Project Countdown
Who am I kidding, finish one project and two more crop up.
Finished the Toro about as far as it going to go. Mrs. C tried it out and then tried the Deere. She gave the Toro two big thumbs down, so maybe I can palm it off on one the tractor collectors around here and gain a bit more room. Pads and rotors on the Jeep today. Updated the beast with drilled and slotted rotors, along with carbon metallic pads. I thought it well before the new brakes. All I can say is WOW! Easy enough job for the most part. TJ parking brakes were their usual PITA, though. Did find two things that will need to be dealt with. A rear axle seal has started leaking and I found the source of the 'Death Wobble' I'd get between 53 and 55 mph. Right side axle u-joint is toast. I was in gasping mode regarding what that was going to cost but not too bad, under $60 for everything. Parts should be here after next weekend. I was going to replace the Jeeps' rotted out rear bumper, too, but broke a wrench in the process of getting off the first bolt. So I said "screw it, beer thirty". The CX quit on me so there's another project I wasn't planning on. As it's a week out, at least, on parts for both, I'll spent some time on the mini bike this week after work, making sparks.
