Bradb Hello welcome aboard. I work in and around Springfield. If you and your buddies want to meet here in Springfield that would be nice too. At least we would know each other in passing that way.

You said to bring the wife, if the wife comes so do the 4 kids that about doubles the count to 11.

 

Forgot about that. I will be bringing the wife for sure and I maybe bringing both boys with me. There's 3 more.

 

whether the BOSS comes or not depends on a mare we have foaling right around then.....

 

Our mare isn't due until the end of May. My youngest maybe out on tour with the 4H rodeo team for the summer bullriding season. I won't really know on the boys until it gets closer. The oldest boy works for local farmers so he maybe in the field. The youngest is riding in the winter season finals this Saturday night. I think he has a serious case of buckle fever.

 

Sorry I probably won't be able to make it to the party. Has anyone given any thought to a wrenching day? I could really use one right about know. I was trying to reapaier an oil leak and install my KDP tab kit at the same time. Unfortunatly I found the oil leak after I got the front of the motor torn down. Instead of the crank seal like I thought it was the leak is comeing from a break in the gasket between the timeing gear case and the block. I was retouqing the case bolts (which were very loose) and noticed oil coming out from the back of the case. Then I noticed the peice of gasket sticking out.
I felt alright installing the KDP tab but when it comes the the gear timeing and I was told the cam would have to be pulled to get the case off I know just enough to get me in big trouble. So if anyone knows how to do this job and would want to come over and play diesel for a while I would realy aprecciate it. The truck is now torn down to the point of when I installed the KDP tab and I called it quits untill I figure out what to do. Thanks for any help.

 

Wish I could help ya out, but thats sounds just a little over my head....despite my vast wrenching experience....( that was sarcasm for those who dont know it)

 

Won't be able to make it this weekend got my three girls out on spring break going to spend some time trying to control them and have some fun. Try to make it next time.

 

PM me your info. We all run together in our Jeep club and with the weather turning nice, scheduling all three of us might be a trick. Summer is always so busy.

bumping this back to the front page...

 

Kewl! Mountain Grove has a nice airport. I know the FBO there, I'll fly down and say and congratulate Pistol for his service and civilianness.
