Ron, the fact that it moves with the bolts broken makes me wonder if you got all the junk out of the center section. There is a bunch of plastic and metal rings in there. Are you sure you emptied it out?

It is a 90 and has a 5 spd that has bout 70 k on it and the t-case was rebuilt not to long ago either.
It does have some rust on it round the mirrors and front grill area. The guy that has it put a motor direct from IH in it. I think he said it was their drop and run rebuild and has 26k on it. No turbo.
The truck has a 10" drop bumper with Reese hitch under it and a fiver in the bed.
No power group like the Beef does, but could get transferred. :Sly
Looks like she would need some new shoes judging from the photo.
Just gotta get some parts for the ole Beef to get her back out of the barn now.

Agnem said:Ron, check with Jim Williams (Lucky Larue). Last I knew, he had a spare DMF already modded that he was willing to part with. His contact info is in the BOOB registry.

Thanks might need it for the next project
Well after 12 gruelling hours today, We had our final go round (the Beef)
Yanked the motor this am and changed the HG's. No broken head bolts today! Got it back together by noon and located I think a brand new DMF from the guy I got the motor from. There was no clutch dust on the back side and the flywheel surface side had no visible clutch disc contact seen. Only downfall it is a stocker. Got it on and the trans back in and crap! broken tab on the trans to crossmember bolt. Must have been from it getting shook loose. One MORE thing to fix. But got everything back together and fired her back up and all looks good.
Oh well, she might be getting put up for sale as my next project was found tonight.
A big Bravo Zulu thanks to all who morally kept me going.
Ron
