Pullstart 59,644 #305 Posted January 13, 2020 I’m glad the job’s almost over and BBT didn’t get paint all over those nice red boots! I think if you’re gonna kick her out in the cold you should at least get her an outdoor workbench EB! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you’re gonna kick her out in the cold you should at least get her an outdoor workbench EB! Well now lemme see... She's a female. She's a strong-willed country person. She's also BBT. Let us not forget what that stands for. Now really boys... Do you honestly think I can MAKE that little woman do ANYTHING?? 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing is I did mention to my Paint Department yesterday that you folks were going to start getting restless. I thought maybe we should throw a bolt or two in between the adapter and the frame or something just to appease but we didn't really get to it. I will have a networking meeting with her tonight and advise her of the situation. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,078 #315 Posted January 26, 2020 Trina spent some time this evening cleaning up the front axle. This axle is one off the parts pile from a C series I believe. Here's a pictorial: Here it is after degreasing by soaking with "Incredible Pink" After a little time with her wire brush. More brown sparkly paint tomorrow. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're doing well to get this country girl to have anything more than bare feet!! This pic shows my boot next to her little boots.
