good morning MN. A little cooler your way? We finally got some rain last night and still some this morning. Really took the leaves off the ash trees around here.

We had a good day Troy except for Chris. Something is failing in the rear differential. So Lynn rode wiry her sister and Chris rode and drove in ours. So still had fun.

At least he has a nice seat cover on the yamaha

bummer something is wrong with it. the front left wheel on mine is making a pretty good snapping noise. I can see the tire kind of shake when it catches and releases. Not sure if maybe a wheel bearing? Investigation is needed.

Can barely see the grass in my yard for all the leaves.

Yours is maybe a wheel bearing but more likely the axle joint is going bad.

Chris and I bent up some conduit to make a framework on the utility trailer. I will then strap a tarp over that.

it has cv joints on it. I jacked it up and had a bunch of in out with the tire when rocking it holding it at the 6 and 12 oclock positions. I pulled the knuckle off it and the axle nut was only finger tight with the cotter pin in. The boots look good on it and felt free when moving the joints around. I torqued the nut to what it should be, still have a little play but much less but that looks like a little ball joint movement now. The wheel bearings felt good. I'll try it again sometime. Could be the cv joint. that is what I was thinking at first but not sure how to check one to know if it is good or not.
