Well last Labor day we knew that I broke an axle joint in the DeRanged Mudder. When it happened I was sure it was much worse, I yelled out the window "broken diff". When we got it out of the mud we saw it had a broken joint. "Oh, is that all". I finally got time to work on it. I pulled the axle and installed a new joint. The axle would not go back in! I shined a flashlight in to the axle tube and saw that the side gear was halfway down the hole. "Oh, That can't be good".
I haven't found a large piece of the main pin, It must be up between the pinion bearings.
I don't have any spare parts so I'm done for a while. I will have to run the 'frog instead.
