Hillbilly rebuild

[USER1999]

As a lot on here (any one who has played with me, or posted a 'what trolley should I buy' thread) know, I have a Hillbilly terrain, which has always been a pile of junk. It is noisy (very) and sheds screws as it goes along (possibly due to the vibrations from the motor loosening every thing).

I drilled out all the rivets holding the tubes together a couple of weeks ago, and replaced them all with bigger ones as they kept snapping.

I finally got fed up with the noise on Sunday, and stripped the motor down to it's component parts. It is one of the bearing races that I think is causing the problem (doesn't run smoothly at all), so I have a new set on order. There was also a wavey washer, which was in about 10 bits. This I'm not replacing, as the only one I can find on the interweb is about £9. For a washer. Heck, it isn't that important.

Only problem is, I have now done my back and neck. I am playing on Thursday night, Friday afternoon, Saturday late morning, Sunday afternoon, and all day Monday.

Hope the bearings turn up quickly.....

Also hope it sorts the noise problem, or I'm not sure where I go next, except to the scrappy.

Now, you see, if you'd bought a Gokart, they would have collected it from you, dropped off a spare one to use whilst your own one was away for repair and then delivered it back to you once it was sorted.

There's only one answer Chris, take it, tubes and all, down the tip.

Then phone the lovely Sandy at Gokart and order a proper trolley.

You know it makes sense!!!!

See you on Monday, with a shiney new................

Golfmmad.

Buy a new one you tight wad!!!!!

 

[USER1999]

Nope, refuse. I'm going to fix this or die trying.

Bet it's noisier than ever come the weekend. It'll probably catch fire too.

 

[G1BB0]

and you a designer too! some engineer sweated quarts of real ale to put that crinkle washer in - and you casually cast it aside.

anyway if you go here, you can replace that precision part for the proverbial packet of peanuts . .

If it all goes tits up - can I have the bits for spares just in case mine goes wrong. Touch wood 3 years and no issues so I hopefully won't need your scrap.
