"I'll show this guy!"

Sorta like the bearings at the rock farm. You get a habit of greasing the plant every Monday for instance and stay on schedule.
That roller has a 2 1/2" shaft so it gets 10 pumps, that one gets 5 pumps and so on. Many of them have hoses or guards between the greasing point and bearing and you can't see when you blew the seals out by over greasing and then you have to grease the crap out of them

I myself used grade 5 bolts there. I had to modify mine to get booster to fit. There are LOTS of pressure on those bolts.....
Wow.
Yes. I went with Grade 5 as well. Figured with the added booster it would need it
Think I should just do all 4?
Thank God for engine brakes!! I discovered an issue on a steep mountain two land road. From Flagstaff to Sedona.
I would use bolts.......
Meaning no weld?
I used bolts, I just tack welded them so I wouldn't need a wrench on both sides to tighten
This is a critical connection. Safety connection. Nothing beats a good bolted connection.....IMO.
Your arm isn't that long?
O OK. I thought it was just threaded rod.....
Not today
He’s been trying to come to a stop all this time.I thought you were resting?
That’s the good purple brake grease!
I had to do some work on that area to get booster to fit. I used stock 273 valve covers and they would not clear the valve gear. So I used 3/8 inch spacers. Then no room. Had to raise the entire assembly 1/4 inch. Made a difference...Thanks for double checking me
Appreciated
Some more progress.just so it doesent look so crusty. Owner did the scrubbing, hes not real particular.
Howdy
