Might have to take a little joy ride today, weather looks pretty nice here in NE Ohio it is supposed to be in the low 80's
After the yard gets mowed of course

How did the ride go? I should have taken the heep out this weekend, but was doing other things. It won't be long before it will be time to pack wheel bearings on the car hauler and shoot north.

It was a beautiful day for a joy ride, put about 80 miles on it yesterday.
I just wish I would of put a baffle in the fuel cell when I built it, the fuel pump mounted in the frame rail squalls pretty good when it gets down to about a half a tank and the fuel sloshes from side to side and the pump sucks air.
So I guess I will just have to keep it topped off.

Okay guys!!!!
Went for a short little ride on Saturday and parked the Ole girl.
Came out tonight and have a puddle the size of a dinner plate under the emergency brake drum, drove it 100 or so miles after it was put back together and nothing now she’s leaking out of the rear output of the transfer case.
Any ideas??
Could it be the EBrakes to tight and scorched the seal or maybe a speedy sleeve on the rear yoke?

Much like a Harley and old dogs, constantly marking their territory.

I would look at the output yoke sealing surface first. The brake would have to be way too tight to cause enough heat to mar up a seal. I'm in the same boat when I went through and fixed the parking brake on the 2A. The output yoke showed signs of a wear pattern on the sealing surface, but didn't leak. Installed a new seal, and it weeps when driving. A speedy sleeve is in my distant future, unless I dig through the spares bin and find a better example.
