That's what I was thinking. 1 miniature horsepower. Laughing

There's actually 5 mini horses in that field, so I could have strung them together and had about as much horsepower as a push mower, lol.

removed transaxle again today and starting tearing it down.  When I originally installed the axle tubes, they felt a little tight, but still had circular movement.  The axles were also a little stiff to turn, and they seemed to bind up a little bit in certain places, but would eventually work past that spot and spin good.  I never had shimmed axle tubes before, so wasn't sure what "normal" felt like.  I now know what they should not feel like,  Rolling Eyes 

Apparently they bound up too much and the circlip popped out and the axle/side gear fell away from the spider gears, and I was dead in the water after that.  

Hope to get another gasket kit soon from WW and try again.

Despite the 10 degree weather, I adjusted valves and installed a compu-fire points replacement.

Don't want to jinx anything, but took it for about a 8 mile test drive and made it back.  It was getting pretty dark, so I didn't want to go any further.  Will do some more driving tomorrow.  

I'd like to give a big thanks to Bob who pulled himself away from the afternoon news and stopped by for a bit and gave me a hand getting everything back in.

Looking good Eric. Was it as quiet as before?

Is that Howard Hughes helping you?

Yes, it still sounded very good! I'm hopeful it was just a fluke the first time. After messing with the snap rings for a bit, I'm thinking I may have actually just not had the drivers side snap ring fully seated the first time. How many people can say they actually had Howard Hughes as their co-pilot on a test spin?

I think I might take a rubber mallet and try getting the dent out. I hit once with my hand and half of it bounced back in place. The branches fell from a pine tree that is dying, we are going to half to get rid of that tree ASAP! I will take my revenge and burn every last bit of that pine tree!!! Twisted Evil lol!

When I did my transaxle swap I installed a new nosecone with a reverse light switch. Finally got the reverse light mounted yesterday. Looks a little out of place on a bus bumper, but i'll get used to it. It's really bright so should help when backing into camp spaces at night.
