WOW! Welcome. What a first post.:eek: Glad it wasn't a worse outcome. I learned (the hard way also) to (at least try to) always carry my cell phone...

Actually, my "offset" description was backwards. That 8" wheel with a 3" backspace would be 1" positive offset. Regarding those -2 or even -16? Ask the seller. I like it when the "backspace" number is given - no question of the meaning...

I'll try. Backspace and offset are two ways of saying the same measurement. An 8" wide wheel with 4" backspace is the same as saying it has zero offset, because the wheel mounting surface is exactly in the middle. The same 8" wheel with a 3" backspace would be a 1" (negative) offset - the...

I think "finders keepers" applies, unless the owner has his/her traceable name on it or it's a wallet, etc... I once "found" a HF floor jack left in front of my house (when I still lived in town). It wouldn't pick up a bicycle, which is probably the reason it was left. Those welded up China...

The SIL has a Gravely, with some sort of suspension, like the (made by?) Ferris. He loves it, but it was like $10k. Someone makes springed fronts that you can retro fit. I wanted a set but not avail for my JD 5 series.

'morning all. Recovering from detached retina surgery, 5 days out. Doing okay, I guess. Had to keep head down, to let gas bubble keep pressure on the laser repairs. Cleared to drive today, but not going anywhere, may have to mow. 48 degrees this morning, 64 in the house, ran the furnace...

and the inside of shop wall/floor.

Here is a screen shot of the gutter and splashing down by door.

Heavy rackets are like heavy bats, golf clubs, etc. Harder to swing, but send the ball farther... Had another heavy rain this morning. I think I figured out the water getting into the shop, by the door. Heavy rain sends the roof water mostly OVER the gutter, splashing down, to wash in past...

About the only thing I understood of that post was "WIFI", "she shed" and "generator". "Mesh" and "AP"? Nope. :D

My first real job (high school) was at a Firestone store, and we only did a few big truck tires. We used the cage, or maybe stuck it under a car lift. The real scary ones were those on delivery vans/trucks - 19" I think, where the wheel was actually split in half, not with a split ring (22"...

I have those here. When I see one, I reach for the .22. With my bad eye, that's not been an option. I've trapped a bunch with a cona-bear (sp?) trap.

What's the recovery process?

Bad/worse news. I have a partial retinal tear! Good news, it should be fixable and the specialist will see me Tuesday. Yes, cataract sx will come later...

WD40 is not a lube. I'd ask/call PJ themselves.
