Manual or power brakes? Maybe a lawn mower engine for moving around? Nice job.

Grenaded first gear in my Muncie trans in my '66 Chevy II SS - was 3 hrs from home at 4:30 in the evening -had car flat decked it to my parents place 1.5 hrs back towards home (Thanks CAA) - my wife drove her car towards home to meet a friend of mine who went to my place and grabbed my extra M-21 so she wouldn't have as long of a turnaround - had trans out and ready for shifter switch over when she arrived at my parents place- she left for back to our other friends cottage (where we were) and I was having a beer with them at the cottage by 11:15 ready for the show the next day....and ended up getting best of show
I've been building a rotisserie. Its been a while since I actually worked in the shop designing
Lots of fun. I think I should be able to use it on locomotive restorations. You know what comes next. We'll try again thiswinter.maby I will actually work on a car.
I did license my 71 acadian. And the 70 Camaro I bought in manifobia. No issues.

I was out in my 18 ft center console today, a little test and tune. Hit 40 MPH on GPS with a 130 Honda outboard. I bought the boat in September, it hadn't been used much and motor was mounted too low. I raised it 1 notch and may move it one more. Supposed to be 20C here the next 3 days.

I took last Friday off to work on the Jeep. Today was such a nice day I took it off too! I got quite a bit accomplished on the Jeep-
Coolant flushed / Replaced cracked overflow jug (got repro on Ebay)
Replace windshield washer pump
Changed transmission fluid and filter (that was fun as large skidplate a.d.a trans crossmember needed to be removed to properly remove pan)
Changed oil and filter
Got the 4WD to work by locking the front axle like God intended. While doing the trans fluid change I found out why it wouldn't engage. The vacuum harness was touching the exhaust and was melted right through!
Installed my plow (which took much longer than expected thanks to some fabricating I had to do)
Replaced fuel tank sending unit and filler hose.
It seems to run much better for some reason. Must be the love
Excuse the blurry photo. I got a new phone and am trying to figure out the focus feature.
I love Jeeps . when I was a kid in Sackville the Enterprise Stove Foundry cleared all of the snow with a Cab Forward Jeep . They pounded it very hard to push open the parking for 250 employees
I bought a brand new CJ7 in 1996 . V8 stick 4600.00 .
Yup - winterizing here too. Winter tires on the daily driver, fall oil change and once-over. Tarping up the boat & camper. Change the oil and filters on the lawntractor and exchange it for the snowblower. Getting a couple cords of firewood cut, hauled home, split & stacked, sweep the chimney, shock the well and change the water filter, change furnace filter & smoke detector batteries, check the fire extinguishers, clean the gutters, drain the irrigation system, bring in the garden, get a top-up charge on all the batteries and disconnect them....
What would happen if I lived somewhere the seasons didn't change? Nothing would ever get done!
Speaking of leaks. Found about 1/2 qt of trans fluid lying under my 88 Wrangler. It appears now the shifter shaft seal is leaking. I got the seal ($5) from a local transmission shop. It looks to be a fun job to replace with the transmission in the Jeep. Had I known it was bad I could have popped it out from underneath when I had the pan off.
Since it was 21 degrees here today I decided to leave work a couple of hours early and tackle that leaking (profusely) shifter shaft seal on the transmisson of my 88 Jeep. That is not a job I want to do again on my back! I left the linkage off the shaft and wrapped a paper towel around it. I topped up the fluid and am going to let it sit overnight. If the paper towel is dry in the morning I'll assemble everything and breath a sigh of relief. If it's wet I'm getting the guy I bought the seal from to do it!
Finally got over to buds to get the 1940's sawmill up and running so we could cut up the logs I hauled over there a couple of years back. Carb float was full of gas...no surprise...dad had one in his collection! Also a couple of cool old Fordson Major's. Can anyone ID the engine?

How did the shaft seal work out Todd?
