    backup in low

    Not possible. I drive too far onto my soft dirt when filling a hole (backing onto the pile) and need it in muck for both backing and then especially forward when loaded. Loads of the muck are a one shot deal, like working on top of a bowl of jello. If my fuel was turned up some, it might do...

The center shaft is almost in line and when the output is stopped, it makes the center (gear) try to climb the input gear, forcing the case apart.

I should not have gotten rid of that truck. Now I'm on...
