Day 6 of my wheel week.

When I got there with all my advice. Thanks David Hendley & Lockerbie Mfg.
Co.. The wheel WAS grumbly when we got there, and as per David's advice, we
changed the gear oil. One change and all better. But, we decided to sort of
rinse and refill. Probably a good Idea.

Well, I did have the nice chat with Ziggy, but I had also e-mailed a letter
to A.R.T/Alpine. I got a nice little non helpful letter back, good thing I
had called.
"The Alpine wheel was discontinued a long time ago
and parts are no longer available. We can offer very little technical
information."

Hummm......

As for orton, well I am wondering if I should make more attempts on calling.
I mean what might I get different by calling. Maybe I shall wait and see,
then call if the response is not sufficient.

Still trying to figure out about the Williamsburg clay and this Jerri Levy.

Will keep you posted..
