That is exactly where I was thinking of when I saw that. He knew to keep the front wheels on the high side where the driest dirt was and it paid off.

A rollback is almost as hard to get stuck as a backhoe. Bed down and push, bed down and push, repeat after me.;) I have gotten out of some sandy, muddy and snowy conditions that way. Not fast and miserable work but it gets you out.

Just goes to show that persistence sometimes pays off. That was what, 10 gallons of fuel in that section? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-JDUzH2n-4

Well, you had a rollback, could have made some money back at the accident.

True, And I have put new clutches on beat up flywheels as long as they did not have heat spots and they worked just fine.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: I am going to look for the poll now.

That is blackmail! You know I will vote for it, I am on my way out the door at work, I will do it when I get on this evening.

You don't think that flywheel is in need of a turning? Looks a bit on the rough side.

CSM, Technically yes, IF it were the original from the factory starter and even then they were changing over at that time. I keep forgetting that 30 years ago is 1985! That is depressing, I am getting old. I have never heard an engine "Banging" due to a low battery, Solenoid chatter or not. If...

Just as an aside, Do NOT bang on the starter unless you plan on replacing it! That worked 30 years ago when the magnets were ferrous magnets but now they are ceramic rare earth magnets and will break very easily if you hammer on them.

Sounds like a broken crankshaft. They are famous for breaking behind Number 2 rod journal.

Sorry Pete, Scrounger was at our site as I was breaking down and he said he would help me out , he had to drag his stuff out for someone else also. It is a nightmare maneuvering that beast around in there with people and carts and junk so I took the easiest route.

Mike, there is a guy directly across from where you set up with mermites. These have gaskets but are a bit rough. I lost your phone. number. If you need to get hold of me Cabell has my. cell number

In years past there would be two or three threads going with many posts. I am mainly going this year just to sell off what I have and socialize.

Not a FREAKIN' clue!rofl Thanks for your service Carnac. To our country, and to us here on the forum.

I have an appointment with the union people, I may get out sooner than expected. That would be nice. Chuck ain't old enough to retire! What's he gonna do, move to the hills and produce shine? Heyyyyyyyyyy, Chuck, we gotta' talk.:twisted:

Good point, My math was off anyway since I have to give 6 months for our lovely state to process the paperwork and it is already the end of April we are looking at 11/1. hat is good in a way since it means I will only have 6 months before I can tap social security.

And when did I ever chase you and your cigars away? Believe me, there is no better entertainment in the world than watching you cook breakfast on a defective butane stove. Explains why you have no hair.rofl

May be a little tougher this year. They have transferred me again and this time they are going out of their way to make my job a living ****. They want me to quit but I am going to retire which means I have to stay at least six months for the paperwork to go through. My biggest problem is that I...
