LOL!!!

I drove it over 160 miles yesterday chasing parts for a bulldozer. temps
ran much hotter than normal most of the time, good thing I have an oil
cooler. 
Still no 5th gear and you would think I should have known this by now yet
I cant tell you how many times I shifted instinctively into 5th. Makes me
feel like its a PTO gear or something..... 
I did get my 9A welded up yesterday as well as fixed my flange compressor
tool. I even made myself a trans drain/filler plug removal tool by
welding an old wheel bolt to a length of steel rod. Works damn good too!
:)
Well, id love to stay and chat all day long but ive got to go drop and
install yet another tranny into the tranny carnivorous Roc.
