Charlie-
Maybe tomorrow after I clean up again, we're supposed to get more overnight. I'm so exhausted from helping my dad put rear weights on his Farmall B today.

Why do the gear guys look down on the hydros? I have run oil drives for 20 year, abused them for 15 and never ever had a problem. Just let the oil warm up in the winter and they are good to go no matter what you throw at them.

Wyatt - On the 10 horse head question. Try it if you have one or can borrow one. The old hot rodder's trick is to put a thin layer of molding clay on it and rotate it by hand then pull it and see if there was any "issues". SKF use to be "The World's Most Expensive Bearings" as they claimed ... good stuff too. On the rod cap - the "racers" use a mic to measure the stretch of the bolt instead of torque values ... might not work for that little feller though.
Snow ? What snow ?? Our "1-2+" of rain turned into drizzle before it got here !! Flurries tomorrow ... sure!

Dean S, I am not looking down on the hydro cubs I have never run one. As to your statement of "oil" drives in the winter, let em warm up and go, I agree. Gear drive cub, start her and yer ready to go. Gear drive may be stiff going into gear the first couple of times. I realize I am not in an area that gets excessive amounts of snowfall, or extreme low temps like those guys in the upper mid-west. But, even with a gear drive cub it is a good idea to let the engine warm up a bit. On a gear drive cub running you are still somewhat moving the fluid in the reduction housing/rear.
