Well I did some research on the JD 2640 NA diesel. It's gonna need a complete rebuild. Evidently the factory wet liner seals had problems with leaking at 5,000-6,000 hours, and ours has almost 6,000 hours on it. So it'll be a complete rebuild. I'm debating whether to turbo it or not, and just put light boost just to get some gains. I'd definately install a EGT gauge and boost gauge if I did.

Helps hide some imperfections between the hood and grille.

Well my new lights will be here Monday, BW Solenoids are in Charleston, WV, so I'd guess by Tuesday I'll have them, then I gotta drop the tranny pan

It's on the list!

Edit: Strangely enough if I would have listened to zman17 those 3 or 4 previous times I'd already have a drain plug installed
