Got the oil changed and the transmission oil changed, got stuck on the differential as I can't get the fill or drain plugs open. Need to get that done on a lift as I can't get the leverage as some P.O or it could have been me overtightened. Oh well, Bugsy got to run several errands yesterday after all fluid got topped off. Breezy with 40+ mph gusts but in the 60's for mid November. I wasn't complaining.
Discovered tranny filler plug was missing. Last time I changed oil in there discovered that PO had tried to use a regular pipe plug and I got maybe a half turn on ot and rather than strip out the threads left it at that. Well I can't remeber when the tranny oil was last changed but substituted a rubber stopper as a fix. Tranny seems a whole lot quieter and synchro for 4th to 3rd working a whole lot better now with a full load of oil in the tranny.
Might be a few more days left this year but they are getting few and far between. Almost time for some winter projects but not yet!
