Burning Brush and Changing Dump Truck Tires - Awesome Gift Received!!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n... I’ve mentioned before that for a Fire Chief wannabe you leave a lot of evidence lying around about your pyromaniacal proclivities! Who’d a-thunk that going to a lieutenant captain’s channel would have fed my own addiction to fire so well? And, one can never get too much practice at exercising their futile tire changing efforts... can they? About the wheel... Jr and I have been working on it for a while... both of us had to figure out some new ways to do things.... but, our ulterior motives are devious. We wanna make sure we can navigate that boat out of the forest safely... when we come to stay. Thanks to you and Jr... I get to vacation in Derby some day! (Don’t sweat the broken handles. They’re an easy fix.)

[@barryhansen6854]

Awesome job on the wheel my friend plus Junior, that is going to make a great centre piece once it is mounted well done.

[@martinwyke]

That is really cool, well done, it is a crying shame what UPS did to it.

[@Crewsy]

You did an amazing job on the ship’s wheel. Unfortunately couriers often take fragile packages as a challenge to see how badly they can eff things up. I have an idea how I would fix it just from what Captain Kleeman showed and it would involve some 3/4” oak dowel.

[@fulltiltgrading8366]

William, words can’t describe what a beautiful job you did on that wheel! You are a true craftsman my friend 👍🏻

A wheel dolly really came in handy when removing and reinstalling those big tires on the hubs! It's good to know how to do it manually and you really appreciate the dolly when you see how much easier it is to do the job! I'm appalled that DP missed the differences in those wheels! Glad Captain Kleeman noticed that one detail! I know some people that have used the wrong style of wheels on their trucks and the results were catastrophic!

The wheel is Awesome . I've had a lot of very expensive electronic components shipped and received by air and ground ( with face value insured ). Collected damaged insurance stuff and it didn't improve the handling of shipments . A friend worked for Delta as a baggage handler and I asked him how they handled stuff tagged and he stated they didn't throw the stuff as hard as the regular packages and luggage . Great video sir .

That is a really nice wheel there Captain. With all of this boat talk here I have been trying, for awhile now, to come up with a mildly dirty boat joke to slip in here, but I just don't think that ship is going to happen. the handles are glued in separately from the spokes, may have to make new ones and get their tenon out of the wheel but a fairly easy fix that takes some patience to not mar the surfaces.

The wheels on the C8500 are Hub pilot wheels and only have one lug nut per stud and use a 33mm socket the other wheels are Budd wheels and use 2 lug nuts per set of duals an inner nut which takes a 13/16" square socket and an outer nut for the outside wheel which uses an 1-1/2" socket and if it'sasteer axle uses justa single 1-1/2" nut.
