Title: Sigh.......
Post by: FishWagon on June 11, 2012, 08:33:56 PM

Well, finally took my Scout on it's maiden voyage to Durhamtown for a shakedown cruise.

Ran in to cooling issues due to cracked radiator, and clutch fan (already ordered new radiator/electric fan/shroud combo)

The big kicker was that I cut open a brand new 40" swamper Irok like a fish.....after messing around with it at home, seems at full left turn and max compression, was enough for it to come in contact with my fender.......sliced it open about a 1/5th of the way around, right down to the core of the tire, past the thread layer. Totally unusable at this point, and is trashed....

Oh well, we still had a great time.....thanks to Wideload for the company.

And yes, I took a cutting wheel to my fenders and got my revenge upon them....

Think about re vulcanizing the tire for a spare Rich.
