Re: SOLD.. 1968/69 Patrol in NC

I sold her today. Here she is as the new owner drover her away for her 2 hour drive to her new home, during which she did great.

I highly recommended the forum to the new owner.

Thanks again for all your help.

SOLD.. 1968/69 Patrol in NC

Selling my Patrol... http://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/5581793447.html Thank you to everyone here who helped me out. I'm sure it took a lot of patience to deal with my rookie questions. While I love my Patrol, and would greatly enjoy getting to regularly drive her, working on cars is just not my t...

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread.

Is it possible that I have a CV joint system and I don't have any more fittings, as the Esso Service chart would suggest? According to the chart, that would mean I have only two front axle housing fittings and 8 front suspension and steering linkage fittings. Or is the chart incorrect? Today I was ...

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread.

I went looking for the additional 2 grease fittings in the front axle and 2 grease fittings in or near the bearing cap and struck out. I found only the one grease fitting on the axle jacket (one on both sides). What am I missing?

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread.

Thank you Esteban (there never seems to be the thank you button next to your posts). For some foolish reason I was thinking the rear drive shaft would turn by hand, completely forgetting it is locked into the rear axle (unlike the front drive shaft). :doh:

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread.

I spent much of today greasing Mountain. I used the Esso service chart (http://www.60patrol.com/forum/download/file.php?id=372). I have a few quick questions. 1. The chart says there are 8 fittings in the front suspension and steering linkage yet only shows 4 on the diagram. I greased the two ball j...

Re: Mountain Patrol

I'm not sure my dog knows what to make of it yet. It is more than a bit louder and quite a bit rougher ride than he is used to. That's called personality. ;) I'm sure that extra leaf spring stiffened up the ride. the Patrol suspension typically provides a pretty nice ride, when it's all up to snuff...

Re: Texas 1969 KL60

I like that washer fluid setup. Adding one is definitely on my list. I don't know how that wasn't a standard item.
