As the saying goes..."How do yo eat an elephant?...one bite at a time"
well today i took a big bite...I completed the instalation of my "newly rebuilt" tranny...(yeh the bottle of tranny fix didnt last long" now i am getting really close to being able to put it on the road to see what else is really wrong with her  :) ..but before that i still need a set of tires...
Andy...what did you end up getting...and how much $$$$...i am trying to stay on budget.
Then I will be able to get this baby closer to home where i can work on the coach, the stuff that i can enjoy...
For all you guys up north ( hey Rodney, I am talking to you  :lol: )...the weather down here in florida is perfect for working out doors...didnt even break a sweet putting the tranny in...hey after all the hurricane stuff we deserve a break...right Andy?...you are still down here right?

Hey Rasta.   Already posted it... I got a set of Dean "Trail Cat LT"s.  They're made by Cooper (NOT good - they're Chinese and come apart), but as it turned out, the Dean Brand is made in the USA, not China, and has a good rep.  $100 apiece, mounted, balanced.  So far, so good.

Sounds like you're making good progress.... I know the tranny story, lol.  Check your PMs... left one for ya.

This is what we have been facing for the last few weeks here in Central Oregon. It was 7 degrees this am Burrrr!!
be sure and check the TV {throttle valve} or kick down linkage that is is set up correctly before you do much driving, the adjustments on the 727's are very important or you could do damage to your new trans.

ice and frozen fog on the trees of my place.

happy holidays all :)

yep pretty is about all I can say good about the cold, hopefully it well kill all of the bugs we have had last summer.
there is a procedure in the manual for the adjustment of the TV, I don't have it in front of me, if all looks oem and hasn't been bent or parts missing, make sure that the levers and linkage are moving smoothly and not binding or hitting anything when operated to full throttle and the return springs are in place and doing there job.
good job on getting the trans fixed.
one bite at a time :wink:
