  • That yard sale score ...

    From Snag@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 19 17:43:00 2024
    Today I traded it to a local shop for the labor to replace my axle gears/differential on my truck and a valve job on my 1939 Harley 45
    cylinders . I will be supplying all parts . Well , I already got most
    all of the parts , might have to buy some axle bearings and seals ,
    maybe some brake parts .
    Pat got a good deal , and I did too . We might farm some of the 45
    cylinders out to another guy , the same guy that did all the machine
    work on my truck motor .

    Sounds like a plan that came together.

    I'm happy with the outcome . I've never done a differential swap
    before , and this one is a little more complex because we're replacing
    the stock differential with a posi locker unit . Pat has experience and
    I trust his workmanship . I can count the people that I trust to work on
    my cars on one hand and have fingers left over ...
