Well, I recently reached a new milestone with my Trac. I recently started a new job 180 miles from our house, and I have to drive it every week, and home on weekends. Have to move there before too long. On the way up last week I noticed I had crossed a milestone, so I quickly got a picture of it.
Still have the original engine and transmission, although the trans. took a moment to shift into fourth the other day. I was concerned it was finally going out, so I dropped the pan to check it out and change the filter. Red fluid and nothing more than a bit of gunk on the magnet. I did notice a couple of drops of fluid on the tailshaft, so I might have a rear main seal leak. Otherwise it's ok. I didn't think to check the fluid level before I dropped the pan.
On another note, the mileage is not going up any faster because I have to drive that far twice a week. 360 miles per week is close to the 350 miles I was driving in Houston (35 miles times 5 days times there and back) During the week it's two miles to work. Ain't small town life great?
