Bout this time last year I was moving dirt for my daughters house with the 76 F600 truck.
My boots were muddy and my foot slipped off the clutch and I broke an axle. Put a new axle in and hauled another dozen loads or so of dirt.
I parked the truck till fall. Backed out of the shed to haul a load or two of beans to town. When I went to move forward it would not move. Drive shaft was spinning but no power out of the rear end. No bang skip or anything just would not move forward or reverse. Opened up the two speed gear box and it seemed to be shifting from high to low and not stopping in the middle.
I didn't have time to tear it apart farther so I pushed it back into the shed and hired all the grain hauled instead of part of it.
Last week I pulled the hogs head out of the pumpkin and found the problem.
When the axle broke it must have hit the two speed gear hub and shifting fork hard enough to crack it. It finished breaking quietly when I shifted to forward after backing it out of the shed last fall.
Called Sadlers in Cedar Rapids and they had all the parts on the shelf. Shifting fork, 2 speed hub with the gear on each end and axle gaskets and all.
I didn't even ask the price cause I needed them and they had them.
When they handed me the bill I was totally shocked. I expected 400 to maybe 800 dollars for the parts.
Instead the bill was $201. Gaskets and sealers were $50. So only $150 for shifting fork a hub that had a gear on each end plus the groove for the fork machined into it.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
