I agree something simple overlooking. While not a 880, I had a '82 dodge w150 with the 318 and loved her. I had some fuel issues and ended up putting a electric pump inline with the mechanical to prime and keep demand. Grandfather bought her off the lot in '82 and gave her to me about 5...

I second that, I'd be late to my own funeral if given the chance to drive something rare like that.

I might get lucky and have them in the barn / work shop at my gramps. Being a small farm we have some big boy tools for the tractor and attachments.

Ok, cool. I was thinking about that. Sorta like the can't have no more the two studs broken non-consecutive order. Ok, so, gonna get everything together and re pack this week, put a little blue locktite on the bolts when putting them back in and not get all rambo with them. I was very pleased...

Another angle. What are my options?

Before anyone gripes I over torqued, tm -20 para 7-9 doesn't call for torque specs. I had to use my small breaker bar to get the bolts loose.

That's what the LO calls for GO 80/90, Trans, diffs, t/c

So took the caps off and the bearing look good for initial inspection, no fluid came out so that's a good sign. Pulled a bolt off the bottom and drained the water out and looks like the seals are good no fluid there. Put the caps back on for the time being and well...I guess I'm stronger than I...

Would love to buy them off a member but need them sooner.

Thanks for the warning. I'll just go with 80-90 from tractor supply. Any thoughts on gear oil additives? And the socket size, 4" don't think my local autozone carries it, napa?

No plans on doing that on a regular basis. This was a whoops moment, I was expecting a smooth crossing, not what happened.

No, someone wants me to bring a 1070 to fl. Trying to swing it in one trip if possible. If it did work out I was going to see about renting your tow bar for a couple days.

We have that bearing packing tool from tractor supply. It's pretty neat, take clean bearing put in it, put top on and put grease gun on it and pump away. Grease forces into the bearings. I have ran synthetic oil in all my vehicles and diesels, and I'm a fan of royal purple. I know it's way...

What about rotella or royal purple synthetic gear oil in both?

What about the wiper and inner bearing seal on the rear, and the bearing seal on the front?

No problem. Will get it done this weekend. Might hit up some 4x4 shops around Baton Rouge and see if they have any seals, wiper, and cork gasket for the Rockwells and possibly the cv boot

Defiantly true on the learning part. You know, if this was any ground based weapon system, a m1, or 88 I wouldn't be asking questions, got all that in memory.

One last question, jeep do you know what size the adjusting nuts are, inner and outer? Want to make sure I have the right size socket before starting, and I'm guessing I will need a deep socket for the inner.

Looking over the tm I don't need to pull axles, that's a relief, although I probably will inspect just to make sure. Pretty simple procedure for front, haven't gotten to the back yet, but looks to be simple enough. As far as packing, if anything like on the tractor, I want to make sure I get...

Looks like I got my work cut out for me this weekend. Now I've done diffs before, but never rockwells, when I pull the axles, is it like smaller diffs where fluid will come out? Trying to figure out the best approach to this. Drain diff, take tires off, take axle off, take hub off, pull...
