I'm in mine now and could sure use some help finding parts. I could probably get away with making my own gaskets and checking with the local bearing supplier for bearings and races possibly even the bushings but, I'd sure like to just find a kit... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,228 | | | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 104 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 104 | Yeah, Classic parts said theirs is only for the 1/2 ton, thanks for that link though Joe H.
