May 10, 2020. Happy Mothers day, I hope y'all called your Moms!

I was pretty busy today. Mrs. Rod wanted to be treated special today, so I moved her plants outside, then fixed a sprinkler head that I mowed over.

I finally got into the shop at about 1300. I wanted to set the engine back in the frame right away, but decided that I should change the fluids in the front diff, tranny, and transfer case. Of course I ran out of gear oil since I couldn't find the gallon I just bought.
I was not happy with the mess that came out of the transmission, yucky milkshake!! with sparkles. I've seen worse though.

I put the flywheel and clutch on, then set the engine into the frame. It took me a solid hour of wiggling it around to finally get it to slide home!!! I should have called my son in law to help!
