Finished up the tranny/transfer case and Carrier Seatbelts

Re-priming the transfer case oil pump

Hi Peter, our State Tournament came to an end on Thursday. Montesano Little League placed 4th in state. The boys hoped for a bid at the Little League World Series but not this year.
Well my son's team, Montesano Little League is at State. We've managed to knock several teams off the bracket. We're down to the last 4 teams of this tournament. Someone will represent Washington State on Saturday. Hoping and praying it'll be Montesano!!!

Project Delay
Sorry no updates guys. My son has been playing on the 11-12 Majors Little League Baseball District Team. We've been at the Washington State Tournament in Bellevue since Saturday.
Just found those shorter straps available on a popular auction site. They're in NOS condition. They're listed by part number.
