My Maintenance Schedule has stripped a gear...

It will depend on what we find in there. But that would be an option if it is in the differential.

Well, it’s locked for sure!!!

Have you considered getting a lift for yourself at home? Best money I've spent.

Yep....it sure is. When we break something, we do it right.

If all goes well I will build a new garage when we move down off the lake and it WILL have a lift!!! This 61 year old fat man rolling around on the floor is not a pretty sight.....

It really does make a difference. Mine is a really simple drive on, but still makes things like you are working on today such an easy job.

Most of us want to “ retire” on a lake and your looking forward to moving off one. Do you know something we don’t?

There's something about the wind whipping across the ice that makes you want to move .

Wife parked it by the barn after work last night. Went to pick up our daughter from a sleepover this morning and it moved about 4' back from where it was parked and locked up solid. No noise, no nothing, just locked.

Okay. Standing by for failure analysis.

I'd put money on finding parking brake shoes and or hardware rusted off and jammed in the inside of the rotor on the drivers side. That should be fun trying to cut that rotor off.

Not going to even mess with it until after Christmas.

You should have gotten the self oiling brakes like my truck came with. It keeps 'em loose as a goose

Friend of mine had an e-brake lockup while he was on the interstate at 80mph, hes ripped of everything on this side.
And no, he didn't forget the brake or pushed it bu accident. It just happened...
