All righty then, back tried to go south on me again. So I jumped on the aleve, Ice packs, and hot baths. Plus made the laborers do their job and sat in the tractor like I'm paid to, two weeks and no missed work.
Back to playing with my toys and yard work. Got the drive shaft and center brake back in and adjusted up the center brake. Talked to the neighbor and found out he is spending $400 for 4 jag wheel cylinders, figure the 4wd products are not as bad as I thought. So ordering parts, and crying about shipping tonight.

But this turned out all right

I remember the days when we used to cry about having to pay $150 per cylinder. Then when 4wd showed up it was a Godsend. :lol:

Wheel cylinders all showed up, figured I would rebuild from the wheel seal out for now.
So I started at the right front hub as it was very stiff. Tore it completely apart, cleaned it up and started to look for parts. Yeah, Warn laughed at me. So I got out the calipers and started hunting for parts. Replaced the outer v-seal with a o-ring, replaced the inner o-ring, removed all the old grease and needle bearings. Cleaned up the bearings, the rest of the hub, repacked and reinstalled the needle bearings and re assembled the hub. Turns like a dream now.
Then since I was climbing around under the truck I decided to pull the speedo drive seal and get rid of my last leak. Pulled the cable housing nut off, housing is still dripping :lol: 5 hours later. Pulled the speedo shaft support, and speedo gear. Pulled the seal with a seal pick knowing I was going to stab my self, yeap, sure enough. Pick slipped off and right in the finger tip. Finished getting the seal out, then washed my hands and started sucking on my finger to get the puncher bleeding. (couldn't bring my self to putting gear oil in my mouth). Looked and called around to no avail, no seal locally, ordered on line.
Pulled the lock nut, lock ring, hub nut and removed the hub and wheel bearings. Popped out the seal. You betchya,I have the wrong ones :lol: Jumped on line and ordered up a pair from socal. So then I just cleaned up the bearings and put it to bed, tomorrow is another day.

Well the wheel seals guy refunded my money, no seals. Looks like I can get some that are close from MD, or if I buy 4 from local. So I pulled my bent backing plate and hammered and dollied it back into shape.

After that I fixed the spot welds that were broke, yeah didn't purge the welder long enough on the first one.

After that I pulled the traca joint apart :o what a mess. Looks like a whole tub of dirty grease in there. The manual says to coat the parts with grease. So need some help here, liberal coating, or whole tub?

How come every time I try to fix something, I end up taking more apart.
Have the right side stripped to the front end housing. Decided to clean up the tracta joint, and after pulling the tie rod noticed notchy pivoting on the king pins. Lower race is done. Is there any where to get the big seal for the housing pivot? Seems most of the grease around the tracta joint was pumped in the axle housing bushing.

Yeah baby! Guess I'll tear the other side apart while I am waiting on this.
OH and Robert, How did you clean yours out with only 10 shop towels?

Please keep posting pictures of the progress.

Keep the parts from one side totally separated from the other, especially the Tracta joint components.
