    Default Donations for Jug Hole cart ???

    Once again I find myself in a position to accept donations for the cart at Jug Hole. One of the front wheels was recently replaced by Forrest Wilson due to the bearings going bad. Upon close inspection of the old hub, I found insignificant evidence of grease. This will cause premature failure of those cheap wheel barrow type of bearings.

    I have sourced and ordered ball bearings that are much better and will help to solve future problems. the new ones are permanently lubricated and sealed. The new ones have a load rating of 1300 each (10,400 pounds for the total cart) which is way beyond what anyone can load or pull on the cart. The original bearings were rated at 175 pound load rating.

    And like last time, any extra funds will be given to the NFSA. You can PM me for my PayPal info or other options of payment.

    I don't know what a jug hole is, but I'll be happy to help!

    Put in your paypal info using words like "at" and "dot", and it won't be harvested. Like d dot six at yahoo dot com.

    Jax, Jug Hole is a sidemount cave that requires a long walk in order to get to. The cart is how people carry their equipment. I haven't dived there yet but I did take a walk to the spring and it would be hell to hand carry all your equipment down there.

    Sorry, Tracy, I was kidding . . . . I've not been there, but read enough about its famous cart.
