About this balance thing

What you have here is a grown man eating crow.

Come to think of it, wife just bought a brand new washer & dryer (Maytag).

The washer has some kind of a built in fluid balancing ring around the tub. This goofy thing absolutely will not vibrate--ever.

It cost an arm and a leg, but it sure doesn't vibrate!

So, maybe the golf ball thingy is correct.

Chomp, chomp,

The front tire on the passenger side was the culprit, bouncing so wildly that the car just went for the ditch.

The tire was balanced in the shop, but it happened again, so they took the tire off the rim. About a gallon of water came out of the tire. That's 8 pounds suddenly going to one side of the tire.

Sorry, if I have a problem tire, it gets replaced.

As for washing machines, I've got a Swedish made front loader that spins at 1200 rpm and doesn't vibrate. Pretty neat.

Yes indeed! It is the "commerical sized" model. :>)

And on the sadder note: $2000 for a washer and dryer. This 'ol world is a changin' on us, Gents.

next time i go to the tire place maybe they can test the theory on the spin balancer,

Just might have to. :>)

I'll tell ya what is throwin' me for a curve is this vertical terrain. Real estate that drops more than a foot per mile seems pretty darned steep to me.

I'm such a flat-Lander that putting chains on a tractor just doesn't seem normal. But, don't ya know; they are on order. :>)
