Road Trip: Michigan to Wright-Pat Apr 4-5

[Recovry4x4]

A story about Jackass Flats. A great number of years ago (about 25) there was an old barn built in the 1800s on some property. The folks decided they were going to open up a bar/restaurant. They converted this barn, as rustic as they could, into a business called McNastys. Admission was one used but usable wooden chair and that is how they furnished the place. Lots has changed since then but its still a cool place. If you make it there, have one for me!

Hmmm... that's two places to investigate, now!

Cool. I'll be in Ohio Monday evening, as well. We should get together and grab a beverage or at least work out a plan of attack for the following morning.

Made it home, safe and sound (and a little sore). Now just have to figure out why the clutch is slipping...

 

[gunboy1656]

Thanks for the pic, I was just asking on another thread about needing a pic in the bed of a deuce. what did you use to strap it down?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I bet the clutch is slipping because the trans is puking oil out the input shaft.

Weellll... I got a little "overkill" on mine. I actually mounted a pintle hitch in the front of the bed to hold the tongue (I had one lying around in the garage) and just used one big, beefy strap through the rear frame rails to hold the back down.

I bet the clutch is slipping because the trans is puking oil out the input shaft.

Yep, that's the first thing I'm going to check. Crossing my fingers it's not the rear main or a plain old worn-out disc.
