Funny how mud and water aren't quite as good of lubricants and grease
and oil...
One of the Heeps I wheeled with this weekend found that out. We were
chasing a brake problem and found a totally trashed hub assembly: hub
nuts totally off, bearings in many pieces with rollers having made it
between the spindle and seal, mud-packed Warn lockout, etc. The thread
and spindle survived, so we cleaned it up, got new bearings, races, seal
and brake pads (the wheel was wobbling badly enough that it lost a brake
pad; hence the brake problem that made us check it out in the first place)
I killed another BFG AT, but otherwise it was a good weekend. (Walt,
I'll let you know if I'm still on. I'd say 95% odds that I *WILL* be there)
