Tires

[Lohman446]

Just got my dodge back from the tire shoppe today, a inner tie rod end has a hair line crack running through it. Not good. Also the outer's and both upper and lower ball joints are shot. yeah I know I'm out only five hundred bucks and should just get rid of the little red devil but hey orginal trany and engine (Must have gotten the good one.) Plus all the abuse my flower girls and me put it through it lasted won't mind owning another. time to get searching.

Also got my Ford back today with the new meats went with a special order Shumaker K-72 tire from the locals was only 1.3K not bad for 6 and decided to run it into the ground (I.E. full engine or Trany replacement.) and just expanding my fleet.

Old fire bucket trucks can be had cheap and when painted in your color scheme really stand out

Getting these of the ford today oh what a story. had to pull out the sledge to get the front ones of then went to take apart the dualy's, the retard that painted them before at the auto shop painted them together. but the suprise that layed behind the rear driver side. after fianlly getting the rim apart the drum just feel to pieces. talk about a pain in the

they may have they may not have. Sticking Dualy rears are a common problem even on new wheels. One trick people use is to loosen all the lug nuts and return them to not quite back in and drive around the parking lot. Letting the truck and the wheels unstick themselves. But it is a fairly common thing for them to stick together.


Not that the rusted off one is common though...sounds nasty!

Not huge - but you can get a 60 foot fire ladder / bucket truck cheap compared to a bucket truck. Don't go for the huge huge ones, but there are some available. I know one tree company that uses them, really likes them.

something like that I could use.

Well all the tires are working great so far ended up firing that guy when I got the invoice for the 450 2,350 bucks, anybody need a job?

I seriously need to control spending money, went to a silent auction today. Picked up a digging bucket for my New Holland, Partner Saw, A crap load of Mason Tools, A whole Craftsman Tool box loaded with tools, 300 gallon water tankwith a honda 6.5hp. Geez no wonder why that biz loan isn't payed off.
