    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.
