That is a nice one. Nice price too! LOL Nice wood will make any gun look pretty. A few years ago I picked up a Marlin 39A. At the time Numrich (Gun Parts Corp) still had some "Century Limited" wood in stock, and I ordered new wood for it. Was under $100 shipped for the set. Ended up being really nicely figured wood. I posted about it on a shooting board, and another guy got some REALLY nice wood for his. I saved pics. First pic is the wood I got. Other pics are what he got. Someone on that board offered him $500 (iifc) for his, and he declined.

If I remember right Pivotworks were bought out by the company that sells All Balls bearings and are junk bearings now. I think @Fishfiles knows the story...

some very early AC/DC , I never heard this one before today

Beautiful shotgun. https://pacificsportingarms.com/product/krieghoff-k80-s-2020-gun-of-the-year-galapogos-309-psa-east/

Retro is right Pivot Works sold out and are All Balls with a Pivot Work package , junk China stuff

Quick update, I have some more miles on the tires and I am really liking the way they have performed so far. Got in some deeper mud and they pull great. They throw some mud especially with the wider wheels and tire combo I have. I don't have much time with work to get out on the trails, especially now the only access I have to the trails is now posted. Pictures for whoring purposes haha.

Yes fish, it does feel good to go conepletely through something but the gratification will come when it runs. here’s the case as it is now.

Having late lunch with mine today, she'll be 91 in June.

Made a little progress last night. Got the top end together along with the bottom end. Waiting for caber rings to complete the marriage. i froze the crank shaft in the deep freeze and heated the bearings. Those suckers slide right on. Then I froze the crank again with the bearings installed then heated the one case half. Slid right in. Then heated the other case and tried to slide that in. It didn’t go as smooth. Ended up having to freeze the half case with the crank in it again for about an hour then reheated the other empty case. Then it slid right together. had to pry the crank a little to center it in the case too. when I pried I dinged the case a little so I had to smooth that out in the case. Then got paranoid I got metal in the bottom end so it got a bath. Which then resulted in chipped paint so I’ve had to repaint some of the case as well. It was one of those two steps forward one step back kind of nights. but case is together and back to waiting for parts.

Sent Ron my 450ES screen and he's got it looking like new! The neutral light was dead (replaced) and the screen showed nothing other than backlight. The after pics speak for themselves. Awesom work Ron! And, as others have stated, the guy really keeps you updated on everything and knows his stuff!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone...I am looking forward to your collective advice and guidance!

Anything you get from Amazon is going to be All Balls. They bought out Pivotworks in 2017. The pic will NOT accurately describe what you get. Yes, on the original Honda bearings, and the early (good) pivotworks bearings, there were no seals on the sides of the bearings. They are open where you could see the grease and ball bearings, like in the picture on that ad. You will not get those. You will get new chinese garbage bearings. China bearings have seals in the sides. About a year and a half ago, I ordered a BUNCH of Pivotworks bearings on Black Friday, from several different sellers, all on Amazon. ALL were the sealed china bearings. Noticing the difference, I found a number on the seal, googled it, and it was an All Balls part number. I called Pivotworks and the phone number was All Balls racing. I talked to a tech there who confirmed that Pivotworks bearings are now repackaged All Balls bearings. The only difference is the Pivotworks have a "lifetime guarantee", which in reality is a one time free replacement. Having experience with All Balls bearings, I'll stick with OEM from now on. It's not worth the time and effort to install All Balls no longer than they last, even if I get a second set free. My time's worth more than that. So if you order those on amazon, you'll get crap bearings. When they fail in a matter of weeks, maybe a couple of months, you can mail them back (at your expense) and they'll send you another set of garbage bearings. That's it. One time replacement only. That's the "lifetime warranty"

I think I would let him plaint your plastics

Welcome TnHonda.

Got my fuel tank back from my cousin who does auto body and paint work this past weekend and I finished up the 250SX!!

@AKATV I have a 04 Honda Foreman 450S with a sun damaged speedometer. I pulled the outside cover off it last night. It has a "burned" looking oval in the middle of the display. If I shine a flashlight from the side, it makes it bright enough to read the information on the screen. Everything seems to be working, it is just hard to read even with the sun damaged outer cover removed. Can you help?

To all Mother's -- those with pets also -- have a great day

Those two AC/DC songs are on the 1st CD of this set. I have the set ripped to MP3s if ya want 'em?

I generally shop for major brand high quality replacements on the Internet. None of the good bearing companies sell cheap, but most sizes can be found a bit cheaper than OEM prices by shopping around. Edit: Pack new bearings with grease before installing them, even sealed bearings, cause they are generally shipped empty nowadays.

If it all comes up, it should be. About an acre. Not sure if there will be beans or corn planed this year where I hunt. I love our mountains in NC. Plan on going next month to my inlaws place for about a week. My first experience with snow up there was back in 09 or 10. Rode 5 hours to get there to be greeted my generators buzzing and very little lights on. Got to the top where the house was and saw the doorbell light on!! SHEEEEW. I did have to shovel snow for 2 hours just to get in the driveway since they had plowed the road a few times that week. The locals could tell I was new... asking where the snow shovels were at Walmart lol. It was ice under the snow which made the driveway terrible.

Tackled the front racks. Anyone comment on whether pivotworks bearings worth the money and labour? Looks like one of my front wheel has some play. Hopefully it’s not a worn knuckle.

Welcome Drakos, I'm sure your questions will be answered and you can get your old Foreman back up to tiptop shape...

Yep hope it's a great day for all the moms out there. Wish I still had mine but will think about her today....

Did you ever find a mass-manufactured part that does the same thing as strong ?

Alright, assembly of the printer is now complete. While mounting the heatbed on the Y-axis frame I added the Nylok Bed Leveling Mod. Chris Riley will demonstrate to y'all what that is all about here: The Delta 240 watts SMPS power supply is mounted and I intend to use that stock power supply while performing the initial calibration steps, finely adjusting the Nylok Bed Leveling Mod and printing the 1st test print. Once I am satisfied with optimization & calibration I intend to remove the SMPS power supply from the printer frame and wire up my new 480 watt, 24 volts DC/DC converter, so that the printer will be solar-powered by my battery bank/controller/panels. The DC/DC converter will be mounted outside (on the side) of the network enclosure so that the solar-powered power supply will not be exposed to the warm interior of the enclosure. Next up, gotta assemble the enclosure box, mount the two ventilation fans, mount a fan speed controller, mount the DC/DC converter, hang the LED lighting strips inside the top of the box and wire them all up for power. Here are pics of the completed Prusa i3 MK3S+ kit ($796.68 shipped) with the smooth PEI coated magnetic spring steel print sheet that comes with the kit. Not pictured are the other two magnetic spring steel print sheets sold by Prusa that I bought separately from the kit; the powder coated Satin sheet, and the powder coated Textured sheet:

Hi Donnie and welcome to the forum! I can get you taken care of no problem Dont forget to stop in new member are and say Hi! to everyone I will message you my contact information and we can get things rolling

I think @AKATV has brought more members to the board than the rest of us put together. LOL

Arkansas leg passed a similar bill. Our statist POS (R) governor vetoed it. My guess is the leg will override his veto (hopefully). He's term limited so he'll be gone before long, but I'd love to see him recalled now. He's awful, and always has been. Just remember, they're all terrible. Regardless of your political leanings, an (R) or (D) next to their name doesn't mean they're on your side.

yeah..saw that in the news...good for Montana and a few others. won't keep the feds away but at least when they come to call , you won't be also dealing with your local LEO... I'm looking at these old guns you guys have...so very very great to see them, and I'm wondering what my great grandkids might be posting 100 years down the road with some of the treasures we've bought in recent times.. We marvel at dbl barrel, double trigger systems a century back, they'll be trying to imagine how a 30rd magazine fed rifle was used.

Our Governor is turning some things around here, we haven't had a Republican Governor for 16 yrs. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/montana-governor-signs-bill-to-protect-second-amendment-from-federal-gun-restrictions

don't ya just love it when they lie ?!..lol.
