    How to get rid of play in steering

    I have not done my 37 yet and it is not too bad but I did do my 47 Ford. If I remember I jacked up the whole axle and checked cock to cock any binding when adjusting the sector shaft. I could also check anything else for to much play in the steering system.

    Using a pallet jack to install/remove super singles

    Tire walking is not that hard. I had to walk one of these off and yea it is a little bigger than a 1600. Anyone that knows me or seen me I am not a big man and getting old. Think I was about 60 when I had to repair one of the knuckles on the Hanson seven years ago.

    anyone interested in a Florida 2021 rally?

    Well if we pooled our money and bought maybe 1000 acres of land then it would be ours. Now we start the church of the " Latter Day OD Iron" we can be nonprofit and beer is the choice for communion. That or we can all dress up as Pirates and become Pastafarians.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Just in case I bring the trailer to Denton next month bleach and wash. They say moss does not grow on a rolling stone but they forgot to add it does not grow on a moving trailer. Well it looks good enough for me to show it. Guess I better wash the 915 too.

    Guess it does make things easer but how will it fair when off road. Seen someone put one on a Deuce and with the bottom two drains on the Deuce and going off road a good size stick or a rock could knock it off. Looks like at least on your truck the drain plugs are on the side of the pan and a...
