In my defense my first pics were from inside tractor before she got in pond. That’s my greatest risk. I think I did ok with her in pond.

Top secret cause if Kim finds out I sent pic I’m a dead man! Swapped out new battery in big tractor (quite the the task) and I’m off to hook up to bat wing. Hauled old battery to town during chores with Clyde as we always do. Had to pick up...

Little outside of my area and I need someone with some 62 knowledge to inspect a potential purchase.

Late to the game but I learned not to deal with him. Lots of better resources like Kurt at cruiser tech and city racer. I am happy he is not on mud for the moment. I feel like he would shark onto my build thread occasionally to try and sell me...

The winch is an early Belleveiw Warn Winch. Pretty rad. It is has a broken brake lever arm, otherwise it seems complete. I cleaned up the in cab controls. I will replace all the wiring and see if she fires up. If she pulls hard then I will spring...

Those are gone as well as the aux fuel tank. The big one I need to move is the engine. It's taking up too much space. Thanks

I’m sure unlikely you will split it up but I need few more of these for my pig rack. Little far away to buy the entire top.

I didn't see the part @cruiseroutfit was on it only the part you were looking for help and thought I'd take a min to see what I could find since you always jump in and try to help others with part look-up. Kurt and the boys always get it right...

well we made it to Oregon. I had one incident on the way over, Mt lock washer failed on my driver side hub bearing and it began to loosen. Noticed a brake squeak while turning right. Pulled over, pulled off the hub, reset the nut and modified...

Do you think Alcan in GJ may be able assist with the spring clip liners? Not sure if there are specifics to the OME brand. I had good dealings with them on or 69.

Absolutely. Your current 1971 FJ55 diff flanges are 10 spline, 10mm ID Bolt Hole - 64mm x 56mm pattern The 1976 driveshafts are 11mm ID Bolt Hole - 68.5mm x 60mm pattern So to swap, you would buy 2 each of the following...

Got in it chocked it, turnt da key and Whammo 🐖💨 she started 💩 fuel and all. And grant it she sitting since February 😲😳😮🤔😘🐖👈

It's called a Wafflehead 🧐🤔😘. Rivets when upset should be 1 and 1/2 the diameter of the rivet 🤔🧐😉😏

Whatever they used as an anvil had those teeth to help keep it from dancing around while they peen the head.. Drill it out and do what you want.. If you get in a bind send it to me and I will put it back together for you..

I don’t remember a damn bit of this from my stick welding in Ag class as a senior. Think i got screwed!!!

Is it too late to enroll in summer school welding and metallurgy classes so I can try to understand what the heck people are talking about? :) I should register for the 2 week BobM intensive course in NH...

Agree on the old warn winch. I have controls for it from my 69 which are in decent condition. If I can find them i am happy to share them with you, if you want them?

Feeling slightly stunned. The funeral director’s husband and son delivered the ashes in person. We had them in for coffee. Delightful and caring people. Let the healing begin! Cheers, brothers. 🍻

Here's some currents

Keep the tin for sure 👍🏻

Holy moly, really enjoyed Eagle Nest and Angel Fire area. Beautiful area without the crowds we had when we lived in CO. I mean zero crowds, crazy considering the area. Rented Can Am and drove around mountains for half day with the wife and dog...

HOA pig exemption? Once there day or two, I’m sure all the guys in neighborhood would have your back! Oh, the cool women would to.

You know at some point they all will have block us two and it will just be you and me telling each other the same jokes and laughing our butts off everyday.

A friend who I’ve done some 100 series wheeling with owns Valley Tech Fabrication in Kansas. He has driven my pig and said he could make some original stock looking rear bumpers for the FJ55 but a lot more robust and not with the lame end caps...
