Tom and Lisa those are both pretty funny. I have seen that video before but don't remember the story behind it.
Hello Moose. Long time no see. Are you all moved now?
And hello to you too Sheldon.

morning all!!
Which Mark were you referring to, Tom?
no rain this weekend...it skipped over Tempe...I could smell it in the air yesterday morning.
wasnt much of a punch Lisa...caught off guard like that, should have knocked her down!
could you operate the tractor with wood instead of coal?

On the 2nd note, I'm not sure. A lot of the early locomotives were wood-tendered, but a coal fire gets much hotter than a wood one. This one seemed designed for coal, but it'd be fun to try!
i have had it for 2 years tomorrow. it has had a minor vibration since i bought it, but i just put off doing the u-joints.
the past week the minor vibration turned into a major vibration, with squeaks. so i knew it was time to do them before i dropped a shaft.
it needs front axle seals also. they will get done in the winter when work gets slow.

ya know, that is the same exact thing the ford dealer parts manager said. but he also added that you should weld the caps to the yoke to prevent them from falling out.

it is more of a whole truck vibe.
it is one of those things that once you feel it, you will know what it is whenever you encounter it again.
almost like a tire out of balance.

a bad u-joint vibration is kind of hard to explain. it is not localized in the steering or floorboard area.

Speaking of vibrations, one of our customers came in with his Pete, the last driver on it, I don't know how he did it, but he screwed the tranny, twisted the driveline, and busted a couple u-joints. So we fixed all that, and replaced his harmonic dampener just for good measure.
