I ran across this front axle.
This is kind of scary, I just can think how things could have gone wrong.
bailing wire, talk about a field fix.

Bailing wire is the JB weld of the 1920’s and 30’s

I bet that car had a death wobble shimmy!

A temporary although questionable fix to get you where you're going. On the other hand, it was probably put on there before you were born and it's still there

Dang It! Where did you get that picture of me!!!

The wire is probably all rusted up together tight, so ......... technically it is a rusted on nut.
I also think he, ......... "nailed it" ........ right as a good repair.

Hay seed repair, but at least the cotter pin is in place even if it's a nail!

I saw that and just had to post it.
Just when you think you have seen it all, then the Model T still surprises.

Remember, there is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix that works!
