Installed rebuilt steering gear from CuiserYard, now truck no longer steers like a tugboat
Finally got all the parts out of the way to begin welding/filling in the messed up key way on the crankshaft. I need to fab up a welding "guard" to slip over the crankshaft to protect as much of the exposed parts as possible. I was very surprised to find that some of the bolts on the timing gears cover were not very tight. A couple of them I could turn by hand. I know that can't be right.
Sherwin Lakes were amongst those I never visited back when I lived there. Then about 40 years ago I tried to drive up there in the fall and it snowed enough to make the road impassable.Drove up to Chinn's Lake to go fishing. Road up rated moderate; narrow, up hill climb with lots of rocks and one or two switchbacks. Not a ton of exposure. I let thedrive up to the lake and she did a great job.
Here's a pano from the small lake (Sherwin?) above Chinn's. No fish caught, but still a great day on the trail with my wife and daughter.

Headed north to the Pigeon River State Forest to do some fishing.
The rivers up there are gorgeous. Fished a couple different sections of the Pigeon. Mostly brown trout.
On the way out, stopped in Vanderbilt and found a bar I hadn’t been in before. Cold beer and 1/2 off during fall rutting season. I’m bringing my elk bugle next time....

That's a good looking truck for MI! I used to fish the upper Manistee a bunch back in 90's and below The upper damn with big streamers when Troutsman and Kelly were in Traverse.

Thanks @houstonfj40
Hoss spent his first 30 years in Colorado and is a recent transplant to Michigan. I’ve got a place just south of M-72 on the upper Manistee and was looking for something different this weekend. So I headed up to the Pigeon. I assume when you say upper dam, you are referring to Hodenpyl dam near Mesick. That place has always been hit or miss for me. Either you land a monster or get completely skunked.
We miss Kelly since his move west to The Slide Inn in Montana, but we did get out w/ the family on a camping trip a few years back and spent 3 days at his place on the Madison River. Gorgeous water.
Here’s a Hodenpyl trout I caught a few years back on one of the productive floats.....

Had this same issue with a 2F I was planning to rebuild repairing it wasn't recommended and was frowned upon. I have a good crank that I got to replace the bad one if your interested.

I sold one of them, my FJ142.
The other, my UZJ100, I finished my LED light bar install, love the switch from Slee! Perfect for a stock look.
Cheers
