Just another Manic Monday

Had a super busy weekend at the wash. Then, today, 3 cars into the day, a drive wheel came apart on the IBA. My friend Scott(pictured) and I yanked the wheel off and drilled it out so we could bolt the nylon outer wheel to the cast iron hub. The nylon had come all the way off the hub!

going down now to test!!!

Update:

Ordered a spare wheel and got it today. Guess what??? The new, modified wheel utilizes the same fix my friend Scott devised for the wheel in the picture(fastening the outer nylon to inner cast iron using hardware).

Scott's a great example of an excellent, helpful employee!

Thats great! Sometimes you just have to reinvent to get by when you don't have the RIGHT parts. I've had to couple together several hoses to get the right length before.

I'm looking into my crystal ball right now and seeing many more interesting, in-the-moment fixes for my car wash in my future!
