The Power of a Button!

Some of you might have noticed last night that the website was down. My Bad! You see, I read an article yesterday about a rash of attacks on WordPress installations (eWillys runs on WordPress). To prevent attacks it was recommended that sites get updated to the latest version. Knowing I needed to update the site anyway, I gathered all my technical ability and pushed the magic “update” button.

It took all of ten seconds before the system went down.

So, let’s sum this up. I was updating the site to reduce the chances it would be taken down during an attack only to take down the site myself. Yep, that pretty much tells it all.

The nut of it is that the McDonash Brothers saved my beans once again and got it running late on Friday night. So, just a few updates today. On Sunday I will share with you the Free Lock Hub brochure, all eight pages of it!

This rare Warn Hub Selective Drive owner’s manual was saved for decades by Merton Day. His Grandson, Frank Day, generously sold this along with some last-of-a-kind Free Lock hub information to me.

This owner’s manual is one long, two-sided brochure measuring 20 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ that folds up into a 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″ square (the top is to the far right of the first image below). Here is the original version. This could be called the front:

Warn-hub-manual-lores2

And the back.

Warn-hub-manual-lores1
