Am I justified in my frustration?

Hell no it didn’t come apart. When I saw what it was doing to the tree I called it quits. I gave it enough effort to figure out if the axle is stuck that bad the third member is just as fucked. It’s enough to make me put this in the “Learned my Lesson” pile. What do you think?

My 100 year old shade tree in my front yard is much more valuable than some rusted piece of **** 8-3/4.



Hey guys, I’ve got a good rebuildable core 8-3/4 rearend with a 489 case for sale. $350 takes it.

Backing Plates - $50
Axles - $100
Housing - $200
489 case - $350
Pinion Snubber - $50
Ring and Pinion Gear - $100

See, it’s a great deal. All these parts are good to go and amount to much more separately than the asking price. Just needs bearings and races.

I’m sure you competent mechanics can get this thing roadworthy lickity split.

Yeah, I understand about the tree. I hate it got damaged. I think it'll be ok though. I sure hope so.
