Jon, at least you haven't had your brakes apart four times. How many times can you torque a set of McGregor lugs to 90 foot pounds?

Hev, Route 9 is also called the Airline Highway. It's all fixed up now and I doubt you'd recognize but a few sections.

Mitch, wheel bearings done, transmission filter and fluid done, brakes might be done though they are still running hot, oil change done, plugs, points, timing, dwell done, and I found the friggin' leak!

Andre, I thought I looked a bit queer in that one, but D looks great as usual.

What's this John Deere stuff? Is it like Lionel and Mikey?

Queer have few synonyms some are slang.
and Did you found the leak?
About 90 lbs/ft only if you have alloy rims, DO NOT tight standard rims to 90 lbs/ft.

Andre, that is lovely work! Well done. You are a true hobo. What should I torque steel wheels to?

Hey, hey. UPS brought me a little package today. Finally got the MTH Premier club car, Waddell Coal. Pretty nice little car. I like the spring loaded hopper doors.

I have two vehicles that were new in 2001. The Ford Crew Cab has 96,000 miles and the Mercury Sable has 119,000 miles on it. I have been lucky and they have not needed anything more than tires. Well my wife drives the Sable and the air condition went out two years ago. I told her it is on my list to get repaired but since winter is almost here I just might hold off. I told her the AC works if you open the sun roof and crack the rear windows. She didn't think that was too funny though.

To be honest I just forget about the Sable since I drive a 2007 company car that has working AC. In any event I know both the truck and car need some things replaced but it is at the point is it worth the cost. Besides except for the winter the truck just does the farm work.

What can I say about the work of AG, it is next to priceless.

I have two things ordered and my K-Line PPR Hammer Head diesel should be in next month. I'm not sure when my new CN diesel will be ready from MTH since it just came out in their #2 catalog. Oh I did forget I ordered three of those Harry Potter trains sets too.

The only problem with John Deere tractors is the price. Oh and by the way their compact tractors are made in Asia. Come to think of it most compact tractors are made their.

Hey, you got your Clicquot Club car! We have one too! NICE car. VERY nice car. VERY NICE CAR.

And Mitch, that coal hopper looks REALLY REALLY REALLY NICE too.

But Andre, your brass thing is THE END ALL OF THE NICEST THINGS. It's really amazingly beautiful. Whatever it is.

It seems the guy who caught Barry Bonds homerun ball is going to sell it because several people told him he would be taxed on the valuable souvenir if he holds onto it.
How could you be taxed on something like that? :roll:

Easy, a lot of people saw the guy and took pictures of him (he catch the famous ball) so is easy to recognize. Big brother is watching you.....

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Steel wheels on a car get torqued to a minimum of 70 ft. lbs. If the car is equipped with 7/16" studs, 70 to 80 ft. lbs., if you have 1/2" studs, 80 to 100 ft. lbs. Aluminum wheels go 15 to 20 over the previous specs. You're not puttin' spark plugs in, you're puttin' wheels on!
