Should have driven over and picked it up to save on shipping.

Don't they sell rebuilt transmissions?

Not sure if they sell complete transmissions. I have been there once before for something strange- can't remember what. It was one of those ebay store type purchases with free shipping. No idea where the seller was located, but I wasn't charged sales tax...

Trans is done!

It wasn't a huge job but does require a press, bearing pullers, dial indicator, and feeler gauges.

Next will be some paint and final assembly.

While out in the forest last time I hit a nice muddy trail with decent water holes. During
that ride I caught a stick and ripped off my right front brake hose. The braided portion
was already fraying so it was time to replace both hoses (they were over 12 years old).
I also decided to replace the master cyl, it was more than 15 years old and was due for a
fresh one. This can be time consuming bleeding the leverloc and gauge.
I have also installed my air tank and compressor.

With the leverloc where it is there isn't room for two of us under the dash!!
Besides, I need you to come up so we can make a skid plate.

Looks like fun with the horses! That Bronco looks like it is pretty close to original including the ranger stripes. Did it have a makeover or was it a survivor?
