Broken belts, cracked frames and grenading wheel bearings?

Bright and sunny so far today. Just checked the latest weather guess, and they're backing off the Friday/Saturday snow or rain. I woodn't mind the rain, can still see salt in places.

In the past I would have agreed with you but this company is buying American and sparring no expense. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Wouldn't that be something if a Chinese company used American bearings? I'd be amazed if they did that, though.

It be a damn shame to to put $10,000 into a motor and trans and then use a $2.00 wheel bearing.

After lunch check in. For all the rain predicted today it seems to be avoiding us here at work. Sprinkle here sprinkle there.
