Just remembered another one. Buddies on our way to hunting in the way back woods. Took my old 1 ton chassis camper on Ford with rear dual wheels.
The dual wheels have a certain chamfer in the stud holes that have to match up. Facing in, facing out, facing in, facing out on both flanges around the hub. Well, the prev idiot didn't align them right, and going over rough road the last of the studs finally gives way, and both wheels leave the hub. I'm sitting on the axle, in the outback, no way a wrecker could come get us, and it would cost a billion to get on the wrecker anyway. Fix it in place.
So, we get some lumber under the chassis and work the jack around until we could get the hub up enough so the oil sloshed back to the other side of the ring and pinion gear. Pull the outer center bolts and pull the axle. Pull the nut and hub off, and drive out the busted studs on the hub. Set it on a couple of rocks, and let the jack down.
Go around to the other side. Same job, jack it up, pull the wheels, pull the bolts and the axle, pull the hub and knock out FOUR of the eight studs carefully so we don't booger the threads. Put the duals back on with 4 nuts in the correct orientation, let the jack down.
Back to the other side, jack up, pull hub, hammer FOUR studs into our hub, put it back on the housing, put axle and bolts in, orient the duals and put four nuts on that side. Let it down, and we are off!
Lasted the whole weekend until we could get to an auto parts store on Mon. I was pretty sure we were gonna loose it again on the rough road, but they held rather well. On the way home, of course the ole 292 started to overheat because the heads were cracking again. I sold that thing for scrap after that trip from hell. Didn't get a deer either.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
