You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
I had to mow the lawn and help the Missus with the shopping on Saturday.
So I did a bit of work on Sunday.
Today I got the rest of the tracta joint ball seals.
I removed the outer tracta joint ball.
The socket for it is mostly steel and has a smaller surface area.
The ball is adjusted by shims.
The bronze part of the socket which holds the seal has a track around it for oil/grease to flow from top to bottom kingpin and lower wishbone bushes.
removal and fitting is more difficult because of the need to work though the middle of the casting that joints top and bottom wish bone bushes.

My Two new toys to cut and fold some sheet metal for the Stalwart.( and other things...rusty Wiles Senior cooker in the pipe line )
I picked them up at a good price (deceased estate).
Just got to learn how to use a pan brake.
Still got to find a cost effective way to get them to work.
The guillotine alone is over 2500kg
All is in very good working order.
I badly lack the room for them.

Would be fun.
