    Need To Move 1/2 A Tractor

    I used Rustoleum Epoxy-shield Water-based Epoxy Floor Coating, with a Solvent Based Clear Coat and Non Slip Additive. It has held up great from 2012, Highly recommend it, (with a GOOD acid wash first) unless it is a new pour on the floor.

    Need To Move 1/2 A Tractor

    I found it would be nice to "clear" the shop, clean the floor, change oil in the Subie, etc. But had half a tractor in my way......... Problem solved, No second tractor available, Use the Willys! Just lashed the two together with come-alongs and we are good to go.

    What would you replace? Trans Gears

    Thanks for all the input, the general consensus, while that gear is serviceable most would swap it out while she is apart.

    I have my transmission apart to repair a reverse problem. I have an obvious problem with the main shaft, I am wondering if I could get opinions on the reverse gear and the 45 / 56 gear.
