Thanks WB! I think I&#039;ll go check into a Holiday Inn Express, get a good nights sleep, roll up my sleeves, and proceed with the transmissionectomy this week. I&#039;ll fix the brakes while I&#039;ve got it out as someone previously had disassembled the pedals and cross shaft linking to the disc brakes with a cutting torch(being down between the frame=rails of the scraper)  Not many parts donors in my part of the country so I may be checking back for further info or directions to OC (Oliver Cemetaries)
