stevasaurus 22,841 #228 Posted August 11, 2023 Let's see, it is August 11, 2023. I just re-read this whole thread. It brought back a lot of good memories. It still reads well and has a fair amount of humor. I love that we did this thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGrinch 1 #229 Posted August 19, 2023 I just finished one for my friend Tim (VT Tim) thanks to Steve and others info here it was a breeze except for a couple of issues. The pictures of the bearing installation in an early post was wrong and of course I installed the bearings in the wrong places so I ruined them getting them back out with the welder lol. The original early seal style axle tubes are quite a bit longer than the later ones with the outer type axle seal. I replaced his and had to trim them quite a bit, I forget how much. After about 10 beers I got all of the gears in correctly.
