Hi Tom and Bob,

I've been following along and I've found this to be a very interesting and informative thread even though it's something that I'll probably never, ever do.   ;)  Thanks for sharing!

I always thought that too---------then I re geared a Shay

Was that before or after your nervous breakdown?
Working on my second million. I gave up on the first.

Tom,

Did I hear my name?
Nice step by step on quartering Tom, as Bob Parrish said "It is not a Black Art."

Bob,

Yes, you did hear your name. I figured you, Bob Parrish and I were the only ones on the forum and maybe Thom, who have ever re-quartered a driver. Thought it would be interesting to the others. As agreed, "It isn't a Black Art."

See you at the Expo.

I have quartered a lot of drivers when repairing some Engines.  I have even found some that Greg may have worked on as they were "haved"  and some of the cheep stuff isn't even anything.

Jim,

Very sorry my friend, yes, I know you've certainly done your share of driver quartering.

I quartered a driver once on the street. No wait, I meant to say "I cornered a driver once". ;D ;D ;D ;D

Gentlemen, let's all get back to our quarters and rethink all we have said and draw a plan.
I love photo's, don't we all.
