So what did you do today?

[exSW]

Yes, used to haul grain and cattle mostly, licensed and inspected each year. He is selling it to buy a gooseneck dump trailer. He has had a bunch of low mileage vehicles, I sold a Chevy C-20 Camper special with 47K and his '69 'Bette he bought new has less than 50K on it.

Reason I ask is those old SV binders (small V-8) should never be started dry after sitting for an extended period of time. Need to pull the distributor and put a drive on the oil pump to pre oil it. How deep in VA is it?

Washed my mother's car.

It is in Farmville, 60 miles southwest of Richmond or 45 miles east of Lynchburg. The rear gates and grain chute come with it.

Been working on the garden most of the day. First year for it. Got some stuff planted and spent a while digging tree roots out. Hopefully finish planting it tomorrow.

Strange.... these bolts looked like the threads pulled. Also rounded the carriage on the rim... it may need a new rim come trade in time.

Note to self check rim bolts on used 6xxx series.

I would not say just on a 6 series.... I think anything with a dish really.

I know with rack and pinion you are supposed to re torque everything once you drive it for 20-40 tire revolutions.

They do become loose overtime it happens but still would seem tight until a torque wrench came out

It's getting harder and harder to find later model.stuff with bar axles.

 

[CR500]

You can order one with them.... Drove a new 6R off a trailer with a set last month.

But yeah the dish seems popular.... I prefer rack and pinion, easier to set desired width

Did this this morning:

 

[exSW]

So what did you do after breakfast?

 

[merc_man]

Rented a stump grinder and got 9 stumps out of 10 done. Last one out of town so get it done tomorrow. I broke three cutter at 20 bucks each. Should make enough to just brake even so all good. I only had three of my own. Now just sitting on deck relaxing.

 

[exSW]

Cut some grass. Serviced the sickle bar mower and opened up some hayfields so the custom guy doesn't "find" anything.

 

[merc_man]

Oh ya and went to the mud fest
