[AJD] need pictures of safety wire installations

[Dean VP]

Bill:

I think I've got just exactly the pictures you need if I can only find them.
I took some digital pictures of how the safety wires where set up on the
transmission bolts behind the reduction gear cover on my 1953 JD 50 before I
took the transmission all apart. I'll be doggoned if I can find them right
now. I think they are buried somewhere amongst what seems like 10,000 other
pictures on my system. I haven't looked at them in ages. I sure hope I
didn't delete them.

I have a pretty good multiple level folder and file system set up but now I
just can't find them. Normally these kinds of pictures get put into a sub
folder under a major folder I call "Reference Material" But ... not there.
Not under my 1953 JD 50 pictures either. 

I distinctly recall admiring the quality of work on the twists. @#$%^&* I
suppose it's possible I deleted them. I'll keep looking but I just don't
know what I have done with them.

I would love to sit in on your slide show. I suspect the Mayo Clinic doctors
will get a real kick out of them. After watching a PA sew up my hand earlier
this spring, I suspect just about anything is possible when it comes to
wires. The gal PA just didn't have the skills to do a neat job. I think
butterfly bandages would have been more effective. Really ugly job. But they
haven't had to amputate!

Got a boondoggle maybe someone can give me a quick nudge with.  I need a few
pictures of safety wire installations that are nice and neat, showing good
workmanship.

I want to give some slides of what I admire when tearing down one of my John
Deeres, the workmanship of some mechanic maybe 50 years ago whose work is
still in place and looking real nice.  After a few shots of that I'll put up
a slide of my chest xray, I was wired back together a few years back and you
never saw such a haphazard set of wires, no pattern whatsoever, no
consistency of number of twists, just one really ugly job.  Can't complain
about the results, the past 10 years since these wires were installed are
real high quality of life and I'm looking forward to many more.

The audience will contain a fair number of Mayo Clinic doctors, I'll be able
to have some fun with them.

So anybody got their fingertips on a few images I could use?  I don't want
this bad enough to take my tractors apart just to photograph them, LOL.
