Hi All , The transmission rebuild has moved to the final drive too . I'll probably have to replace the differential and axle bearings because of the crud that was in the oil . I might take the cheapskate way out for the the axle and bullgear pinion bearings and take them out of a parts tractor instead of buying new ones . I don't know yet till I get everything apart . I have a question about the reverse idler shaft . It has pits in it from rust . It only had minor play in the old bushings but I bought new bushings anyway ( Sticker Shock !! ) . I wasn't surprised at the cost of the bearings but the bushings I was ! The shaft was plugged with crud and I got it cleaned out as good as I can . I'm thinking of soaking it in carb cleaner overnight to be sure it's clean on the inside . I'm not to concerned about the rust pits . I feel that they will just hold that much more oil for lubrication . I was curious as to what everybody else thought about it ? I've shined it up with emery cloth . I still have to check the clearance of the new bushings . Hopefully it'll be snug without needing honing or to loose . One more question about the clutch throw out bearing . This one is tight . So is it OK to wash it off in a parts washer with commercial cleaner ? I'm not sure if it has any rubber seals in it I need to be concerned about . I haven't decided yet whether or not I'm replacing the clutch parts . I don't want to split the tractor to remove the flywheel to turn it and it needs turning if I put in a new disc . It has it's fair share of heat cracks . Thanks to all for any opinions ! ...Randy

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
