I had the pressure washer out the past 2 hours. I am going in and changing my clothing for some painting. I have clothing I wear for painting that don’t matter while I am wearing them. I hope everyone has a pair of clothing like that. Good Luck and Have Fun.

Some things are best left to professionals. I have more on my plate than 2 people should have. I have several tool boxes full of tools and one of them is my wallet. I use what ever tool does the job correctly and others I hire out. $ is often wisely spent and eliminates ? In many cases. There...

I spent the last 3 hours pressure washing until I am soaked and the M1009 is about as clean as I can get it with a pressure washer. I have seen better M1009”s but this one is a lot better then most I seen . I will apply some Rus fre coating on the underside or some water based coating. More than...

I had a 200amp service put in about 3 years ago during the COVID crisis. I have a welder and all LED lighting now in the old barn.

I think this will get the job done. I wanted an electric one for a long time.

Oh yea I see the light switch nut and the horn inner contact ring. Still not fooled because you laid it out on OD green canvas. Born at night but not last night. And did you say 5 gallon fuel tank on the Honda. Not seeing that.

But looking back that washer is over 25 years old. So in all fairness I will get it fixed or V replaced. It is a Beco and they build them 35 miles from my home. So I will take a trip after work sometime and check into it.

That’s a dimmer switch, headlamp switch, and the knob and switch handle for BBC a 1984 CUCV. You can’t fool me.

I violated one of my own major rules. Never let anyone use your equipment. NEVER. I went to use the pressure washer after waiting for a week to get it back. It was dropped off when I was mowing and today I went to use it and you know. It is not a cheapo store bought model. I guess that is why...

Time to run the pressure washer. One of them love hate jobs. Prepare to get wet and the shower and change clothing. So plan and do it right the first time. You will get wet. Wear work clothes and safety glasses. Prepare to get soaked. Try not to but you know.

I was out working on the Wild Weasel yesterday. I removed the fuel tank and that in itself was an adventure. The Army had it out at one time and replaced the sending unit. One of the strap bolts was snapped off and the bolt was replaced with a 3/8" bolt, The hoses were way long, and the filler...

The Wild Weasel is in hibernation in sunny Pennsylvania.

The old yoke was wound with grass and needed a new seal anyway. Taking the axle out makes it easier to do and install the new leaf springs. Have a Great Week and Be Safe.

I removed the rear axle and the yoke flange. It was easy. The hardest part was getting the old rubber bushings from the shackles. I done it with my bell joint press and a cone socket. Used to burn them out and hate the mess and smell. Second hardest was the brake line to the frame connection...

Removing the rear axle assembly.

Said CUCVRUS to the little cat.Do you see what I see? A wire a wire attached incorrect with the end dug into the floor , with the end dug into the floor. Way up above the fuel tank little cat. The wire the wire dug into the floor with a job that gets out of sight to fix.

After giving it, some thought I think I am just going to remove the rear axle and do all the work out from under the vehicle. I will just cut the hydraulic brake line and remove the E brake cables and backing plates. It seems a lot more comfortable and safer than working completely under there...

I removed the axle u bolts and leaf springs from the rear axle. I used the brass brush on the drill and cleaned and lubed the threads Good news was the gears were good in the rear. I pulled the axles and called it a day. I will post more progress as it happens. I started work at 0500...
