Thanks Guys!

These should help cut down on maintenance time!! They work really well distributing the grease around the entire shaft.

After a few days of 90 deg weather here in IA i am ready for snow... :needsnow: (or at least fall)

Eric,

Want to slow down the progress a little bit? Making the rest of us, well, OK, ME, look bad with you being ready for the snow to fly! Just kidding, (sort of), but its great to see another LF ready for winter. Hope you and your machine join the Challenge this year!

Joe,

I still have three other sleds that need some attention....

So getting the LF off the list is a step in the right direction. If there is snow Ill be at the challenge!
