In Reply to: small progress on big swamp buggy posted by WI Dan on December 09, 2023 at 05:30:35:

This is a real rough guess but there is a somewhere
over 50 percent chance that a radiator hose clamp
(two would be better if they will fit) would retain the
bearing on the shaft to drive it 1 mile. That is if the
terrain that you will be driving it on is fairly flat, as in
not going through ruts or road ditches or things of that
sort. You will need a generator and a 4 inch grinder or
a battery powered one to grind down the ..muffed.. up
areas of the threads and the seating area of the outer
bearing. Go slow like 10 mph. You will either need to
replace the damaged parts or have a machine shop
repair it ($$?)
In your first post on this problem you said:
..the knuckle started oozing/dripping out a white-ish
sauce while it was tilted sideways. What's that?..
If you did not figure it out that is the gear lube out of
the front differential mixed with water as VicS is
suggesting.
I believe I see some brand of a V8 engine in that
machine which means it can probably move at a pretty
good speed. If you frequently use this machine as its
name implies..swamp buggy.. as in running it in water
over the axle then the following is a pertinent action.
About every 10 - 15 hours of use I would suggest
jacking up the front end and checking for play in those
bearings and repair as needed. I cannot see for sure
but if there are no seat belts on that thing; really even
if there are I hope you keep your liability insurance
premiums paid up.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
