Frankentruck

Decided to let the stain dry for today so I can start sealing it up tomorrow. Today's project was putting new bearings and races in my dad's boat trailer. Also took apart both bearing buddies and put some fresh grease in everything. After packing the wheel bearings, I grabbed my great grandpa's grease gun off the wall and pulled it apart to put the new tube of grease in. I found the old tube of Alemite grease that he put in well before my time According to my dad, my great grandpa would often just scoop some grease out of a tub and fill the gun that way. I had also done that when I was greasing all the suspension stuff on Frankentruck. This time though, I cleaned up the gun, and it still works perfectly. Actually, it works even better with a tube in it. Gotta love old tools!
