    I have 2 wheelbarrows...one is the 2 wheel type for mama and the other the standard single wheel...I prefer... the problem...the rubber on these tire sis so thin, our most prolific weed (star thistle) the thorn of that weed easily punctures through the rubber and into the inner tube. Checking the 2 wheeler...the rubber is old and cracked (dry) so the inner tube would be pointless to replace...each tire (new) is ony 8$ less than a new barrow...similar issue with the single wheel. So looks like I will be buying two new wheelbarrows.....makes no sense! Marketing sucks for sure!!!!!!!

    LOL +1 for the mechanicals. Last year pulling sand boxes middle of nowhere pa, no cell service, the gauge starts dropping. Found a wide spot to pull over and remembered the spare that's been under the bunk since we got it. Sometimes you get lucky

    It’ll be ok my friend... ;) I usually always land on my feet.

    Wife and I along with my daughter and my sister are heading to Pigeon Forge to a cabin just to getaway. I wanted to squeeze one more run in before I take off. Through it all I feel blessed. Take care my friend!!!

    Lol Your gut has a crystal ball my friend!! :D

    My gut tells me to stay home whenever one of these cash grabs fires up.. Its a moot point anyways cause it seems my tag & cabcard are lost in the mail. Dang thing is 9days late now, & can't get a human on the phone at the FL IRP office!! :mad:

    My alt was giving me fits last time I was out, so I was able to pickup find a new Delco 22SI. The voltage regulator must of sorted itself out, cause the gauge started staying pegged on 14v as soon as I bought it.. :confused:

    Side question how important it the 80ft lb of tq required when swapping the pulley over.? You got to hold the pulley shaft with an Allen key, then tighten the nut with a crows foot style torque wrench that I don't have.. Can I just give'er with a box wrench..?

    All i ever do, the nut won't back off since the shaft rotates opposite of the way the nut rotates.
