  • today we celebrated my freedom because on this day 37 years ago, i said the words "I Do" which basically ended my life until she said "I Don't". if i was still married, i would not be living at the end if the world in a 10x30 shack down by the tracks in a gated community. now i am retired and enjoying life being single and working on my collectables as a famous 5 star Amazon author plus a RUclips influencer too. i knew cleaning out the transmission and rear end on the Adams 550 road grader known as Gomez was going to be a dirty job but it had to be done. oh well i got it done and the staff was busy too. Sir Rodney sent a video showing his end of the parts we are ordering. please enjoy. thansk

    King🤴, it rained off and on all day here in Louisiana. It still managed to get up to 94F. I'm so sore from working on the Freightliner that I stayed in today. It's great that you have Sir Rodney to take care of you. Gomez is coming along nicely. Talk to you later.

    Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Sir Rodney, you go above and beyond, you're a great parts manager and your hair looks perfect 😉👍 plastic bags and dripping contaminated diesel everywhere, you don't want to get that swedish kid pissed, it would be embarrassing to see her smack the crap out of you 😂 you sure are a walking environmental hazard 😁 thanks for another educational and entertaining video 👍✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦

    It takes wisdom to speak the sad truth in such a funny and light way. Speaking of his 20-buck purchase, I'll tell y'all... it's sad when someone doesn't like when you're proactive and smart... it's also difficult to notice the stress and brakes they might impose on you in order to keep you down. And the media helped keeps us, men mostly, tamed and unable to notice, let alone react. This channel is such a precious jem. Thank you, Joey KoO! God bless you sir.

    Hats off to Sir Rodney, It's priceless to have a parts guy who cares to go the distance and get the parts. It seems the older we get more parts guys retire and it's the end of the line for finding parts that fit. I used to get seals and bearings at a Napa near me, but the owner retired and they sold all the inventory to different places. Now I can't even find out who got what, so it's kind of over. On that parking brake, drum, shoes and wheel cylinder. I wonder if that brake fulfilled the need to stop the pto or the axle when shifting into Forward Reverse or in and out of transfer. You can't shift unless everything stops, then they probably threw in the guts to make it double as a parking brake. Old School Smarts from back in the day. You might be able to find link bars and springs from a car salvage yard off a vehicle w/ a drum brake about the same size. Any way, making progress.

      Sir Rodney has the clutch brake to reline, it is needed to stop everything from turning to get in to gear. the park brake with the wheel cycling was most likely used to get the maximum amount of braking power on paper. but we all know that anything built before 1970s did not have much braking power. thansk

    You are absolutely right about the paper straw at A&W. Me living in ND and going to Sask often I always bring a plastic straw so I can enjoy my root beer. I have to say Sir Rodney has to be the best parts man I’ve seen. I’m jealous he’s not at the truck shops or implements I use.

    I can't touch or feel that "plastic" bag, but here in Onscario, they have moved ahead with allowing a certain grade of single-use plastic items that are made with the right kind of materials. What, exactly, the "right kind of materials" is, I don't exactly know, but it ends up being a more environmentally friendly plastic straw, fork, knife, spoon, and they are distributing plastic bags once again. The plastic bags have a distinctly different feel to what we remember from 10 years ago. They don't make the crinkly sound of your typical plastic bag. I have a few around, but have not really tested the hell out of them to see what kind of torture they can hold up to. Right now, all I know about them is that they are cheaper than paper bags, and that is why some businesses have resorted to using them.
    As for blocking off that hole (at 20:02), what about a rubber plug that you would find on a truck wheel oil bath-type hub cap? I don't know how much pressure will build behind that cover, but a rubber plug seems like the way to go, if no pressure will build.

    Sorry guys, but plastic straws are new world, when I was a kid, there were only paper straws and glass straws. I remember A&W from 1970, when I was in the service. Seems like the root beer was tastier then. I don’t remember the straws. I do remember the cardboard cups, which were cones. Big on the bottom, and a small hole at the top. Much handier for in a vehicle. And the A&W’s had car service. They brought your order out to you. Anyway, the difference between paper and plastic straws sounds like a Princess and the pea story to me. The wide spread use of plastic straws also probably makes all that oil going in the motor grader more expensive. Take care.

    • @kingofobsolete4789
      @kingofobsolete4789  17 дней назад +1

      yes i think you are correct with no straws back in the day at A&W. plus the food and root beer had better taste too thansk
