[QUOTE="vinito, post: 97057, member: 12954"] OK. I hauled the gearboxes into the shop and took them apart today so I could order bearings, seals & o-rings. They'll be in tomorrow, so that's good. Measured all the axle-to-cotter pin distances and figured out the spacers needed so I can get those made and installed. Over the years stuff has been done I guess and all four were slightly different, so I got that done too and I think I'll put the axles in [I]permanently[/I] tonight. Woohoo! Also measured to figure out the alternator bracket change and didn't figure I'd do much on that today, but I'm almost finished with that too. Less than an hour's work remaining and the alternator ought to be good to go as well. Woot! The chain covers are all patched up and painted, so they are finished too. Yaaay! The wheels are going to be painted red so I thought I'd start prepping them for that tonight and if I get far enough with it, then I'll lay on a first coat of that. For whatever reason I have been avoiding this and I know that doesn't make any sense. But I know it won't take all that long and will be good to have those completed too, if for no other reason that I can install them and roll it around and it will just look cool sitting on tires. So tonight it's axles and wheels. Still lots of small odd & ends - the lost seems to just keep going and going. But I'm trying to check them off. I'm tempted to say it's getting closer, but every time I think that I realize another big chunk o' somethin' else it needs. [/QUOTE]
