Grease is for sissies!

[Tom Wesenberg]

We don't need no stinkin' grease!

I'll bet that was making a fair amout of noise and possibly vibration. Rod

One tough U-joint!!!

Tom, James Rogers & I know just about how far one of them will go without grease. (Johnson City, TN to Portsmouth, OH)

It's not the grease

It's demise was from ethanol!

 

[Tom Wesenberg]

Yep, the ethanol washed out the grease.

This was on the 1930 AA I'm still working on. Notice the heat marks on the U-joint. Had to heat it red hot to remove it from the splines.

Looks like there is still some milage in that Tom, why did you change it?

 

[MikeK]

Tom, It's all your fault for using that damn 100% gas. Use E85 and you won't need no stinkin' grease because E85 = less BTU's = less H.P. = less wear. E10 is for sissies. Go E85. Corn mash and ethanol ain't just for whiskey anymore. Grease the politicians, not U-joints.

So, was this a research project? Or, just an accident?

JB Weld might fix it.
