Grandpa's Brother cut the tip of his thumb off. Grandpa said his mother cleaned it up but it was bleeding bad. His mom, he always called her Mother, reach up inside the fireplace and came back with a hand full of black soot. She clasp it over the boys thumb and held it tight for a few minutes. Grandpa said when she took her hand away there was only a tiny drop of blood on his black thumb.

The old folks knew how to take care of emergency with no Dr. , never heard of the egg thing but a great idea.

Good job getting that fixed without using the unobtanium part. Took a little bit to figure out what you needed to make it work but you did it. Excellent!

Haven't seen any bears !! Rattlesnakes and Coyotes Wild horses and Cows and Badgers

Bear Country? Damn I hate bears.

Good story, even without the eggs

Ok, so after contacting 2 junk yards, scanning eBay, weighing my options, and reading the previously shared thread from this forum, I decided to buy the only available type of retainer plate and move forward. Retainer plate part number: 24751-35B10 (branded on part as S2B-35B1-RD) ordered from link below https://www.partzilla.com/product/suzuki/24751-35B10?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17883222394&gbraid=0AAAAADro4HsbmVHHTMFPG7M0M6QiIC6IH&gclid=CjwKCAjwqazPBhALEiwAOuXqdI1Cqfwv6ijcXwLtsuFOGwt4qMvNMgcmUNhCKUZ7o5VCGib2S2fpZhoCbTAQAvD_BwE&titan_sku=24751-35B10 It was delivered and as expected is unfortunately not for a model H. So i will be updating the required parts to make the quad a "not model H" 😄 After some thourough research, diagrams, parts lists, and back and forths, here is what I will be ordering to update the quad to the new retainer so no machining is required: (1x) 22mm ID x 2mm thick steel washer (7/8" ID will work, but couldnt easily find one that is 2mm / .08 inches thick, needed to space sprocket properly) (1x) 21mm ID 2.5mm width O-ring (1x) 71mm ID 2.65mm width O-ring (closest I could find to the required 71.9mm x 2.5mm) (1x) Oil Seal 40mm x 52mm x 8mm (1x) 6206 30mm Bore 62mm OD 16mm thick Bearing Going this route will make it easier to replace parts in the future by eliminating the obsolete Model H parts and also saves a lot of money not buying suzuki branded parts. Just use the info above for sizes. It took my cost from $107 suzuki cost to $37 and I was able to find it all on Amazon. I will also have extra O-rings since they come as a pack. I will update back when i have all the parts in hand 🫡
