I will later. I didn’t find it in the 3FE/ FJ62 A/C box.

My front pinion bearing is bad, I’m able to move the driveshaft up and down a decent amount, it’s also leaking from the pinion seal. We charged the A/C tonight, the A/C idler pulley is locked up, and when I got home I found that it’s leaking from one of the lines.
And there’s a small exhaust leak that’s driving me nuts. One of my brake lights has gone out twice, so I think the housing may have a bad connection. I grabbed another housing, idler pulley, and A/C lines from the parts stash. We’ll see how much I can resolve tomorrow. Unfortunately I didn’t find a pinion bearing or seal.

Took the 60 on the interstate. 2600 rpm at 70 mph and 3000 rpm at 80 mph.
Just racetractor stuff.

Time for headers!
I bet it feels good at that rpm.

Feels great. It’s very smooth (for a 60)

Picked up an 80 series full float for $200 today. The differential will go into the front of the 60 to cure the bad pinion bearing. Eventually I’ll swap the axle into the back and do tundra brakes in the front. Averaged 15 mpg pulling the M416 at highway speeds.

Yeah, you drive and the trailer follows you, it’s not hard.
then try backin' up with said trailerdang, I should give it a try some time
I'm not bad at backing up the old trailer... definitely something that everybody should know how to do though.
well then, getting one to follow you isn't that tough. just gotta remember the extra 20' behind you

I started stripping down the 80 axle today.
Calipers, rotors, panhard bar, sway bar, LSPV and ABS stuff all came off.
No broken bolts so far.

I really need to do my swap too.
So do i (I don’t have a rear axle)
I’ll have a spare 60 axle you can have soon. Complete.
