Big belated thanks for all the ideas! Gonna see about them puppies on Monday!

It's "THOSE" puppies.....former newspaper guy.

Just had to yank that chain old friend, glad you got it fixed OK while on the road and didn't need a new final drive. I know in your email you indicated that possibility, I was hoping it wasn't needed. As for me....just enjoying life to the fullest, beats the heck out of the alternative.
