Jordan, I loved how easy those bearings were to put together...unlike my '16 explorer rear hub/bearing that is rusted on solid - still can't get that off!
I heard about a guy that never made a mistake and when people found out they hung him up on a cross. We all make mistakes and how we handle them makes us the people we are. Doing a nice job young man. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
Can't wait for the John Deere repairs. I am betting that it was water in the gear oil that froze and prevented movement. That happens a lot to forklifts that sits outside in the colder climates.
Loved the flipped axle at the start, never (or maybe never) happens to me. I sympathize with you on spring arriving and the outdoor projects looming in importance. btw, was that 'ball' for the front axle made of bronze?? the color of it sure made it appear that way.
@@HumbleAcres yes, extremely interesting, and the bronze ball being softer than the two axle halves would become the 'wear' item and be easily replaced if needed. It seems like a great way to go vs. u-joints like in my 75 F250, but I guess if it didn't have disadvantages, it would still be in use.
Get some safety wire players, they twist the wire in double strands. There is a correct way to do that. A single stand is not correct. Just saying safety first right retired USAF, and I do love the old fj's.
Jordon, I sent you a manual which is suppose to arrive on 25 April. Give me note so I can talk to you. You should have my E-mail address. I know you have gotten the I&T manual I sent you a while back. Tom.
