Re: What did you get done this weekend?
Friday, Replaced driver side caliper with 73 and up style and the hose. Got the spring moved back into the correct position, it slipped out and was rubbing on the k member.
Saturday did pretty much the same on the passenger side except kept the same caliper, it was already the newer style. The reason I switched is I figured the newer parts would be available longer. Then the wife and I went to a farm auction. This old guy was a compulsive shopper, I'm not kidding. I heard someone say he probably never went to town without bringing something back with him. I got a pretty cool Napa Brakes parts cabinet, a 45 piece large size tap and die set (goes up to 1" size), an AC welder and a 10 ton press. I could have got a lot more, but on the small tools they kept bunching up the things I wanted with stuff I already have, which is just as well or I would have spent too much anyway. So I spent the rest of the day cleaning that cabinet.
Sunday I painted the engine compartment, nothing fancy, just black rustoleum to freshen it up and sprayed the new power brake booster and M/C also. Put a new power cord on the welder and cleaned it up also. Then went swimming with the kids, then took them to the dirt track race up in Redwood Falls to finish the day.
This was one of the best fathers day weekends ever.
