Geez Phil that was a close shave with Beauty, I shudder to think of the front wheel falling off at 50 MPH. It got me wondering about those lock washers, are they available new?

Front Axle Keeper Washers
Hi Tony
After that near lose of a wheel because of the lock or key washer failure we had a lengthy thread on MLU on the topic Help Need - Front Axle Keeper Washers which listed who had them at that time. Failure of this keeper is most problematic on the left side of the truck as the normal rotation of the wheel is trying to loosen the left side. Which means I've added removing the nut cover during the spring greasing, brake adjustment scheduled maintenance. Cheers Phil

Also thought I would remind you to send in your entry for Corowa. This goes to others as well if you haven't entered. Only another 28 days to do so.

What a year. The shed hasn't seen me in 6 months.
I damaged my back in early March chopping firewood for the coming winter. At the time I thought it was just a bit sore and didn't think much of it. Saw a local quack a few times who said " I see plenty of farmers like you. You'll be right in a week or so". Went to work a put up with the pain. It got a bit worse, so I stopped working and saw another doctor who put me on some pain relief. Starting seeing a physio too who put me onto an exercise plan (the wrong plan now looking back) and was now off work full time due to constant nerve pain in my legs and lower back. Stopped the physio, increased my meds, had a CT guided injection into the back ( which worked a treat....for two days ) and an MRI and after a long wait saw a specialist in melbourne. To put it simply I was buggered. Prolapsed discs in my back now had me bed ridden and in constant pain. The specialist classed me as a CAT A patient - needing surgery within 30 days but he wanted me in quicker and I was on the table at Royal Melbourne in 7 days. When I woke up in recovery my legs felt normal again. It's been 8 weeks since my surgery, I hope to back at work within the next 3 weeks and the shed now gets visits from me as I sweep and clean 6 months of dust etc. So: ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND STOP IF YOU START GETTING SORE. ALWAYS GET A SECOND DOCTORS OPINION IF YOUR NOT HAPPY WITH THE FIRST. And the Royal Melbourne is a great hospital. So be careful out there people. And I'm still on the hunt for a F15 gearbox to chassis adaptor plate please.
