Crookedrows and I sat there with BAStar and Darrel Poindexter until after one yesterday. We took a break and went back for the HPOCA meeting at 2. That ended a little past 2:30, then we went out walking again. We must have just missed you coming and going. I met Lenray and ran in to Tractor Terry, as well as a few lurkers today. Long exhausting four days, but everything is home.
A slight disaster on the way home with the last load. Two tractors on the tri axle trailer, just started up the overpass on 57 over 127, the trailer whipped just a little bit, one time, then WHAM! The whole thing about went air born. Everything goes through your mind for a split second, then I saw a tire bouncing. A wheel bearing went out on the center axle and the whole hub came off. I pulled off real quick, jumped out and tried to kick the tire over when it rolled past, but it was going too fast.
Luckily it rolled straight up and over the overpass and finally went off and hit the guardrail and didn't go off the overpass and land on a car below.
We jacked the axle up and wrapped a chain up over the frame to hold it up. I know I ticked some people off by driving 45 the last 30 miles home, but I wasn't even comfortable going that fast. It's sure going to feel good to get in bed tonight!

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
