Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Mostly, I'm a peon in a small pond that just got absorbed by a large lake. If i get drug down to dallas, it will be on my own, lol. I try to lay low, do my job, and let the shots pass over my head.

But, have thought of visiting TX on one of my AR trips, but never managed, except by flying thru dallas once.

Has anyone here ever used an inner tube instead of replacing the 20X10.0-8 rear tires on a rider mower?

Yes, I got too close to my storage building and the metal on that building cut into a rear tire on the mower, just enough to make a small, slow leak and I was surprised when Brisco Alignment & Tire in Denton had the right tube to fit it.

Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 5:45AM. Abundant sunshine. High near 90F. Winds light and variable.

89F for a high yesterday. Sheesh, what happened to spring?

Still chasing van vibrations.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

There's a Beach boys song in there, except they aren't Good Vibrations......

Were you able to look into the drive shaft dampers?

I removed the drive shaft, went for a drive, and the vibrations remained.

Yesterday I swapped wheels front with back, still vibrates.

Checked runout on the wheels, +- 0.020", which seems good to me.

Pulled back the boots on the CV joints, and learned that the make/model of the inner CVs is for some reason different than those on the outside, but from what I've been able to read, it shouldn't matter. I'll probably end up replacing them anyway, just to eliminate that as a possible cause.

I have them on my older 20X10.0-8 tires. Have not had a flat since installing. I bought inner tubes for the new tires just in case they are needed. Need to make sure you get tubes with valve stem in correct position.

Bird.
Prayers for your daughter.

Good morning all,

A little late posting but it was 48 this morning and mostly clear skies. Now that it is warmer my wife and I have started walking every morning. Got to get rid of some of the ice cream winter fat I've been storing up. :laughing:

Thanks to everyone for the prayers for my daughter.

Yours is FWD primary/AWD? Check the flexplate and torque converter for missing weights or loose fasteners. Output and input shaft on transmission and transfer case for true.
Does the vibration seem road speed or engine speed related?
