Took a break.

Ate lunch

Played with the cat.

Went back to work on the diesel. By loosening all the bolts on the front trunions , removing the nuts on the rear , removing the roll pin and loosening the 4 rubber dounts , I was able to scootch the rear of the driveshaft out of the ball bushing (in good shape).

Got the new fan on, left it loose so I could scoot it back and forth while putting everything back together , put in new roll pin (note to self, beveling one end on the grinder and oiling 'em up really lets em go in easy) and safety wired em.

I got almost everything back...need to put the grill and hood back on , (and put new spade lugs on the harness...oops! Forgot to remove one connection on the harness) and double check everything .

A good days work. Those front trunion bolts are fun to get to. I need to order one new trunion and probably a new driveshaft as the front has some slop in it. Tappet wrenches are handy holding some of those front bolt heads!

Thanks for the help. I know how this goes together (and apart) better now.
