All registered & legal now. Took it out for an hour on the Farm to Market roads & on the highway some. Went through town. I'm really happy it's 100% in my name now.

Congrats! That's a big [bureaucratic] step!All registered & legal now. Took it out for an hour on the Farm to Market roads & on the highway some. Went through town. I'm really happy it's 100% in my name now.
I'm in the process of finding a place to check the shafts for me.Unfortunately not always. Do not cheap out on this one.
Here is a list of some of the damages:
1. Cracked engine block.
2. Broken alternator bracket
3. Cracked trans bell housing
and the list goes on and on.....
I looked at this, but ended up with the Tiger Tool. Found it used.I'm in the process of finding a place to check the shafts for me.
Looking to remove them myself & I've always gotten beyond frustrated with u-joints. Imagine I'd be even more frustrated with these large ones.
I saw there are tools for doing it. Found this set;

Worth buying?
That is not the more costly Tiger brand. I measured mine and get 4 9/16" and 6 7/8'' on my tiger. So looks like it would work and with Amazon you can send it back. The install tool is not really needed but I have one.I'm in the process of finding a place to check the shafts for me.

OEM Seems to have a lifetime warranty too.The Tiger Tool is probably better but in reality, I need to use it to remove & install one time... then I have it if need be. Figured if for some reason I ever needed to be flat towed, I can pull the shafts off.
Think I am going to go ahead & order the one on the Amazon link since it has both tools & is a fair cost. I don't mind buying the tool to save myself some cursing & tossing tools.
Thanks for the input everyone!
I'm sure you'll have better luck than me since I purchased from an eBay seller.Nice work, great video. I just received my cab latch rebuild kit from Midwest Military Eq. I'm hoping for more favorable results.
In your video, the unknown air fitting under the cab next to the heater/coolant lines is the exhaust for the treadle valve (brake pedal) and the parking brake. This is the best picture I have from months ago.
