I miss having kittens around. They are so much fun. Play play play play..then nap...and then play play play play!

They are adorable.

haha Not yet but soon!

Sampson is actually the more aggressive but yes he does like to fall asleep while on my lap or chest. Sassy is a quick hello and gone again.

Also did you get anything at Ritchie Bros? We don't have a Ritchie Bros. in this area. Our major auction house is Petrowsky Auctioneers.
Western star tandem axle. It failed! Lots of small dumb things, and i have to replace some lower bushings on the chalmers suspension. Not the end of the world, but I was kinda hoping i wouldnt have to do a bunch more work.

I ended up not going to ritchie brothers either. I watched a little online when i got home though, as usual, stuff was going cheap!

Hope everyone is having a good evening!

What'd you fail on?

Air leaks? Extinguisher? Safety triangles?

YES!!!!!!!

Pete you got a few of them, I didnt realize a person had to have an extinguisher or triangles to pass a safety! I thought it was just a mechanical safety haha. I also have illegal head lights, a mysterious wire problem that I didnt have this morning when I left the yard, have to replace a board in the box, my mud flaps were apparantly too short, and I think thats about it, besides the bushings on the suspension.
Oh winshield washer mysteriously quit working, same with a auxillary fan in the cab.

Im really not sure how to tell what model of suspension I have Ray, I am very inexperienced when it comes to chalmers suspension. Any clues or hints I could check out?

Have you replaced those bushings before?
