    PTO Bearings

    I took my PTO to have it given a thumbs up by the local heavy duty drivetrain place since I had it off. The transmission had bad leaks at the boots/seals and sat for many years like that so inside the pto got really rusty. It still turned what seemed to me just fine but the drivetrain place said...

    Fuel tank full of growth

    I just pulled the tank off my "parts" deuce. Full of growth. I have removed pump, etc and now need to get all of that growth out. What is the best course of action? Is there anything I can put in there and let soak that will dissolve it? It is pretty bad. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
