Does This Look Familiar?

Re: Does This Look Familiar?

Better to shake out all the weak links now, and enjoy later.

A friend had the philosophy, make all the weak parts break now, so you can replace them with parts that last.

I don't know if he ever managed that, since they seem to always be breaking.

I don't know who first said it, or when, but it is probably the truest statement ever uttered by an ape with a large brain.

Clem:

I only now saw your response to my thread, because my browser somehow split it off from all the other responses. U joints and axle yokes are always the first to go. They always make one helluva mess to the floorboards. The hubs are pretty beefy, and if they were never weakened from excess heating, then they very rarely broke.
