grease your u-joint

Now is the time to grease all those hard to get to fittings. I just finished replacing the driveshaft u-joint in my 47, what a job!! I know its one of those fittings we tend to forget but a tube of JD cornhead grease and a minute or two is much easer than than what I just went through. Not fun.

vibration, a clunking noise when using reverse, sometimes it only vibrates when you let off on the gas. If it breaks at road speed be sure you are wearing good sneakers and know someone with a trailer.
