Title: Minneapolis Garage to Replace seals on Miter Box
Post by: Seangie on August 02, 2015, 11:27:40 AM
Anyone know of a garage worthy to replace the miterbox seals on my Eagle?  I have been lazy and just didn't get it done when I should have.  Easy enough to keep it full it just keeps peeing everywhere :)

We will be in Minneapolis around the 12th.  If anyone can get us the name of a garage that might be familiar with eagles that would be great.

Thanks.

C & J Bus Repair in Bloomington, MN.  Call JD at 952-881-0034.  Not the cheapest place around, but they do good work.  If you call tomorrow you could probably get in around the 12th.  Charter buses do tend to get priority as they are his bread and butter.  This reminds me I need to call JD to schedule my yearly checkup.

How long are you going to be in town?  Maybe I could see you bus while you are in Minneapolis?

Oh no...you were spot on.  Ill drink the 6 pack while you do the work!  Ha!

Its no longer a vent...its a dipstick. Seals are gone though.  It was packed with grease before we cleaned it out.  Hindsight should have  done seals all at the sane time.  Now it leaks like a sive.  Ah well....if you need to find me then follow the oil trail.
