RE: Bjorn, back on the road again. 3,300 miles later, arrived in Ventura, CA at 1045 hrs this morning. I'll be here until Monday afternoon at least. If any of you fellows living in this parts of the world, would like to stop by, the address here is: 371 South Wake Forest Ave, Ventura, CA 93003...

Kenny, I know you would have done the same. Been there, done that kind of thing. :-) Well it took us several hours to wrestle that transmission in place, but it's done. This morning the deuce is loaded and again ready for the road, couldn't fit the bulky troop seats/bed sides and bows on top of...

The amazing Leonard! So you break down and need a part, we get the part number for a hard to get engine oil seal (I thought on Labor Day). He finds the biggest NAPA store I have ever seen, must have occupied a football field and they have it in stock!! Next, with his expert skills, we get the...

Okay, so we got the transmission out this afternoon and should be able to finish the job tomorrow. BTW, the seal we found at NAPA was the 49929 and it sold for about $44. It's great to have Jones to supervise the work and help with the tricky stuff. :-)

We found the seal (49927) at a local NAPA believe it or not, so we are ready to take the transmission out for starters. I'll report our progress. Thanks Kenny and devilman for providing part numbers!

Thanks, we'll try to get a new seal tomorrow or at least by Tuesday. The crankcase filter was bypassed this morning since I didn't have a replacement filter element. My thoughts went along the lines of yours, Jeff, but didn't solve the oil drain problem. A couple of things I have learned during...

Arrived at Leonard's place a couple of hours ago. Today's driving was delayed by the oil leak issue, the drain from the bellhousing vent is not getting better and I stopped every 20-30 miles or so to add oil. Coming down into California I stopped at the rest areas and ended up taking hydraulic...

Thanks Leonard, sent you a PM with a drawing...

Thanks for your continued support! Helped Mike lift a trailer among other things and managed to burst a hydraulic line on the crane. Small town and an "auto parts" store within walking distance fixed the problem. The line and another fitting will have to be replaced at a later date. Later in...

Finally delivered that heavy laundry trailer to Mike Popovitch here in Nevada. Counted down the miles before arriving here in Eureka. The long up-mountain drives began to get to me (and the deuce), 20-25 mph in 3rd gear for ten minutes at a time over and over again. I-80 only looks level on the...
