Well, got the old axle out and new one in. Had to use the Kubota to pull the old one out.... pan hard bar wouldn't budge. Is that redneck enough? Apparently they changed axle design from 69 to 70... have to hit up the auto store tomorrow for different u-joint clamps. Oh, and dropped the axle on my left hand.... can barely use it.

Mine got me started at a young age, but he wasn't really good at it. By the time I got outta the army, taught him some things.

You may be right...I don't remember anymore. I know I got in country the 1st week of January of 67 and left country ?? end of August..1st part of Sept 68. Pretty much lost track of most everything by the time I left. I can't even remember a lotta stuff that went on those last few months. I know I've had different guys come up to me at reunions and tell me things that I have absolutely no memory of....But there's other stuff that's as clear as if it was yesterday.
