One of my buddies came over last night, and we used my Duramax “Ruby Wilbur” to give Colleen a bit of an assist. We’re free!

Cut out a new muffler for the 308-8. Went down to Kpnnic to get it welded up. We put it on to see how it sounded. It's a lot quiter then the original. I just need to remove it and get it painted.

Surprised that Craftsman hasn't had the crap kicked out of it when the shop was closed up...

@Lee1977 and @AlexR I took your collective advice. Made this little jig up to center my hole saw and it worked pretty well. As expected, it got just into the smaller bolt pattern so I just rounded them out the best I could. Looks sort of like ATV wheels now ... A little at least. Looks good enough for a garden tractor. Test fits OK. Sprayed a first coat of primer on so it won't flash rust and stopped there for tonight. The other wheel already has a tire mounted so that one might be interesting holding it while cutting the center out. Maybe some ratchet straps will hold it...

yeah what lynnmor says!

I have been reading and watching this post since its start. I have not commented before. It is easy to give advice on what to or not to do in things like this specially after the fact and even to make a little fun of it since the recipient is such a good sport. I am not going to do that. What I am going to do is to say how sad and unscrupulous human beings can be for the sake of profit. But let’s not worry about them because they will get their due sooner or later in their miserable existence. A few things I gather from reading this. It’s a few lessons for the rest of us. Through the disappointment and feeling really violated ,Kevin still made the best of the trip and of the situation. He wasn’t secretive about it but shared the whole thing unlike what many would do. He proceeded to fix the problems specially the safety related ones and makes the best of a bad situation. And finally, although sadly due to someone’s dire situation an opportunity to make everything work out surfaces. The lesson here is that good things always happen to those who deserve it and mean well in life. And Kevin, as far as your comment that neither you or your RV wouldn’t “fit in” in those places, don’t ever think like that. You and your family fit anywhere you want to be and it would be those that don’t think you fit in that do not in fact fit in and deserve the privilege to know you and your family.
