Thread: Use for rear hub bracket

  1. #1

    Default Use for rear hub bracket

    This evening I figured out what the rear hub bracket is for, they work great for ripping the track that the shop door slides on out of the shop.

    Yup. Page 71 in the manual, man.

    You need to read up on that thing....

    I guess I skipped that part, learned the hard way. That seems to be the only way I learn anything.

    Besides the obligatory shin bruises we all get, I managed to be backing up a long driveway in the dark years back...this was in a house where I worked at the time...my boss was parked in the rear of the long, barely 2 lane drive...she had a Geo Metro.

    The rear hub on the passenger side caught her drivers door and made a nice dent down the door. It actually moved her car sideways about 2 inches. The M715 slowed a little in reverse but didnt stop, then I looked in the passenger mirror and saw what was going on...

    Amazing..

    I am having visions of sort of "can-openering" the side of a Geo now....

    They are great for ripping the trim off your garage door though, as I found out the day after I brought my 715 home

    Yea, it ripped right thru the track but stopped abruptly when it hit the c-perlin door frame, putting a nice dent in that.

    It grooved the door from just under the mirror about 2/3 of the way to the rear of the door.

    I ended up buying here a new door...and a mirror...the fender took that off.

    They make great anchors while wheeling, plant those babies into the side of a big rock and you aren't going anywhere!
