Contest
 

Is their a contest around that you can enter for the worst trunion in the world.If so I could possibly win.Any ways I was driving my 129 down to my shed with my grader blade on the back and all at once it lunged and I was riding a wheelie.I got it to stop by pulling the control lever in reverse and drove it back to the house SLOWLY I knew what it was but I was hoping it wasn`t.So I pulled the fender pan and found this

Lost the sprigs and keepers so I will be getting new ones tomorrow.

good thing you stayed on! So is this going to be a fix before winter, or a winter project turning into a restoration? :beerchug:

Sorry to hear that about your cub, but on a better side of it--I'm glad that you, an experienced rider was on it and knew how to control it, instead of someone else who might have gotten hurt!! After you fix that one, it will last for many years and you will move forward with confidence.

Yep i think you won the contest for worst trunion :biggrin2:
I don't think i ever saw one open up like that.
Hope you get it welded up and back in use real soon.

I agree, with Diz.

Thanks Guys I hope to get it fixed by this coming week.Just got in from the garage and I have already got the rearend out and started taking the linkage off.

It is only going to be fixed for right now. Maybe a restoration down the road but I want to finish building my super first.

Yeah I`m glad to because my friend was just over the other day and I was teaching him how to drive it.

Got the trunion all welded up and filed down and while I had the rear out I went ahead and gave it a shot of paint.The springs and keepers should be here by Wednesday.

Nice work on the trunion. :beerchug:
