Good Morning.
32 degrees here with a high of 36 predicted. It feels warmer than that for some reason.
I got one of the power trucks disassembled for one of the centipedes and I am sure I can fabricate decent pick ups that will maintain contact with the wheels. It is hard to believe that with pickups on 16 wheels that you can lose power but the design of these is horrible. These are 10 years old and I think the tension has gone out of the bronze allowing the wipers to bend inward and stay there. I tried reshaping them but they won't hold the shape. I intend to try one of Wayne's methods to make pickups and I am pretty sure I can do it.
Tom, what did I miss about your toe?
Enjoy the day everyone. in only 2 weeks the days start growing longer for us here in the northern hemisphere, and my attitude will adjust accordingly.
