Joe - cows can be quite entertaining. Grew up with them, bottle fed a few. Some were sure good at the dinner table. I used to feed ours as a kid and was the only one in the family could pet them. Won't suprise you but I remember my Mother busting my butt for eating the oats/molasses feed mix along with the cows.

On another note, got new shoes put on the bus yesterday. Also had the tire shop mount my new looking take-offs on 22.5 Pete wheels. That was 8. David Thomas gave me the one take-off he had saved. 9 - I need one more 315 take-off to complete the set for the Pete. In all your travels and connections if you come across one with great tread (as most coach take-offs have) if you would grab it I'd certainly pay for it.

I'm getting a set but I'm going to buy a brand new set for the steer axle on my pete. I'll be able to bring the nose down a tic currently 24.5 steer and lower the pressure in the steers too. I'll keep my eyes open. I need a pair of 22.5 pete Alcoa stud piloted

Joe just to clarify - you said 22.5 Pete Alcoas STUD PILOTED? I thought your Pete was hub pilot not Budd.

OK. I don’t know what’s involved in changing over, but you are welcome to my 24.5’s hub pilot. Won’t help you with changing to 22.5 on steer, but this has 4 Pete Alcoa drives (inners are steel) and the 2 steers. All in good shape. I’ll keep a lookout for you some 22.5’s.

That's what I would like to be doing, but we're still here at the house. I did wash the bus after you MADE me go test drive it with you in the misting rain! Thanks again for all the work.

I'm not interested in updating anything on my chassis that isint true to its vintage. No led no hub pilot nothing it's a 90 and it will represent that. Fuel is a much better allocation of funds not spending money for stuff for a vehicle that sits in a garage. It's old and dirty and it does everything it is asked to do, just like me.
