I haven't yet but thanks for the reminder, considering I touched every single bolt on the suspension.
My ancient wooden creeper basically smashed to splinters when I was under it today but when the new one arrives I'll spend some time on every bolt.
I'll be dragging mine out.

Driveshaft issues should be remedied
John Deere?
Do what
I have no idea, just what the drive shaft place did.
Some of us have more experience with shafts than others.

Oh were you looking for @The shaft Inspector
It might have been close to possible to do it with the other amount of slip without tapping the tcase but I doubt it.
He dropped it when turtled and trying to free himself. Wrap got it, and now its farm duty time
I don't care what its for as long it works and it stops the front drive shaft issues.
Some things before BB
Last run I had an issues with power steering/hydro assist/hydro boost fluid getting SUPER hot so doubled up on coolers
Had some scary death wobble develop and I've been fighting with leaking rear output cover so I ordered some things to address is
Did the rear housing output while I was waiting for the front drive shaft, no leaks yet so fingers crossed (third time is a charm right?)
When I pulled the tie rod and drag link there was close to no preload on the king pins so hopefully I've got the death wobble handled.
Front drive shaft also installed, looks like I'm back in action
Oh and I rolled under and checked all my bolts, good thing because some where uncomfortably loose, so thanks for the suggestion @Bent77
