Yeah I beaded the RTV wrong the first time which resulted in the leak. It was my first time using it. But I got it all squared away the second time around and it holds great no leaks.

loaded my lawn tractor into the bed, just enough room for it lol.

Gonna be getting the new trans soon methinks, gotta look into how the core charge will work if my old trans is a BA-10/5 and the new is an AX-15.

Got it ready to install the Aussie tomorrow. Funny the diff rtv talk is going on right now. Mine is cleaned and ready to go back on. Used only the black/gray RTV when I replace the bearing and seals and had zero leakage. If done correctly, that is all you need.

Note the cover is cleaned, the diff is not, yet that is.

Replaced the burnt out bulbs in my instrument cluster eith 74s. Gotta find somewhere with these 103 things, worried the little blue condoms will just slip right off

Also did the other half of the wiring for my new front lights. Thought I had everything kosher but I must have screwed up the relay pinout somehow, or bad relay, or wacky switch (3-prong illuminated type).

Have you ever tried seafoam in the crankcase works good.
