After some wrestling, cursing and struggling the backhoe rear axle is assembled. Hopefully 2 pesky o-rings were all it took to fix the brakes. 

So before I go to bed I finally got confirmation of having a TBI on the front temperal lobe. How bad and how old has yet to be answered, but the VA is getting me into some things for it, and other things.

Today was x-rays on both knees and my right ankle; and an assesment for a therapy program who's name escapes me.

Tomorrow is the eye docs and I believe another CT scan or an MRI. I'm interested to see what else they find out.

Good to here you are getting everything checked out J. How is the VA hospital in your area?

Is nice when you don't need a jack on heavy equipment.

Damn, what happened?

More like 2 $15 parts,holding up a 15k machine. One 10" o-ring and one 12" one.  Transmission was lowered on a jackstand, axle was removed (150+ lbs beast) and dragged out on wood blocks. 

 

Repair manual calls for the entire transmission to be take out of the machine. Biggest issue is putting the axle back on, as the brake assembly (piston, pad and rotor) all want to drop out. And I first put the axle upside-down. Then I forgot I could lower the transmission even more to clear the frame. And I had to slide the axle in position on wood blocks and patiently lift it up by any means until I can use some old head bolts to align it. 

 

I should get the wheel back on today and take pictures to put it up for sale. Pity I didn't have any jobs to do with it after I changed the windshield. All my latest experiences were with a scratched up plexiglass windshield  

Stupid stancers...this is what you call camber

 

Not this

I'm currently working on a Backhoe Loader Axle design. Working on the brakes because our India counter parts can't get there heads out of a bad design.

looks like fun Adrian. I grew up working in my dads heavy equipment repair shop, so don't envy you.

IED explosion?

J, I'm sorry about the news. I hope that a diagnosis helps you in anyway possible.

I am sure the docs will get that injection issue straightened out. Personally mine have never worked properly.

;-)

keep us poasted, you are in out thoughts.

Adrian has that Transylvania lean yo!

Umm, yeah. Got gas in the boat. Heard a little noise from the rear and saw my brake cable dancing.

Think the caliper probably needs bolts...

Weight is falling back in line. 183.5lbs today, and I made it a point to do cardio to sweat out some of that water

 

Stick with it.

Loctite might not be a bad idea.

I was wondering who else would catch it.  I can't ALWAYS be the perv.

Yo, in she came with the same type game
The type of girl givin out the fake cell phone and name
Big fame, she like cats with big thangs
Jewels chip, money clip, phone flip, the six range
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once
Ass so fat that you could see it from the front
She spot me like paparazzi; shot me a glance
in that catwoman stance with the fat booty pants, Hot damn!

I noticed. I also like how Aaron named his image simply "hoe"

Didn't have much mojo at the gym today. Moved good weight but sore from previous days and a little sluggish so ran out of steam quickly. Only did 3 sets instead of my usual 4.

Coincidence..... You decide.
