Thanks Bomar....wish you were closer to.......I can use all the help I can get. There was a fair amount of drinking going on Saturday night!!

bout to head to the machine shop.
 
I really wish I could come help. ya'll hear of an IT job over that way and I swear I'll move. All them pics ya'll post on FB anyway... I'd be broke after them travels.
 
Well the axle is at the machine shop. I feel pretty good about it. Measured out to 42mm x 1.5. I have ordered a nut to make sure sure it is correct, then he will begin working on it.
 
Talked to the machine shop today and they will be able to get the axle ready sometime Thursday. I wish I had a picture to compare the before and after, but I forgot to take one. The 42mm nut will be in tomorrow.
 
Jrob you are making some serious progress! that's the way to take on a project- all at once!! You got the sickness bad !!
 
Yeah he's got it bad! All you have to do is mention it and it's done before you know it. We just gotta get it back together!

with some help (or a good bit) I'm hoping to get it back on the ground this weekend
