I'm sorry, it's simply a figure of speech with roughly the same meaning as suck it up, and is very common in the Midwest. He was explaining the desire to have stuff you can't afford, and i thought it was a fitting use at the time since everyone has that problem always.

That's a responsible attitude. 👍
I wouldn't drink out of the toilets, clearly. It's the same potable water supply for my toilet as my sink, and the same everywhere I go.

For an 18 year old kid I'd say you're doing pretty damn good working with what you have. You are miles ahead of me when I was your age, probably ahead of me when I was 28.

called the shop again, supposed to get my cylinder today or tomorrow
the threads on the gland nut were messed up, and they had to send it off to the machine shop to get fixed, apperently it took their long spanner wrench and 9ft of cheater pipe to un screw it
so, 2 machine shop trips, seals, hourly shop rate
this wont be a $150 rebuild, the pin will probably be $225 or so, and the cylinder I expect to be $5-600 easy, yikes

The gland shouldn’t have had bad threads unless there is a set screw or locking pin they didn’t remove first.

Truck ball hitches often gall the threads when you try to take them off. Over torqued is my guess.
Lol I'm messing with you man, yes I've had to do a few, and helped on other ones. If they didn't use heat to break the locktite it'll rip the threads out. The fact that they had to use roughly 10' of leverage to get it off really makes me think that's what they did.

id think with some heat, up to 600* or so it would loosen up since the barrel would expand so far, and the locktite would melt
the seals are trash anyways, nothing the heat can hurt

I say that hot so the barrel can expand, 400 might do it, but 600 shouldnt hurt it

machine shop still has the cylinder, I called and tried to figure out when itll be done since I was supposed to pick it up today, no answer to that question, however I did round up one of their guys personally who knows my neighbor and he said he will deliver it when its done

Just got the call from the shop to go pick up the cylinder finally, now to finish getting the old pin out.
Edit, just got it, $437
They forgot the pin I handed over to get made when they picked it up from the machine shop, so I can't put both outriggers back together...
