Where is everyone #5

Hopefully that was not @TooTiredToTalk. After her last postings, she sounded disturbed enough to get involved in something like that.

 

That should have been on the hoof. Dang predictive send autocorrect features.

 

Ford Ranchero, had to be doing 70mph when he went by me as I was outside the truck as the crew was in the process of moving the mill to the other lane. Glancing blow off the broom blade sent him into a 4 wheel drift and hit the mill like a ton of bricks. Driver ended up under the machine and didn't make it, by the Grace of God nobody else hurt.

 

Dang Red Pop.

 

That is sad. Only takes one moment of stupidity or carelessness to end a life and spread sorrow to family and friends. Life is precious. Be careful.

 

Before my time, but very neat and appreciate you sharing.

I know GM had uni mounts in the 50's was it just them, or did others use them?

 

I don't know for sure but this was on my 96 IHC 9200 with the 5 hole IHC aluminum wheels. The beads can wear out and it is an art to rebuild them. Most shops scrap wheels when the beads wear out but a good machinist can rebuild them. those IHC wheels were $475 CDN and I paid $175 for the rebuilds. This was in 2003 or so.

 

Someone had to be closer than me I think, guessed 1310

 

I took your original post way different. My fault. Yea I know those wheels. I worked for Ih around then. They also didn't put plastic between them and drum from most trucks. They rotted bad on the rim to hub surface. Nice looking wheels.
