Welcome from OKC. Good group of folks here with a range of knowledge about your Talon. And I'm sure your experience with a wrench will only add to the brain pool.

BTW - My father grew up in Aztec. His father (Fred Lawson) homesteaded there and was the Justice of the Peace for many years.

Oh how cool. What a small world. My family has been in the Aztec area for over 50 years.

If you visit the Pioneer Village museum in Aztec, you can see the little JOP office that sat in my grandfather's yard for many, many years. I have fond memories of sitting on his lap at his desk in that old shack, listening to stories about this that and the other. He was also a rock hound and kept mining leases open on several government properties up around Ouray and Silverton. When I was a young kid, back in the early 60's, we used to travel up to the old mines (none of which were producing) and dig out a bit of rock to present to the assay office in order to show enough activity to keep the lease open. Great memories of camping out in the old miner's cabin, stoking the pot bellied stove. My dad and uncles drove pickups and station wagons up those *jeep* trails that people wrangle today, all with us kids bouncing around in the back . 😁

Still have a deep-seated love for the San Juans.

How cool. We enjoy doing the trails up in the San Juan’s. Spend a lot of time in Silverton and Ouray. When I was in high school i took welding and actually built some of that wrought iron fence around that pioneer museum.
