It's that time, spring planting is coming fast and our machinery needs to be serviced and prepped to handle the thousands of acres they will cover. AWAKE THE BUDS!

It was an up armored one too so it was really heavy and if you've every driven one off road, you kinda know the lag in acceleration that is ever present lol.

    With the brake drums you can use a die grinder to take the lip off the edge, then use a sanding drum (like 30 or 60 grit, or something fairly aggressive) on a drill or die grinder just to take the shine off the braking surface (give it like a cross pattern) to allow for better brake shoe bedding in.

    It is SOOO good to see LegArms back working. Maybe not at 100% but still good to see. Praying for a wonderful 2021 season for you guys. Be safe and have fun!
