Not much progress. Did solve my issue with the semi float bearing retainers bending when torqued down...turns out the thickness of the dust shields needs to be accounted for...

I wanted to leave them off so the mud and debris would be less likely to build up in there, so I trimmed the shields down to only cover the parking brake, which upon closer inspection is required to mount the shoes anyways.

Not looking good. I have been working 70+ hour weeks and Wheat will be ready to harvest soon.

I would like to atleast get the Mazda back together for some July 4th fun.

Nothing really. Sold the bald balloons, so it sits like this until I find some 37s to daily it on again.


I did bite the bullet and put new batteries in it.


Lowered the DD and added fogs





And had the 86 tinted before hibernation



And added a front PTO to my Simplicity for a snow blower.lol
