MISAPPROPRIATION OF SMR MOTOR GRADER BY PRESIDENT HORSLEY RESULTS IN MECHANICAL FAILURE
February 29, 2024 EDIT: post has been reset from PRIVATE to PUBLIC view today.
Message below was forwarded to me Sunday April 30 that included the first two pictures of the spline yoke drive assembly.
Horsley said: “Hey Scott… Mike Horsley your neighbor with the container/grader… I saw a couple of facebook posts where you were wondering about what was going on with the grader. Randy Skinner and I were trying to nail down some mechanical questions yesterday and the drive yoke broke, as you can see it had a significant crack in it where the weld broke. It rolled back down and into my container and there it landed. I removed the parts.this morning and am having a friend of mine remachine this yoke as they are not that common for an 80’s rig and he will overbuild it for me. I should have it on UPS to Randy or Thomas to reinstall and get it outta my driveway. Maybe we can...
