Ahh.... Am I crazy, or could the old tranny be: rebuilt for profit, or kept around as a spare/parts cow? I mean, like I said, no transmission expert, but the pieces looked to be in good shape... Matt

Kenny- Yea, that's what Maccus was mentioning to me today, too. However, how did that front plate on the tranny disintegrate? And, how come there is no (visible) damage done to the PTO gears or the tranny gears? Matt

I should add... I am picking the deuce up north of St. Paul, and am driving it basically straight east until I hit Green Bay. 331 miles! Don't worry, plenty of pictures and stories, I am sure!! Matt

Well, after: 1. Seeing the truck in person and making an offer 2. Hearing that the front transmission gasket blew 3. Hearing that the main transmission bearing disintegrated It looks like I will be picking my truck up tomorrow at about noon!!! Got a buddy of mine heading out with me to at 0530...
