I feel for ya Jay. I was there doing the same thing about 3 months ago on my F250. Mine is a 96 though and has the TTB front axle. I had to do upper and lower ball joints, axle and drive shaft U-joints, brakes, inner and outer wheel bearings, and I converted the auto hubs to manual hubs after a couple "incidents" where the automatic hubs didn't lock in. I also had a problem with the bolts on the TTB axle pivot brackets working loose and breaking. It has a 4" lift on it, and I think the 4 7/16" bolts in each bracket couldn't take the stress of how I use it/load it. So I drilled the brackets and cross member out to 5/8" and used grade 8 bolts and stover flanged locknuts. I got bolts that a shoulder just long enough to go through all the pieces without any loads on the threads (I hate that), lots of red loctite and a 3/4 breaker bar, no worries now. Was a little hard to get the bolts and nuts in there with the 7.3's oil pan only an inch above the cross member. But, the factory ball joints lasted to 285,000 miles, must have been pretty good stuff.

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
