Update 6/17/14

I dropped the 435 out this past fathers day with the help of my little 2 year old son who was just throwing everything from the cab out the hole in the floor from the hump cover haha
Trans was dropped off this morning at a shop. Helped the guy pull the cover off an it turns out the the Main Shaft Assy is shot do to a bearing being on the wrong spot. This wasnt alowing me to shift into 3rd or 4th without the wheels locking up when i let the clutch out. Going to have him order anything that that box needs to do it up right for another 40+ years of work down the road. Hopefully the turn around isnt too long.

Some of the work i did over the weekend was repair what the PO had hacked up to make his trans pull easy without removing the hump cover





During the pull



An this mornig at the Trans shop

Needs a new Main Shaft an the hub assy needs replaced its not moving freeley like its bent or somthing

[CrypticRacer13]

Trans was dropped off on the 16th done on the 20th picking it up monday.
Problem was found as soon as we pulled the cover
PO used off brand cheap ass parts no worky
