Axle in my 86 3/4
« on: January 19, 2010, 06:22:57 am »
Well I plowed the whole storm yesterday. Even got my own yard done. Then I came home from filling the tanks, and getting milk etc. Used 4x to drive up my driveway, and completely destroyed the right axle, and stub shaft!! Had heard a different noise on the way to get gas, was going to check it out when I got home.  ::)
Good thing I have spares.

It was fixed in about an hour last night. Another small storm again, plowed today no issues. I put that axle joint in 3-10-03 and a brand new stub shaft. I paint marker the date right on allot of parts when installing them. Truck has been sitting the last 5 years though except to move it around the yard, and a couple trips to and from the shop.
