Readying for the KW

[DMiller]

And yes Farmerlund As my Mother figured out early I am one obstinate determined sh!t!!

 

[kshansen]

All I can say is that kid better hope his dad hangs in there for many years. With an attitude like that he is going to be out of business very quick once he take over! And I hope any of the workers who saw that BS start looking for other places to work once the dad is gone!

 

[56wrench]

If he's real young, he may learn although it seems nowadays some don't and their entitlement attitude stays with them for life.

Boss is a year from retirement, IF his health hangs in there. His son is early thirties, a bit headstrong as shown and YES, have heard from a majority of the Old Hands that once Papa is gone the boy is On His Own.

I'm getting on in years. My son has some maturing to do. I hope to last as long as I need to last.

A good man sells me steel & aluminum. He's older than me. Like me, he's second generation in the family business. Like me he has a son to take over. His son is even more cocky than my son. We've kidded about "I'm sure glad I don't have your son."

His son has grown into a man I will be happy to do business with when the unthinkable happens. His son is a good friend of my son.

We shape, we mold, we hope. When it is over for us, the next generation is the product we produced. That product is how we will be judged.

I desperately hope my father was judged favorably for the son he produced.

I desperately hope I will be judged favorably for the sons I produced. I have expanded my product to sons of other people. I'm pretty damned proud of my work! All but one have brought back some wonderful daughters in law. The one hold out assures he will never bring a wife here. That too is OK.

The one hold out assures he will never bring a wife here

Smart-stay single-less headache and expense. And that goes both ways.

My dad always said: "You can judge how the children were raised when you see the grandchildren." I have found that to be pretty accurate. over the years.

 

[DMiller]

Today still nothing standing out, all external connections disconnected or removed
Need to make couple of 3/4 bolt lift eyes and have it out
Charity cycle ride tomorrow so if not tonight late tomorrow.

 

[DMiller]

Then a little more anger sets in and POOF it is on the floor.

 

[Labparamour]

Have a safe ride tomorrow!

 

[DMiller]

Have a safe ride tomorrow!

Thanks

 

[DMiller]

Still gonna need to pull the R side box and raise the chassis about two inches to clear gear box, low on priority currently.

 

[56wrench]

So, did i miss something or why are you pulling the trans?

 

[Truck Shop]

Taking a look-see. Checking to see how much oil is in the gear box air system. Might want to remove shift bar housing and bottom pto cover
and see how much metal are on the magnets plus check main shaft end play. jmtc.

 

[DMiller]

Main reason Cleaning
1/2” of accumulation across box

The Charity Ride organizing up so far!!

hour to go!

 

[DMiller]

A little less angry today
Someone or thing was looking out for me

clutch done as well rear seal was out

 

[DMiller]

 

[56wrench]

Ya i guess not knowing much about the service history and the overheat on the engine, the rest of the driveline needs to be checked too.

 

[Spud_Monkey]

As the saying goes, there is a reason for everything, just need to find the silver lining in it. That engine being toasted beyond repair was the silver lining in another problem that could of happened and cost more down the road as it destroyed more plus a tow bill. Might been same price as previous sentence as the new engine block, but it was done in comfort of your own home without the stress of dealing with it on the road in possible historic snow storm.

 

[DMiller]

Now I am growing angrier

Engine is on its back, pulled and gauged two mains, 4(thrust)&7
Does not register on Red
Crank coming out to Mic it
Will be written down when done all rods all mains.
