Yahoo! them are some good looking hats on some good looking folks Thanks for showing us! Well, he is lucky to have her. I'm not so sure about the reverse. 😎👍 Handsome couple and nice looking hats! HAZZAH all around! You are correct Very Lucky. I met her 37 Years ago July 5th at Pizza Hut. She was a Waitress and she told her friend who's table I set at that she was switching her tables. I sat there from 5pm till 2am. The next day her birthday I spent all day with her and watched 3 movies. The rest is history. She wasa Manager at Wal~Mart and was very Involved in the community, Did a Nationwide Wal~Mart Commercial and has won every Award Wal~Mart offers. We both are still Very Involved in our Community. She wrote alot of grants for fire and Police/Sheriffs dept over the years and we both know everyone in law enforcement. Being I worked 25 years for the Sheriffs Dept where I retired in 2014. Where has the years gone? I made a movie for her a few years ago for her surprise 50th B Day Party She had alot of people that were in the movie there.

Diane BO is a cream Puff he is nice is your doggy nice? Well Gypsy has her moments and is a blonde so forgets what you teach her sometimes or even forgets what she was doing when she gets distracted. No offense to any blondes on RTH but she actually is partly blonde so it's natural...LOL. Nice, hmmm, I wouldn't describe her as nice except when you have food for her...LOL. Well looks like a Poket full of treats might be in order when we are around Gypsy! Tommy we got our hats today in the mail So we had to try em out!

I know alot of people have heard of permanently lubricated. Well it is due to having Bronze Bushings Impregnated witn PTFE (teflon) lubricant. The bronze bearing actually has channels and holds lubricant to keep the enough lubricant to lubricate over the life of the product. Altho this is much better than the Thumler design it wold be a 100% impovement. A piece of nylon wrapped around a Shaft doesn't hold lubricant and is JUNK! Here is a Bronze Bearing Impregnated with PTFE this bearing has much closer tolerances. I will think about this some more and come up with a better solution.

Guess when you work in the service field your entire life and Pull Preventive Maintenance on your equipment -vs- Re-active Maintenance I guess it depends what side of the tracks you come from. In my many years on this earth I have realized there are 3 types of people. 1. The Ones That Make It Happen. 2. The Ones That Watch It Happen. 3. And The Ones That After It's All Over Say WTFrank Just Happened? I Oil my Shafts And White Bearings Monthly along with my MTR Two - Three Drops of Oil. And I still Get Worn Groved Shaft's. Just took these pictures and used Digital Calipers to Check how many thousandths the shafts were off and they are 16 thousandths out of spec. The pictures of the shafts are grooved and need more maintenance than I am giving. The conditions in Fla must be better than Mich........ I am running this through my mind and am wondering what would help this..... change out the shafts every couple months was bearing ends with solvent blow out with compressor reoil and set aside till next change out. How about a felt washer on each side of the bearing with oil applied? This would keep dust out, and provide additional lubrication to bearing. I dont have an answer but I am willing to try things to improve this situation. One thing for sure Sitting on your hands wont get it done.

I Rebuilt 14 Shafts this evening 6 Front Pulley Shafts and 8 Rear Shafts Complete with Rubbers, Retainers, And Bearings, And star retainers as Needed. The last picture shows the rebuilt shafts. It's on my list of things to do. Will do the spares then switch out with the ones on the 3 Model b's and then do those. Mine usually run for a year to a year and half before they start acting up. I have again about the same amount I will do today, Tela you don't want to let them wear too long without changing the bearings or you will wear the shaft out of tolerance and Ruin the shaft. Like Henry say's about a year and I would at least clean lube and check all tolerances against a new one. If tolerences are to far out of spec I will replace. Every 6 months they need to be cleaned and re-lubed.

Pat fernwood Thanks ladies. In the past two years being on here, I have never seen anyone post pictures of these so I thought I would give them a try. Well they kicked my arse. I have had pretty good luck with many many batches of stone and got to where I thought I could polish a Dog Turd. Well I got humbled and ate a CROW MEAT SANDWICH Well they don't taste very good so I will find out why and what I am doing wrong. They have a shine kinda a dull shine like being finished in the 2nd step in the vibe in the 220 AO. If anyone has had experience with these I would like to hear about it. Thanks

Sorry to hear this. Yes, let us know how things went otherwise. Things went good. I sat in my lazy boy and was lazy most of the day and watched football.
