Broken Steering Box on the Adams Grader, It Never Ends July 03 2024

today was to be a relaxing day since i over did it as an old guy yesterday. but in the end, i worked late because i just had to know what and why the steering box did not work on the Adams 550 grader known as Gomez. also i had to work steady for when the staff arrive to mount the blade and circle back on to make it an official grader once again. the M816 military rotor wrecker is handy for lifting all these parts back on the grader. thansk

That is all that matters Joey. We all are just surviving with this inflation and price increases on everything.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes getting to expensive to even live any more thansk

[@kevingilbert9695]

That grader will work better than it did when it was new. Awesome team work folks🤘and good job from Sir Rodney.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, improves always make things better,,,,, i hope, lol thansk

[@MatthewTomczyk-rk2cj]

KoO, I commend you on how quickly you got Gomez back together and in repair mode along with staff helping reassembly of those massive metal parts. You are the King!

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, i had to retire to put this grader back together plus the do other projects in the Kingdom too. old school all the way. thansk

[@andydubois8411]

I like the way you're taking palettes full of rusty old bits of junk and making an 80 yr old grader out of them.😎

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes plus it keep my memory sharp trying to remember where it all came for too, lol thansk

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ I don't blame you for going on a rant about the way Xena has been treated. From my observation she's a very intelligent capable lovely woman, she helps you with all kinds of craziness in the Kingdom, I'm sure she can handle anything 👍 yeah it seems the more you do the more you get s*** on. I'm glad that everything is falling into place reassembling Gomez, hopefully you can straighten out that steering box. Yes Sir Rodney had a good hair day but his voice sounded funny 😂 keep up the great work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes the new world is not a happy place where people who work hard are punished, oh well. i was not planning on the grader this summer but i had the parts and lots of time so i began working on it. hopefully Sir Rodney can buy a mic that last more then 4 times of usage. unreal how they sell junk these days. thansk

Dear KoO, sounds like the staffs predicament at her place of is the same as here in the US. You take a business that your grandparents and then your parents worked their ass off to provide a better life for you and you sell it as soon as you can to a large investment group. After all, there's no time to run a business between the country club and the luxury yacht! Then the group brings in all new executive board filled with all their cronies who immediately hire a "hatchet man" who fired everyone who knows what they're doing and take a big bonus because all the increase in profits! Then two years later, at the bankruptcy hearing, they slip into the night with their "golden parachute package" and look for another opportunity to die the same!😢 Sound about right?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes that is the new world where the big bosses enjoy the good life and the working people suffer. in my eyes it costs more in the end. thansk

all they corporate office seen was the steady hours and they can;t have that, lol thansk

This is still my favorite youtube channel and will be for a very long time. It’s very interesting to watch a pro work on old stuff in frugal / intelligent ways. We got a bonus of 2 straight days of the staff in the videos. It’s great to put a face with that beautiful voice ! ! You guys are great. Thank you for what you do!

[@patbotterill7353]

Hey Joey I have a little grader terminology for you . The mount for the wing on the back is called a stinger. The lift arm connects the table it the blade lift mechanism. My dad ran a 440 adams for the dept of highways in B.C. for many years. Hope this helps. Always enjoy your videos.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, the 440 must have been a popular model back then. thansk

I’m watching this on July 4th! USA Independence Day. And it’s hot here in E TN, 96F later today. Great work on the antique grader. I wonder how many like it went to scrap yards and were cut up.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes happy 4th of july. enjoy the heat as we relax up here on the usa holiday. everything that had big gears and no operator comfort basically went for scrap. now with the computers and drama, people wish to have the old ways back thansk
