Dad and I did it to his 1864 and it was rather simple. Use new grade 8 bolts, new axle tube gaskets and some high grade rtv silicon for re assembly, install the rear end braces and you should be good for a gob of hours.

Also would like to welcome you to the 1864 club. Dad and I both have one, would not trade them for anything, even a super lol

X2!! If I were sober i probably would have said the same thing
