Believe it or not, there are about half as many walnuts now as there were in 1977 when my parents sold it. The owners burned the trees as firewood. (Yes, they burned tall, straight walnut trees as firewood. )

Thanks for the bearing offer. I checked on Berry and they are part of Motion Industries. I have the local Motion Industries office trying to track one down for me. Some frigging genius at Troy-Bilt decided that machining one end of the 1" shaft and making the bearing have a non-standard 13/16" ID was a good idea. If Motion Industries strikes out, I'm gonna ask my cousin to make a bushing on his lathe. 1" ID bearings are cheap and easy to find. The REALLY stupid part is that the bearing mounts are standard mounts for 1" ID bearings. WTF were they thinking!?!

Hmm...need to find offroad park maybe next time...my gas tank skid still has to recover with a few well placed (sledge ) hammer blows .

My original photo service doesn't seem to be working so here is an attempt with webshots:

It says it should work until Sept 15, but I'm not sure if that is only in an email?
