Lost power at my son’s house last night about midnight. Still no power.

Well that's no fun, you have a generator?

Enjoyed reading of veto of 1/2 billion$ in spending. If only it could've been more than 1% of the budget. And woodent that be intra state rather than inter state?

My bad! Hanibal at hwy61is one end of existing I -72 , so getting Federalies on board wood be needed to buy up all those acres of good crop land along there.

I am not sure it really needs changed to an interstate, it’s already 4 lanes from St Joseph - Hannibal The cost will be exponential & I can’t see a lot see a benefit. As you stated there will have to be a tremendous amount of ground bought up & I can’t see a lot of those folks willingly selling their land.

There is an ethanol plant in Macon that will have to be modified & a large MFA grain elevator outside Hamilton let alone all the small towns along 36 that will be gutted or destroyed.

The state of MO & the federalies would have to get together & agree on things as well.

BUT we are talking about gubermental spending & potential overreach so…

Trying to fix the wheel bearing on the mill here but the back race doesn't wanna come off... advice please....what am I doing wrong.

My c-clamp is not too tight, just snug enough to keep the puller jaws from slipping off.
I tried tapping on the head of the puller, and also was able to tap on the race from behind....but it's not moving at all.
Any way to cool the axle and heat the race?

The whole thing got way hot when I ruined it driving home, I thought maybe all that heat caused the problem.

I hate busted stuff....

Slit it almost all the way through at an angle like this with a cut off wheel and then split it with a cold chisel. You do it at an angle so you can get closer to the sholder.

I'd have the hose on standby.

Definitely... there's an abundance of kindling around an active sawmill.

Works dandy. Done it many times and sometimes I forget how easy to do. I usually do a straight cut since dad does it that way. Races are hardened and just a quick hit after cutting will crack it.
