FD drive & drive shaft removed



Got almost everything apart. Still need to remove the disk from the "old" Final Drive. Hope to get this done over the weekend. Other parts were ordered and should have them by next week.

Taryn Trip




This is the trip that left me (us) on the side of the road. My daughter Taryn enters middle school this fall and I wanted to have a special time with her, an overnight camping trip. The trip started well and we took off in the late after noon for Lake Louise State Park. The night was great and the time with Taryn was fun talking by the fire. The next morning after breakfast we headed to Burr Oak, IA and the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum. This was also fun since Taryn has read all the books and some extras concerning Laura's life. After leaving the museum we were headed to Lanesboro, MN for some lunch. We never made it. From the map you can see where we broke down. I knew the splines on the drive shaft were a little worn, but not enough to quite working altogether. Taryn said it would be a trip that we would not forget. We made it home w/ a lift from a freind who went to my house and got my trailer. We did get lunch about 4:30 in the afternoon. Hope to get the LT running in the next couple of weeks so I can enjoy the Fall.
