the job done and the tractor back working though! Not too sure about the young kid that was driving it. Never saw him on that ranch again..........

Yeah, I wish! I've got all of our emergency plan instruments due this month, plus the instruments from normal ops. And, to top it off, QA is coming over tomorrow, to audit me during some of my calibrations. I hate these guys. They will find something wrong no matter what, even if they have to make stuff up!

I had a skid steer loading clay in my dump truck one time. He thought he was "super operator", and was hauling the mail, flicking the bucket, and down right showing off.
I told the other drivers to watch. wasn't long till hhe was " bucket in my bed", and the tracks were 90* with the ground.
He was on the glass door making glass face angles.
I left him like that for a while, then walked the excavator over, and pushed him back down
The door flew open and out he came. There was chit all over him and the machine.
He got in his truck and left.
No one loaded trucks with that machine for almost a month!

Just did this job on a 66 F100 front end, I used a press to get the hub out of the drum, and then pressed out the suds, big old hammer works good also on the studs. Once the new studs are in and the new drum should just set in place and bolt on the wheel. Or as said above drill of file the stud holes out so you can remove the drum next time with out a press.

Good evening gang. Wow it's hot. The car thermometer said its 100 degrees. For sure it's in the mid to upper 90's.
