Broke the other shaft on Saturdayafter the v-crack on same trail before the waterfall. Shifter linkages were out of adjustment. Trans was reading 2nd gear (would not go down to 1st), so I figured no power in 2nd gear start. Was not paying attention that I was just off the right line and rear driver was wedged under a rock, instead of ontop of small rock 8" to left. Outsmarted the trans and put it into 3rd(trans starts in 1st) hit gas and loaded up the tranny. Boom!!!
2 rear shafts in 3 days. not good....

Thanks for offering Joel.
I got her out of there this past weekend. Pretty uneventful, other than taking the wrong line down the waterfall. Just had to back her up and stack a couple of rocks in the hole, that caused me to lawn dart into the rock infront of the hole. All is well, and I am getting pretty good at these semifloater repairs. that make a total of three rear shafts( 1 right and 2 left). Luckily the Aussie held up. The driver side that broke this last time had a spiral break that traveled about an inch into the side gear clutch of the Aussie Locker. It did not stretch or at least did not look like it.
