I think I might be putting a little extra load on these now that I have the posi differential in that front axle. I actually think now that I might have been slipping in the lockouts for a long time and it may be what took out the spider pin in the open differential case. Know what I mean? If I was slipping one side then all the rotetion would have went to that slipping axle, really would have spun the hell out of those spider gears. Anyways, we'll see how it goes. The guts on these new ones look strong, it's just the outer cap and the switch that's maybe... light duty. I'm like you and not a big fan of plastic, especially in cold temps. The outer cap body is steel but the switch of course is plastic.

I like the standard Warne's better than the Mile Marker, even the premium Mm's. You made a fine choice, IMO.

The mile markers seem cheap to me. Maybe different now, it's been about 10 years since I needed to put some in.
I need some on the 78 at some point before fall.

Those are the standard OEM style WARN locking hubs... Couldn't find milemarkers on the way home or warn premium. But these damn sure lock up tight inside so we'll have 4 wheel drive tomorrow when we need it. One of your coworkers has a set of like new MM lock-outs like you were looking for in his shop plus some used Warns. Coulda just had them. You're gonna love that front posi on the ice!

All is well with things that smash snow on frozen lakes and little houses that keep fisherman warm and safe on said frozen lakes.

Chainsaw was used to cut new ski toes on the lead edge of the skids and also to cut a 2X10 brace for inbetween the leading edge of the skids. Here we had cut the new ski toe on the other side of the house and we were drilling to install the new tow hoop. Pounding the support into place between the ski toes which holds them from ripping loose and coming in towards eachother while pulling on the tow hoops. Here we were positioning for a double truck tug on the heavy fish house. We wanted a strong pull but we also wanted to avoid a slamming jerk which could quickly destroy all the work we had just done. Prior to the initial pull we had jacked the house up and laid a small block under both skids. This reduced the surface contact between the rough timber skid and the ice/snow. It makes it easier to get that initial movement started. The boy kept steady pressure on the house with his white truck and I gave a little tug with the plow truck to help initiate the 17 mile slide The old inside joke "You're coming with me, fish house!" was muttered a few times about now. And away we go. [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/album%202/IMG_4251.jpg[/img]

The house was moved in many miles closer to shore, I helped the boys get the house set up off the main lake road so they had a nice straighy shot back onto the road. They spent the night out there last night. Me, Pam and little PWM made the 75 mile drive home in the old snow bully. We met Weezy at home and we all went out for a burger. RWS sent me this phone picture this morning of a 25 incher he got this morning.
