Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

My friend grows several varieties -- keeps me stocked up!

 

Danny I hope your feel better, get well

 

Anybody order from Rockauto? They have a thread with a discount code, apparently they change the date and code every so often

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rockauto-com-discount-code-expires-february-11-2022.86042/

 

Do they know if the first one works yet?

 

Yep, since 2013. They also send me personal codes in my email. Same discount.

 

Yeah, I've made about 7-10 over the years

 

I always seem to need something right after the code expires.
I have spent aof money with them over the years, no problems.

 

I order from them alot. Have to watch shipping though as different parts might ship from different vendors so it gets expensive quick!

 

Sometimes I wish I could just close my eyes and go

 

Looks cracked?

 

Well there's typically not an air gap between the shaft and inner surface of the bearing...

 

Good luck. I'll send prayers your way.

 

Put some grease in it

 

Damn, that's scary. Praying you get through the rough stuff and heal!

 

Nice wheel adapter. throwing 8 lugs on the taco?

 

You seem to be playing with alot of shafts recently...

 

Hi everyone. Work has been painfully slow but the pay is the same. My rear end getting sore from sitting.
@07RedTacoDawg , prayers for you buddy.

@BananaMan , I was wondering if any applications at your work use automatic lubrication devices?
Might be worth looking into them, make those bearings last longer.
Hope everyone is doing well, I'm hanging in there. Just wish we were more busy, but then again might want to be careful what I wish for.

 

with how much debris and dust I see right there, it'd need sealed bearings or they'd be gummed up in no time.

 

We use FRL's on our air system for cylinders/machinery. But as far as automated bearing greasers? Heh, hehehehehe. The closest we come to that is having the Milwaukee battery powered grease guns, but it's difficult to hit every bearing in a sawmill when there's only two people doing it when they're not fixing everything that's broken.

 

Interestingly it's not a roller bearing. It is a Babbitt clamshell style bearing, which has obviously met its end.
