OLD timer temporary fixes

[snoplay]

Lost an inner wheel bearing last hunting season, welded itself to the spindle -wrapped a nylon strap around the spindle to match the diameter of the bearing ,greased her up and drove it another 20 miles to get it out of the woods slow goin but made it!! love my Deuce!!

Nylon sounds kinda modern to me.

The old timey fix would have used leather!

 

[Speddmon]

Nylon or leather, that is still a pretty inventive fix.

Doghead didn't have any leather , had a nylon pull strap , leather would probably still be there

Pretty field expedient to me.


and....


Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers known generically as aliphatic polyamides, first produced on February 28, 1935. Older than the M35A2.

Well, a nylon strap that old needed to be cut up anyway!
