It was actually Sunday, but my 982 rear is still apart. I got the axle tube gasket on and I happily didn't need to helicoil the case. The bolts were just a little short. I chased the threads and they torqued very nicely. I still need to get the rear cover back on, fill with hi-tran and replace the relief valves. I ordered from LJ supply and they couldn't have been nicer on the phone or quicker with their shipment. Great to deal with. Once I get that all back together, she'll get a rest for the winter. I'm hoping to be done this weekend. I also want to get a set of vredestein ribs for the 1862 for snow blowing. The original turfs are pretty tired and worn, so I'm going to have to do something soon.
