Getting involved with cars back in the late 1960's, one of my friends who was notoriously tough on vehicles bought a 1962 Studebaker Lark.He was the type to have 4 or more $100 junkers in a year. That car left him stranded a few times - its nickname was the "Steadybreaker"!!

March 18, 1933, American automaker Studebaker, then heavily in debt, goes into receivership.. Studebaker eventually rebounded from its financial troubles, only to shut down the assembly line and transition out of the automobile business in 1966. The origins of the Studebaker Corporation date back to 1852, when brothers Henry and Clement Studebaker opened a blacksmith shop in South Bend, Indiana (seems we3 have heard of that place). Studebaker eventually became a leading manufacturer of horse-drawn wagons and supplied wagons to the U.S. Army during the Civil War. Around the turn of the century, the company entered America’s burgeoning auto industry, launching an electric car in 1902 and a gas-powered vehicle two years later that was marketed under the name Studebaker-Garford. After partnering with other automakers, Studebaker began selling gas-powered cars under its own name in 1913, while continuing to make wagons until 1920.

The amount of oil on the road and under the truck confirms the case was full. The driveshaft yoke was still in the transfercase output housing, the remnants of the u-joint still in the rear axle. There was some signs of impact on the skid plates up front, but the insurance adjuster denied any claim. We can’t confirm nor deny what happened. I didn’t charge any labor, he’s my bud. I’m proud of his accomplishments, he’s moving into his new first house at the end of the month, and he works hard. Repair components, every vehicular fluid: $3,500 3” lift kit for emotional support and extra tire clearance: $500 ER visit to remove debris from eye rather than wear safety glasses (I tried telling him!): $150 20 pack of safety glasses: $20 Lessons learned, memories made, time in the shop: priceless. Alignment scheduled for Friday morning, then the boy will have his truck back. IMG_2754.mov

Carnage galore, indeed. This back engine plate is the turbo oil drain, rear main seal, and also a coolant passage from left to right side of the engine and through the engine oil cooler. It’s busy. To remove the engine plate, we needed to pull the lower oil pan, drain coolant and oil of course, the left side turbo up pipe, a coolant line and elbow, lots of gaskets and potential leak points. There’s a rear cover installation kit, and we utilized it.

This was a wild one. 2009 Chevy 2500 HD, Duramax/Allison/4x4. What came first? Chicken or egg? Driveshaft or transfercase? Back in November or December, this drivetrain left the chat at interstate speed. Bang! POW! To the moon Alice! The driveshaft was never found, the transfercase blew into three pieces. The impact broke the transmission bellhousing and the rear engine plate as well. There was carnage everywhere! You’d think that state boy would have come to check us out after sitting a couple hours on the side of the road, but it must have been nap time. 😴

You really need to do some research on those Balance gears as soon as possible. 50, 55 years ago when those were first introduced that type of advertising slogan was accurate. Now however, things are worn out. Do a search on the site.

I've used a Tapmatic before they had machine tools that would thread holes. they used to work pretty good actually

Yes! I hear you! Im gonna be taking the tow ball off and the weights. See what ive got there!it seems like i have both axles seals leaking. Yes, I have gone to an old WH dealer, and they said ‘Due to the balance shafts in the motor…it runs very smooth!!’

Nice job on the engine Kpinnc! -
If you can find a nice K181/ 8hp Kohler for your tractor you would be ahead of the game. Teckys are not the best for heavy duty work. Just my May be go to the big show this summer and find one there.

I can only imagine what my phone has heard over these years. Scary!
