The first Soirée of the year should be of interest to everyone who owns a Model A and enjoys driving it. Eventually, you might find a gear-lube leak on the lower area of the rear backing plate, This leak can also give the brake area inside a real oil bath. What’s happening here is the rear axle seal is worn out and letting gear lube leak along the axel shaft. Originally, these seals had a leather-type seal that surrounded the axel. After ninety-some years, the leather has gotten worn out, losing its sealing power. If the fluid level gets increased, the leak gets worse.
At this Soirée we will replace the leaky seals. To do this, we will disassemble the rear-end, remove the old seals, and install new seals. Also, it’s important to know where to grease the zerk fittings to help the seals do their job. We’ll discuss a few do’s and don’ts along the way. Hope you find time to join us Saturday morning at my shop at 9AM. The coffee pot will be on – don’t know about donuts. Any questions, please call me at 402-659-1815.

The Board has decided that the April calendar is so full that they are planning on doing the Highway Pickup on Highway 36 on Sunday the 19th. I know that this is going to affect some members as it is Sunday and a day many of us spend a portion of in our church. I will not skip church that day but will be going to an evening service.
I sincerely hope that many of you have the same opportunity! Supporting the State and our commitment is also important, I hope that I will still get at least 12 members to come out and make short work of policing up our 2-mile section of highway36. A little walk in the fresh air will also help us to get over that little extra food we enjoyed over Easter.

As always, we will meet at Cubby’s at 156th and Highway 36 at 10:0 am, and carpool from there to the highway pickup site. There will be a signup sheet at the April meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please call me at 402-333-1393 to sign up.

Thanks
Howard Denker

TROLLS: Save the Humans, an outdoor exhibit by acclaimed artist Thomas Dambo,
at Lauritzen Gardens. Crafted from reclaimed wood and full of wild wisdom, these
six towering trolls are on a mission to help humans rediscover their connection to
nature. Explore the gardens and meet these gentle giants — each with a story and
a whole lot of personality. Plan for 1.5-2 hours of walking around the gardens.
Afterward, we’ll decide if anyone wants to grab a bite to eat in the area.
