(" all thecrazy's really started chiming in").......heeeyyyyy....I resemble that remark..!!!haha
You Too?
HAHAHA, hope the paw gets better soon. Next thing you know, Kates greenhouse will be a vaporous wonderland..
Ed, after your invite I felt obligated to check out the build you had going, and I gotta say after 57 pages that you don't want me and my fists of ham anywhere near that museum piece you've created. That wasn't an easy read for me, what with ongoing feelings of my own inadequacy constantly in conflict with my curiosity and desire to see yet another example of how someone who knows what they're doing makes a beautiful build happen.
Amazing. In a garage and a driveway, no less. You're a truly gifted man.
I cannot wait to see that Scout finally on the road.
I can't believe that Greg and JJ are trying to recruit Chris as another member of the crazy's car club (double C was already taken so now triple C?).
Very kind words Chris, too bad not all of them are accurate. I too was hoping to have this gal running by the end of the year, but that's not going to happen being a gimpy. That doesn't mean I'm not trying....
Well I made it six days (post surgery), and after three novels, lots of research, lots more spending on small parts that will sit in their boxes, I was driving Kate nuts so I continued with a few small projects. All in the name of progress and all with more-or-less one hand!
I had previously cleaned and polished one vacuum wiper motor so I tried to do the same with the other motor.
I spent three hours taking apart, cleaning the guts, re-lubricating, and reassembling one of the motors. Most of that time was in reassembly! Turns out there is a specific order that parts have to come together with regards to the external linkage. Then about 45 minutes total on the second motor.
Many thx to Jeff Jamison for suggesting petroleum jelly as a light lubricant. Seems to have done the trick based on testing using my semi-worthless MightyVac!
And finally after too many years, I installed the wiper motors on Barb. The vacuum tubing "appears" to be sound, but I'll have to wait until 2022 for engine startup to know for sure!
Last bit of news was that I filled the red boat anchor with five quarts of dino fluid. Fingers crossed but no leaks yet. Which is a big-a$$ed IH oxymoron!
Plz stay away from as many people as you can cuz we're infecting and burying too many good folks.
. And don't under estimate your work; you started much later with more problems then I had!
