how it started.
All of this just for "checking" the frame bolts. Three bolts were tight the 4th was snug as well but with little pressure it snapped. Upon inspection it had been broken about 3/4 across for some time. I couldn't get the broken end to budge in the tractor, seeing that I have external brakes there was no straight shot to the broken bolt due to the brake rotor. Okay no problem drop the rear axle, so draining the fluid is when I found the wax in the differential. Now as said before with the external brakes the Axle has to come out to remove the broken bolt. Oh, I still didn't know when to say when. so I stripped it down for inspection and "refinish".
OH yeah, got a leaky cork gasket too, . Sensuous, yeah sensuous in here, now's the time. So, now I'm waiting for a couple of axle seals, a cork gasket and paint to dry.
