Were you crossing the GW on Tuesday? It took me 3 hours for wb due to emergency construction on the bridge. I put my dish on a pole that I attached to the head ache rack when I'm parked. I have it so it clears the tractor. It will work most of the time . But like you say if its windy out it will not set up.

 

It was Thursday for me. Typical NY driving style.. no one giving up so much as an inch of courtesy.

I was west bound out of CT.

I do my best to avoid the east bound GW toll if it makes sense.

So not a good idea to hang them from my headache rack?

I have to give my ratchet binders periodic sprays of CRC lube or WD40 to prevent them from locking up. Another reason why I prefer the simplicity of snap binders.

Hurst that crow is in Belgrade Mn on us 71 at tourist info center just south of town. About 70 mi se of me.

 

Close them if you're storing them outside, and pb blaster works better than wd 40 imho

 

I find a good graphite spray works the best, most others attract dust way to easily.

 

The WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. Water displacer sure, penetrant sure, lubricant NO.. Okay it will lubricate till it dries, which isn't very long

 

The best lube I have ever found is called John Deere Multi purpose lube. I get it in gallon jugs and use it in the old fashioned squirt cans. Not cheap, I want to say around $30 a gal. But it flat out works. Its kind of like a really thin drill press cutting oil. You can put one drop on a bolt thread and watch it surround the threads and run through a half seized nut.

 

The best lube I've found is KY. Just sayin....

 

I could suggest better brands..... wait i mean whats ky?
