Thought you guys would like this. Can’t wait to do it to mine! See if I can take out some of the 1/8 a turn or so of free play my box has. Enjoy!

Good information. When I adjusted mine I think I may have left out a step or two. Whoops 😅

It looked to me watching the vid that there was some gear oil intrusion in the knuckle. Tsk Tsk.
I’m not the only one. :lol:

Found another old one on the G506 engine, mainly basic stuff that applies to all similar engines, but it’s pretty cool how they break it down nice and simple. Another ww2 army classic

Good info there. I think I'll start with replacing the worn out tie rod ends on mine first, and then go for the play in the gearbox.
