**2012 Florida Richloam MV Summer Rally**

[RAYZER]

Alright Ray!!!! Are you bringing the Taj Mahal and deuce tractor? Oddball and I need a place to crash! If the tractor isn't finsihed, maybe Oddball or I can pull it over with a M818.

I do think that I'll have the tractor finished in time to pull the trailer!!
As far as house guests go,I'll have to ask the better half... I have a tent y'all can use!

Vinnie, you getting shirts done for this one? Sorry, another question. Who's 5 ton pulled you out last time? Got the front brakes done, gonna start on the rears tomorrow night.Then the air pack and new MC.

 

[pctrans]

He was pulled out by "CessnaTwin"s truck, piloted by a VERY experienced operator

 

[rbeasley66]

Wonder who that was ?!? ^^^

 

[caliber1]

I knew who was piloting said truck, just didn't remember who's it was.

 

[pctrans]

I am more than happy to scratch up someone else's truck on the goat paths that Tim takes us on!

Tent camping in June ain't for me. If Brenda does say ok, I have to remember my ear plugs. I can bring some extra for her, the chain saw gets loud when you tune up Ray!

 

[vinny-socom1]

No shirts this time, to much on my plate with work, Jess's truck repairs,kids getting out of school, bills, etc.

I am bringing a tiny generator and a big fan!

 

[Ruppster]

A couple of days ago I was working on the engine of the vehicle I plan on bringing out to the get together and found out that what I thought was a bunch of noise from valves that badly needed adjustment was actually a couple of messed up camshafts along with 2 damaged rocker arms. I now have close to $1,000 in parts on order and if all goes well I hope to have it back up and running in time for the event.

 

[pctrans]

Bringing my A/C unit!

Ruppster, sounds like Murphy has been busy around your place. Good luck with the repair.

Oh yeah!

Gonna air condition my trailer this weekend and get it ready. Will load the grill next week Vinny. prolly drop the trailer Friday AM some time and come back out that evening with Lyn. Gonna take a shot at that air pack Saturday. All down hill from there.

Yeah, that's why I'm not going to pre-pay for the get together as I don't want to jinx myself. Anyhow, I've attached a picture of the lobe on one of the cams.

Did get the 2 replacement cams I needed today but can't put the engine back together till I get the rocker arms. So while I'm waiting for the rest of the parts I'm going to take the rear suspension apart to clean out all the mud and re-grease the bearings in the suspension. Got all new wheel bearings coming but I hope the rest of the bearings in the suspension will be re-usable.
