    So..
    I arrived here in GA last night at receiver outside gate.
    Had 3 minutes left on 14.
    Get up this morning.. Wrong Delivery number.
    4 trucks go around me, still no call back.
    Here, you pull on scale, type in on automation system your delivery number, said it was used on the 4th.
    So, after not hearing back now for 5 hours, I had an...idea.
    I typed in same unload number all but last digit, typed that in, said it had been used.
    So I added another number, Printer sent out unload sheet.
    So.
    I’m next to unload.

    Still gotta DH to Fairburn to get reload...so another trip around the watermelon 500..

    Well I have one of the two fender barckets remounted on the tractor. Alas the silver and demming drill bit I have is past the hardness area and wont hold an edge now. The last time I bought the set it was only $7 (6.99). Looked it up on Northern Tool and its almost $40. Sticker shock! LOL. Maybe this weekend I will get another set.

    Tho another surprise. I was drilling holes and noticed the holes wer considerably larger than the 3/8" bolts that were in the fender. Wondering what size it was I placed one of the 5/8" axle bolts against the hole and was amazed to realize that the fender is designed to hold a 5/8" bolt, not the rinky dink tiny 3/8" bolts it had. Something else that will be changed soon.

    Pitman arm must have been "loose" because every third spline was missing....:eek:

    Unless it's a typo, and they mean 10.25 DEGREES.

    Kinda like those overturned "95,000 gallon fuel tankers" the local lamestream "news" is always harping about.

    But you can use a 14mm to tighten those 3/8th bolts. Might have to scrounge an archaic SAE set to get the 5/8 bolts tight. And after digging through the archive of tools you will need to figure out fractions and inches. Might as well go Whitworth (BSW) at that rate.

    I have impact sockets up to 2" and open end wrenches up to 1.5". As well as a 18" crescent wrench. Also there is Dad's (he named it) 24" Monkey Wrench. I am not hurting to find a wrench to handle a 15/16" nut

    So.
    After 7 hours at that one unload place in Flowery Branch... I drive across Atlanta all the way around to FairBurn.
    No product.
    Notta, None.
    One truck ahead waiting for the same thing.
    Be around midnight, they say.
