Default Re: Leather main bearing

I once used a 16 Penny nail to link the ends of a broken fan belt together, and it got me home that way. The wildest thing I ever saw was a Model A on the interstate with a pair of Visegrips sticking out of the right front wheel. Apparently there was an issue with the nut holding the drum on. I later learned that the nut had to be split to get it off the spindle when a failed wheel bearing welded it in place.
