Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning everyone. Got the center section changed last night. Had no idea when going to a spool while still having tapered bearings and factory adjuster, you need a thrust spacer. We scoured the interwebs and couldn't find a length. My buddy with the lift had a set of green bearings, so we converted it. The whole process took way longer than expected, but it is done. While on lift, I found the trans is leaking really bad again. So, there will be another lift day shortly to pull the trans. Assuming front seal. Anyway, drive to Houghton, MI shortly to move my boy home from college. His freshmen year is complete. So proud of him. Take care, I hope all is well out there.
 
Anybody ever purchase leaf springs from Eaton? So far I am liking the customer service. Decided not to go with Cal Tracs as the Demon is not for track. But man it has got jump! I have been starting in 2nd most all the time. She purrs in 6th! My steering is still a bit herky jerky, I may need to smooth it out a bit. Almost like I have a bind at one point. I may never need to replace brake pads as she down shifts like a motorcycle!


Probably just too excited and getting stuck in the steering wheel!! Think about baseball...think about.....

U-joints on steering shaft?
 
Shop is pretty smelly today, heat was on and truck on hoist, lots of evaporation. Stoicheometric ratio isnt right as roof stayed on shop when i flipped the lights on.
 
U-joints on steering shaft?
Yep two of them. That’s where I think my bind is. Didn’t bind on rack while I was setting it up but feels like a bit of bind now that it is on ground and driving. Just have not focused on it yet while I am chasing down misc other rattles and rubs! The car is just an absolute blast to drive. You can figure it is like a modern SRT with a six speed that shed approx 1200 pounds. The new challengers are heavy. I have not put Demon on my race scales yet but it is pretty slim, no back seat etc etc.
 
Morning all. Got a little bit of my siding up before the lightning chased me of the aluminum extension ladder. Metal siding btw.
 
It's Salty Saturday!

Stop by on your way through...

I'm only 22 miles inside IL from the IN border... (12 miles on the highway, 10 off of it...)

I'll treat you guys to some ice cream cones...

My shop day was spent mostly on my mower, been gaining a vibration on one side. Thought I was going to have to replace a spindle or two, ends up the mounting was loose on one and they all needed grease. Lastly the blades are were so hammered two were pretty well out of balance. A hand file wasn't cutting it so broke out the grinder and sharpened all 3 blades, pressure washed underside of deck. 5 hours man I'm slow!!! There was a two jaw puller involved tho....and a torch HA!
So...got hammered, off balance, not too sharp...spent 5 hours under the deck. :thumbsup:
Spray some slip plate on the underside of the deck and you will never get buildup.
Keep the deck slippery and avoid build-up. :thumbsup:
Don't put flakes in or when you drop a tiny screw or part they look like the flakes on the floor
No flakes in Tike's garage.
Later you gold member men
Not me...
I’ve not even seen mine in a month.
Check the wife's purse.


Good Morning
