Chrysler mini van rear axle with springs and wheels cut from a body stripped of engine lifted by the crusher was $20.00 and a beer. Scrap metal is less than $100.00/ton dirty now, need to wait for Chinese new year month long celebration for the scrap price to go up when Mainland china starts up assembly lines and foundries. Salvage axles and welding work- shop is getting return on welder, labor shop space. If you have the space, welder, time then you can save some money by getting axle, wheels, ect. from salvage yard. A possible back truck axle- find a heavy 1 ton 'floating' rear with 8 bolt hubs and a removable center axle with outside drive flange. Pull axles and use simple flat stock plate to keep in lube, ring and pinion won't be turning or gut completely, use the exterior bearing of rear wheel hub. Parking brake shoes with cable can be pulled or used with a lever and cable at tongue end for parking brake. Boat yards may have a $99.00 surge brake coupler with master cylinder- then you can have back brakes and a parking brake. Onset of cabin fever now means many little projects get done in northern states farms- shop available, main equipment breakdowns done, some income tax money available, wife says get out of house for awhile--- so make up something useful or even silly.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
