Yeah, but the $165 bucks doesn't include the $100+ that I spent on hiring, bits and pieces. And now I cant get the fan on with the new woodruff key (at least the mechanic couldn't).

I'll go have a look soon. Bahhhh!

I've got my own mate! She's not rich, but she's sweet and I love her (7 years married, and no itches yet - just an unsightly rash).

Good to hear young love blossoming with you too! Keep the KG pressure up. Isn't there one on Ebay at the moment? (not the one in WA)

It's a bit chilly today, and I've gotta go play with the "woodruff of doom" now. Again, I've been putting it off. The mechanic reckons the thing is too tall. Width is spot on. Think I should have a grind?

Everything up here is just grate. Got some rain last night the first for 4 months yaaaaaa
But even more exciting , I took Vern for a drive to Rockhampton and back on Monday 200 k round trip and he just purred and went like a rocket. Took wife (20 years married just for the record) and the twins (5 yrs) up and we all had a ball 'cept the girls complained that it was hot and the "air con" needs to be fixed ! Got tomorrow and the next day off then here for the weekend. One more week then look out Gold/Sunshine Coasts

Good one Duckster!
i forgot congrats on reaching the 1000 mark wombat
Nothing to be proud of mate. I asked Andrew to make it Learner Dubber just to spin some people out! I had some other ideas, but this is simple and stupid!

As for the Fan Bolt Woodruff problem: the mechanic couldn't get the thing together and left saying it required probably a special Woodruff key to deal with the taper on the crank. After finding out that this was codswallop, I had a crack myself, AND RESTORED MY FAITH THAT I'M NOT A COMPLETE MECHANICAL WASTE OF SPACE!!!

Yes, I got the thing together. He hadn't properly cleaned out the woodruff channel, which was full of gunk, and a piece of the old disintegrated one.

So, I've put everything together, and He's alive again! Yay! Off for a test run soon!
