Good afternoon to all that lurk here.
Has trucking picked yet Grant?
An inch or so of snow isn't bad but heck no, I don't want it either.

Good afternoon
Wound up spending $100 for a release bearing and clutch alignment. The parts guy pointed out that it has a grease zerk so that I can lube it in the future, I told him that was nice as I have a 1 piece bellhousing and it has no clutch pan which is why I was also buying the alignment tool. I've always cheated and placed my clutch and disc on the front shaft and pushed the trans into the pilot bearing, then set my clutch bolts and aligned my disc by hand and tightened. No short cuts on this one.

Trucking is up and down. One week goes well, the next not so well. We just keep plugging away.

Good evening gents
Have a happy shopping trip John
Did my banking and some local running around, leather coat from thrift store, A & W social club and picked up a release bearing and alignment tool.
Snow still here and the ground frost comes next week
How's it in Saskatchewan, Colin

Nothing quite like wrong parts to make ones day, release bearing was about 40 more than I was expecting, but it's been a while since I've bought this style of bearing.

No snow is a good thing to me Perry, we got our dump early in the begining of Oct and very little since.
We haven't real cold here Grant, that`s about to change soon so I`m doing my last minute outside work today and tomorrow.
