Just need to go back through and double check torque on everything and then it'll be time to bleed the brakes and go for a test drive.

Yep, it sure is chilly in the northern hemisphere……, cold heavy fog, and no movement in the air…….still I plod on. Removing front leaf spring eye, did one, then thought I’d better do the other even if it wasn’t as bad.

I cut out old bush with a starret hole saw.

It seems you cannot get these eyes from anywhere, so managed to find an agricultural machinery store who makes all bushes/ eye mounts. With a bit more to take off for the rubber bush I machined it to make a snug fit.

Yes nothing better than busting your knuckles on metal when it's cold outside.
 
Nice job. Just did the same. What torque did you use on the 4 cone nuts and 6 outside star nuts?
As per the FSM
I can check later....

Too cold for me to get out to my large, unheated garage. It was -28 this morning or -18F for our non-Celsius friends. I’m hoping for more reasonable temps next weekend, as the cold here has put a damper on my work.

Gotta keep her warm in the winter.
Insulating and adding heat to my shop was a game changer. Hoping to add a mini split system before summer this year.
 
Nearly an inch of snow (a blizzard by South Georgia standards). I knew I should have bought beer earlier today. 😁
