Anyone want to stop by and help me put this together today. I had to run down the mail woman she failed to deliver it yesterday. She wrote it up as not able to get in the drive at 5:38 PM I used the Bota to lift a car trailer to replace the tires. I had part of the drive blocked BUT the drive splits she knows that she could have went to the right drive no problem. I figured by 5:30 it was not coming today so worked on a trailer. My luck I guess...

I already did the dirty work a 7.3 oil cooler seal job. It was rater EZ with all the steering and drive shaft out of the way.

What kind of jack is a BOTA. Never heard of it? Is ut hydraulic or manual?

Roger Tomfohrde · Mar 23, 2021

self propelled

In that deep and not doing ball joints?

Maybe just the picture angle but the RH upper looks like it is worn or sitting off center.

Runs on rice

They check OK other than the boot on the top right is starting to tear... I asked he said grease'em...

BTW Bota (Kubota)

I did not get as far as I wanted #1 it has two seals for the pinion I picked the one that looked like the original installed it and set the pre-load. Then I noticed they sent another seal with other parts its the correct pinion seal. I am waiting on a new crush sleeve for the pinion.

Now that I have parts I can build the driveshafts, replace the needle bearings in the wheel hubs etc.

Never did enjoy dualies on a twin post. Just did my hub bearings and ball joints on my 2500 Dodge and decided it was getting new front axle u-joints as well. All Moog.

As you can see in the pix everything is OEM Spicer... It has vacuum hubs he's converted it to manual hubs. The last person to go into it made a mess they got the hub/axle shims installed wrong : (... It has 355K on it a farm truck that looks like it gets its share of field mud.

I made a driver to install the seals for the hub I made it 3.400 to fit the vacuum seals if I had it to do over I would have left it at 3.490 then it would have fit the inner pinion race well. It did work there as is tho. The other axle dust seal I used 2-1/2" exhaust pipe. For the inner diff seals I used a bearing race driver set and 1/2" all thread I jacked both in at the same time : )...

your post usually make no sense

This one is a little more tail heavy than I thought. It has a steel flatbed with tool box's on the side and under the flatbed. It has a big air compression and to make matters worst it has floorboards I had to stack my adapters 12"...

After the fact I told him it was a little more than my lift wanted he said he had another like it, it fell off the lift at the dealer... I hope all's well with it now cuzz I don't want to lift it again.
