    That's probably why we've never seen any. Couldn't keep them together.

    I can (usually) find all the chainsaw stuff, I keep it in a plastic tote because of the oil dripping mess that is everything associated with chainsaws. :mad:

    Sometimes I can even find the tote... :anonymous:

    Would that have been for a kind of basic suspension?

    Kind of interesting; something home-made. The grousers on the outer rims are just square stock welded to what looks like an old implement rim. The centers look like they could be part of the final drive mechanism out of an old crawler. I've seen something similar tearing into an old Northwest shovel we have. Definitely ingenious!

    Doubt it.. the clear part is only about 24" wide, and besides, our road-maintenance folks are all huddled around the coffee-pot. We won't see a street sweeper on the base until spring!

    It's also possible that those sprung centers having nothing at all do with the wheel rims they're stacked on...

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I need to park in the same space or very near every time.

    Since I drove so many different vehicles and had keys for everyone at times I did forget.

    When trying to figure how to fix the latest work disaster handed off to me.

    This was not your normal driver was it??

    The first time to a New Customer can be a Royal pain more so before cell phones .

    Do you answer the phone if the boss is not there??

    Normal driver. I used to answer the phone if he was gone, 99% of our customers call his cell now.

    One of our customers, I did some work on his tiller years ago. He text me about a year ago and said he needed some parts done. He ALWAYS wants to go to the front of the line. I told him my boss signs my check, I do what he tells me. He said okay, hasn't text me since.....

    Until Sunday at lunch, he said you busy at work? I have 30 parts that need welded. I said I would say we have plenty to do, I been off for 9 days. He text me again at 10 pm on SUNDAY night telling me he left them on the dock.

    I waited until lunch Monday and told him I would tell the boss.

    I drug the pallet in Monday morning, haven't touched them.

    He's always complaining about price as well.

    Powdercoater told him 2 years ago don't contact him about doing anything else.

    Yeah, he's that guy :facepalm:
