Fixed the defroster (there wasn't any duct hose installed), Installed the winter front. Shoveled a couple feet of snow out of the back. I should have left that in there, the weight made it ride better!
Ha, ha, I'm old enough I forgot it was a video game first. I was thinking of the bad movies with Mila Jovovich.:drool: One of the movies even had a Deuce in it!
That box looks like surgical quality. That's way cool. I keep thinking of getting "Umbrella Corporation" magnetic stickers or something. A lot of people totally wouldn't get it, something different than the standard "Zombie Outbreak" stuff.
Replaced a pinion seal on the front axle. Luckily it was the one on the front of the axle that doesn't drive anything, so it wasn't a bad job. The 3/4 Harbor Freight impact spun the nut right off. I couldn't believe it, I was able to just pull on the flange and it came right out, didn't need...
Installed the driver side boot a THIRD time. I put the old inner clamp back on. Here's a pic of the old one and the New-Trash one.
On the bright side, I can remove and reinstall the boot in about 15 minutes now.:roll:
Yup, Newstar junk. I should have reused the old one. If it pops off again it's going in the trash. I did put it right on top at 12 o'clock. Luckily the outer part held its shape and stayed on the outer lip. It was much easier to put back on the second time. I added a lock nut on the bolt too.
Yeah, I guess "bad day" is all relative. Hope you're up and running soon.
So I drove an hour to Wal-Mart and bought lots of oil and Anti-freeze. Funny note, they had Rotella in 1 gallon and 2.5 gallon jugs. When I figured out the cost per gallon the 1 gallon jugs were about $.25 a gallon...
auaNot a good day today.
The zipper boot install was a bear. I used the clamp method and still had plenty trouble. I had a tough time even getting the inner clamp on. And the new clamps I got are JUNK. They got all twisted out of alignment very easy. One of the darn screws broke...
Just got my zipper boots today from Erik's. I was able to get the old ones off and everything cleaned up decent before it got too dark. I'll finish it up tomorrow. I went ahead and bought new clamps too. I did have to cut the old bolts to get them apart. The old ones were non-zippered...

Towards the bottom. That's what I paid at the local dealer.
Wish I would have had an air or electric grease gun. Wow, my hands are sore after emptying 6 tubes of it! I took the nipple end off the grease gun. Pumped the first tube...
Checked the winch and found one side totally empty, no lube in there at all. The other side just barely had any in it. Decided to do the John Deere Corn Head grease thing. Put 3 tubes in each side. Pulled the cable out and spooled it back in a few times. Seems to work just fine. No weird...
Wow, great set-up you have there! I would love to have a shop like that. I love my little Kubota B2320, but it sure wouldn't move something like that around!:shock:
