Still moving slow, but coming back quick! Yeah, snow would probably slow me down...a little. haha.gyknot wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 7:03 amFor a one armed bandit you are getting quite a bit accomplished.
We got some good snow the last couple of days so even though I have a decent shop to work in, my ambition completely goes away during the winter. I'll just watch others get something done and do some figuring.
Well, took the two bomb trailer tires to the tire shop to see if they could set the beads this am. Also dropped off five half-ton wheels to have the tires dismounted so I can blast, prime, and paint the wheels.
They called a few hours later and said they were done. They charged me $8 to inflate the bomb trailer tires. I deflated them before I took them in. The beads still weren't set. They told me it was impossible to set the beads on the one side of the wheel due to the design of the wheels. I told them that I set the other two wheels on both sides. They looked at me like I had an extra eye in my forehead. Oh well, gave it a shot. I'll try again later to see if I can do it. Took me a while to get the other two to set.
Charged me $75 to dismount the five half-ton split rims. Beats doing it myself! I really can't have a go at them right now anyway.
