Sheared the pin bolt for the landing gear tie rod.
Just got to the next spot and was unhooking. Got cleared from the truck and when I started lettin it down I heard a "tink" sound in the front storage. Sure enough just as I thought, sheared the little bolt in the rod that ties the two landing gears together. Note to self..... ALWAYS BRING TOOLBOX!!!
Ok, so I'm digging through the silverware drawer and find a chair leveling bolt foot almost the exact size as the bolt that broke. I got it put in and got everything leveled. First stop in town tomorrow will be the hardware store.....
We are getting to the age of things are starting to wear out or break. I've had to do a few little minor things this year already and I'm sure more to come. We've been pretty lucky with just the few things we've had go wrong.
