Did that bat guana for 5 years, had headaches like that on a regular basis.
I get enough of it at work to fill my need for greasy fingers and clothes. Brakes went out on 4300 IH we had same issues. Fought everything taking it apart, 3 of us took turns walking around in circles with breaker bar and 3 ft cheater pipe taking rotors off the hubs. Had to run 60 miles in 2 directions for parts, 2 trips one way, get it all but back together, and then the brake line broke. Another 60 mile trip.
Boss decided we should put lift kit on his Dodge pickup, "it's only supposed to take 4 hours". That's all it took to put the back half on, front end took a day! Everything was over torqued from factory 90,000 miles earlier.
Brake job on 1 of the one tons here turned into 4 days of putting brakes on, 200 mile trip for Dodge parts, after 5 trips to town. But everything in the fleet had new brakes all the way around, rotors, drums, and pads, front and rear when we were done. Dodge had new bearing assemblies in both front hubs. Over $2500 in parts, 4 days labor for the mechanic I was assisting. A ton of cussing!! Mechanic totally missed the clunk putting things back together that indicated bearing was out in the hub. I caught that while he was assembling it. I was like, whoa... Stop... Wait a minute! This is not good!! Of course we already had the other side together, had to pull it back apart. Sealed bearing assemblies, if ones out to the extent that one was, you simply do both. POS would have been sitting side the interstate with bees in somewhere between here and Boynton Beach soon thereafter had I not caught it.
It has anchors for the 4 corners, (definitely going in... have seen more than one or two garden sheds rolling around town after 25 years in ND), but I was also contemplating some steel stakes with washers welded on top, to drive in the feet of the center posts. We don't get a lot of wind down here, and it's tucked back in a pretty secluded spot, so I have my fingers crossed.
Hadn't thought about wrapping it in other materials, could use the clear panels made for greenhouses. Few u-bolts and a little firring that could work pretty easily.
I lost my boy back in May. He was 13 years old. I still miss him every day.Couldn’t be any better the wife and I along with our youngest went for a boat ride.
I hate selling stuff - getting sick of dealing with crazy people, ignorant people, or flaky people responding to my sale ads for my table saw. Also dealt with some mild food poisoning yesterday and am now dealing with a nasty cold.
But, on the plus side, got a phone call from the body shop this morning that our van was done, so we ran over and picked it up. Shoot, they even repaired a dent they didn't have to - and that I was honest with the insurance adjuster in stating was pre-existing from someone's door hitting our van and putting a dent in the front driver's side fender (which the front fender was untouched by the deer). Pulled up to the body shop and our van was parked along the road. Our 6 year old exclaimed, "Ooooh, it looks like a brand new van!" Well, they did do a good job of the repairs and it was ready to be picked up on the exact day they estimated it would be ready.
