Jay, what do you carry as a spare for the Birfield? Both front axles,
or just an axle stub, the balls, and the ringy thingy?
PS - what else do you carry? Maybe it's time to start filling out our
spare parts kits.
I carry stuff I know has caused me problems, plus extras I have lying
around including:
- - Igniter/coil (not new, but known good)
- - Distributor pickup (New - haven't needed it yet)
- - Spark plugs
- - Rear Drive shaft front half (with a worn u-joint that is serviceable)
- - New U-joint (in case the rear-rear goes)
- - Starter (my old one, but it works 98% of the time, just a few worn teeth)
- - Fuel pump (bought a new one, haven't installed it yet)
- - Duct tape
- - JB Weld
- - Piano wire
- - Hook-up wire and splices
- - Hoses, fluids, nuts/bolts, etc
- - Spare tire, hi-lift jack, first-aid kit
- - Tool kit (basically all the tools I own)

I usually carry one of each side complete axles.....assembled.

I always have this in my truck:
usual array of tools plus a hub socket
silicone sealer, hand cleaner
1 gallon oil, ps fluid, brake fluid, 1 quart tranny fluid
grease, 2 quarts ATF, 1 gallon water
tow strap

jumper cables
spare belts, hoses, fuel line, nuts, bolts, duct tape, elec. tape,
spark plugs, dist. cap, coil, fuel pump, bailing wire, block of wood
