I like watching them also Johnboy.
I finally met the young lady in the old video, riding the blue max 2 and using a stick to row. I was wondering what happened to some of the folks from the old videos I had not met in our last few meetings.
Hope in the fall we can see everyone there.

Are the lug nuts loose? Are the studs or wheels damaged?

I had something similar happen to my Max IV. In my case, I could get the nuts off but the studs were just a little too big for the holes in the wheel, causing me not to be able to get them off. I knocked the tire, kicked them, hit them with a sledge hammer, etc. and they wouldn't budge. I finally had to use a grinder to grind the studs off so I could get the wheels off. It was not fun. Good luck.
It's for those reasons that I use acorn style lug nuts. I saturate the studs before I put the acorns on, then put some lube inside the acorns then install. Since I switched to this technique a few years back, have not had these problems anymore.
Swamps are a very corrosive environment and everything we can do to put off the rust and make the parts last longer, the machines will go that much more.
Good idea. I always use anti seize and never had a problem but I like the acorn nut idea.
What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.
Ralph, is that what was making the noise you heard at Busco?
