Update on Torque Tube Leak
 

Well here is a little update on the leak I had from the rear axle through the torque tube. After pulling the axle and torque tube assembly, I ordered the torque tube adapter from Bruce's Rod Shop. By installing that as well as a new grease seal in the tube, I have no leaks. :D

I also used the John Deere corn head grease for the u-joint. I greased the u-joint pretty well before attaching the bell. Then through the zerk fitting, pumped in a full tube of the grease until I saw it start coming through the speedo opening.

Just drove it for a 40 mile trip and no leaks.
