6-22-08 aftermath of the mounds(updated 6/29/08)

[Crazymays77]

Well I had a good day at the mounds until I had to be jump started every 2 mins. then I think the starter went bad. Then the kicker I was towing it home with the tow bar and the rearend locked up. So I had to go home and get the trailer and load it up and go home. I will tear the rearend apart and see what happened and update you all and I will post pics if I can. I took my tracker and jumped the deep end of lake michigan. everyone said it was awesome but I didnt get pics or vid. that sucks. I even went through keago harbor.

update on the tracker. I drained the rearend and it was mostly water. I just changed that a week ago. so i have a bad seal some where. then when i did drain it the plug had a piece of a gear on it. here are a couple pics. I will have to take the third member out and see where in came from and get the rest of it out and get some seals replaced along with the gears.....

[Bigdaddy]

bummer, get r done

[Crazymays77]

yeah i need a a third member for it have one bd? ha ha

[Bigdaddy]

i have a few front pinions, nothing for rear axel tho

[Crazymays77]

[Crazymays77]

yeah on my way home it locked up and i dropped it there and went home and got a trailer and hauled it home.

[Bigdaddy]

barnums have lots of rears, i bought all the fronts   at 25 each

[Crazymays77]

cool i will have to go talk to dan...

[mudboggincrazy]

that  sucks  bout  the rear end  but your  jump into lake  michigan  was  bad @ss  so was  the  2  trips  threw  keago

[Crazymays77]

yeah tracker sounds like a plane

[Crazymays77]

well I will get to find out whats all broke in the rear end i spent today going thru the new one thats going in it. I also found out that my front t case seal leak and the front diff seal leak and the pinion bearing its bad. guess i'm gonna be putting some money it the tracker...

[Crazymays77]

Well it looks like the pinion bearing got a little hot and burnt up and thats what locked up... here are some pics. as you can see there was some water in it. i got another rearend and took it apart and welded the spider gears up and took the old rear end out and now i have to get the rusted bolts out of the links so i can put it back together. damn rust. so i wont be playing anytime soon. plus the front pinion bearing is getting pretty bad gonna have to change that soon.
