Never made it to the lake when the leaf spring broke and the axle slid back and dropped the fender of my boat down on the tire. At 70 mph the smoke was rolling for sure. With nearly nothing to work with, this is what I did to get the axle moved forward and the fender off the tire. It doesn't look pretty but I made the 3 hour trip back home. Maybe someone can use this idea in their unfortunate future.Attachment 232902Attachment 232903
That stinks mc. Glad your good and made it back safe.
Pretty dang clever!
Thats the way to overcome MacGyver. Glad you made it home safe.
Great job of engineering to get back home. Glad things worked out as well as they did.
Glad you made without a major accident .
Wow....that was some good thinking....glad you made it ok
Not everyone can think outside the box. Glad you figured it out.
Get'er Done!

Here's your sign! Ha ha! Seriously, good thinking! I would have sat on the side of the road and called for help! I might just have to call you if I get into one of those situations. Only thing that would have made it better is if you had some Arkansas Crome (duct tape) holding it together.[emoji12]
I think that was a Mc Giver move instead a Mac Daddy idea. :biggrin Glad everyone is safe.
Glad you are OK.Mr Mac Daddy "macgyver" Thanks for fixing my Tail lights on lake Fork Texas(another story)Me and Bobby have many.LOL
Good engineering."Bet you can drive a Train"engineering joke"
Way to work that out Bobby.
Super ingenuitive!!!!! That is the coolest things I have ever seen! You are truely the man!!!!
At times, a little imaginations goes a long ways. Sounds like it could have been much worse. Are back in business yet?
Not yet, will have to order new springs today, couldn't find any with the correct length in Memphis Saturday. Will be out of commission for a little while looks like.Quote:
