12.2.2022

Jim got the first coat of paint on the top of the car dollies today - he actually went back and put another coat on later in the day... 


Then it was back to Bobcat work - after all that time of getting the bushings out, time to put the new ones in!  Jim kept the metal bushings in the freezer overnight so that they would slightly shrink and make installing them easier.  Thankfully, he has the special tool to help press in the bushing - it worked great!  This side is all done, complete with new seal...


Bushing installed in the other side too...


Using the tool to install the seal as well...


Then hammering it into place...


Perfection!


Cleaning up the joints before reinstalling...


The Bob-tach is in place!


Everything is put back together - what an immense relief!  Jim definitely persevered through this project and we're so happy he was able to do it himself without having to go to Bobcat for any of the work.
