The Ford is back to being a plow truck

[northguy]

Many many kudoes to Snowman who spent 2 days in my garage putting both the Brat and the XT6 back into running order. We (mostly Kelly) pulled the ea81 out of the Brat and resealed it, and swapped out the d/r 5 spd with the one that Torxxx (thanks again, Brad) dropped off here last Spring. Reinstalled the engine and the Brat is "road and off-road ready" once again. The only glitch is clutch adjustment. Has anyone experienced difficulty in getting the clutch adjusted so the throw out bearing isn't constantly engaged?

 

I also found some cv axles for the XT6 (at long last) and Kelly and I put them in last night. It's back on the road.

 

The Ford will be happily reunited with the snowplow this afternoon, and wait patiently for the next dusting.

 

Thanks again, Kelly.
