Craigs B-85

All I know is you're making the next keys.

I have measurements, I'll message them to you.

The hubs have one of our stud kits and are ready to go. The wheel offset from the old to the new wheel is a little different but in a good way, 1 1/2" had to be cut off of the axle but shorter will just make it stronger. If both axles were the same length this wouldn't be so bad but of course they are different.

It doesn't look like much but this is one great accomplishment, you fellow machinists will understand lol.

Both sides are done. I don't think I knew what I was getting into.

It is definitely one of a kind and can take any wheel we want to put on it, and it makes for easy tire changes and repairs now.

Great job as always...........................................................................................................................

I think we should call him Digger.

It feels good to know that after almost 5 months, next week I will be caught up on work that is physically in the shop other than one from Alabama. Granted there is a list of people that I have on a will call list that is another year of work but I'm taking August off to have a big sale, redo the parts dept with all the new Fastenal racks, make some changes to the shop, bring in some new equipment, and make a bunch of parts I'm getting low on. And... I'm cutting back to about 60-65 hours a week lol.

Most of the little things are done, it's running, and the hood got painted again, over the last coat to fill some light sanding marks I didn't like from so much filler primer, it will look really good now. I think doing the black on the hood and getting the lights in it are all that's left, that will be Monday after the red cures up good.

I have to have a pic lol. This isn't a great one, just one of more bulb changing and cleaning going on today but I got some of the tractor and deck in there.
