Nothing wrong with cheap beer, drinking PBR tonight. Sometimes you gotta drink the cheap chit to remember and appreciate where you came from

I'm tightening believe me,

Here's a pic of the rear axle retainer

PS, engine was mounted on plywood

Massage the jackshaft. Start slowly, then faster. Use plenty of lube. It’ll fix it and might even help with the pillow blocks. YW.

You always have a project you are working on. Idle hands are the devil's workshop. So he ain't know where near you.

I mowed mine tonight. Going to Cars & Coffee in the morning and doing some other things around Morgan Manor tomorrow. So I got the mowing out of the way tonight.

I have no doubt it will be done right. And it does sound like you are spending a bunch of time on that project. But you will be in Blondie's good graces when you are done.
