I have to admit that I hadn’t heard of a set screw called a Grub Screw before. In 24 hours we had 2 lessons on grub screws.
- We took this rough, sandy, 4WD track up a canyon outside Kanab heading to Montezuma’s Cave. Local lore states that Montezuma hid his gold there. We didn’t find the gold and when we got back to the pavement our transmission was stuck in first gear! Bummer! A couple of calls and we learned that we needed to check the grub screw that links the shifter to the transmission. 20 miles later at 10 miles per hour we were back at camp! The next morning and 45 minutes later the grub screw was snug and we were back in business.
- The next morning while taking down the tent a couple of poles had loosened up from the relentless pounding of the wind over the past few weeks. Guess what! The grub screw was missing from one of the tees! A quick trip to the hardware store and the tent was all snug again!
