McGyver Strikes Again...

Our own private McGyver, Claud Flinton, struck again today. While putting some brake fluid in the truck I took a look at our air filter and it was totally shot and more than that the molded plastic piece that holds it in place was broken, evidently in the accident. For whatever reason our "crack" mechanic didn't see the need to replace a filter that was totally clogged and not held in place correctly.

No worries, McGyver to the rescue....Claud used his knife to bore some holes in the broken molded part, found a piece of wire, and wired the piece back together again stronger than it was originally. After that it was just a matter of finding a replacement filter, which was no walk in the park, and then drop it in. Needless to say the fit was perfect! And oh yeah, Claud also put new brake shoes on the one of the rear wheels so now we feel much safer.
