Which will make working on it easier.Going to remove the rear tires tomorrow and begin the refurbishing of the rims.

Hopefully sometime next spring or summer
New left front axles arrive Saturday. I didn't order a tracta joint yet.
Will wait on that until I disassemble and check out the condition and clearance of the old one (from memory, 7 thousandths max, but I need to confirm that). And won't do the disassembly till I get the new rear tires mounted and off the jacks. I think I may use this as an opportunity to pull the front pumpkin and check out the condition of the bearings and ring & pinon.
I'm tired of looking at the beat up front bumper, so will install the winch bumperettes for the LU-4 this weekend.
I did pick up a new 4 psi radiator cap today

You might pull one of those bumperettes before setting in the winch. Driver's side. I just did that with mine-too difficult with both in place. You'll also want to slide the PTO shaft in place before mounting the winch as well.
