Replaced the seals and got a new to me parking brake drum, both from Mark's Off Road, which solved the leak right quick. Dumped and replaced the rear gear oil, replaced the drain / fill plugs with hex head versions. Had to grind out the drain plug a little, and the oil that came out was, uh, lumpy. No terrible swarf on the magnet, but it was definitely time to replace.
Having some issues with fuel lines - the short line between the filter and pump was just slightly damp, and filling it up with about 10 gallons (most so far) resulted in discovering a leaky vent hose. The short line looked at first like an oil leak or something, but there's nothing around leaking on to the line. I pulled it and swapped it out with a new rubber line that was included in the parts stack from the PO. I am still running the fabric covered line though from the tank, which will get replaced with new parts from Mark. I swapped out the leaky vent hose with some 3/8" ID hose that I had in stock, so that's solved.
Also got my hands on a very small (3.5' x 4') Con-Ferr roof rack. I'm not sure if I like it, but I want to get some gutter mounts and see how it looks up there. It may just end up looking silly, but with a camping trip coming up in June, I'd like to have some extra space just in case.
