If you're gonna replace it, I'd just punch a hole in the pan so it doesn't make a mess if you were crazy enough to drop the pan full of oil.
Haven't needed to yet. Guess I'm lucky.

Which way are you going? You going through Wisconsin and down I94 or through the U.P.? I know it is about 100-miles farther going through the U.P., but man it is pretty this time of year!

Quadratec. $18 bucks. And I dont know what it is, but EVERY SINGLE PARTS STORE IN MAINE says you can only get shackles from the factory. When I was doing my leafs this summer I called every one I could think of and all said the same thing. Drove me up a wall.

The grass was mowed. The tractor was back together. It was raining all day. The house was full of my son's friends. So it was a JEEP DAY.



Added onto my steering stops.
After I went to my over the knuckle steering the steering stabilizer was getting bent and smashed by the tie rod and drag link





Got rid of my dangly speaker wire.
