A random selection of posts about travel and tinkering with mechanical machines. Mostly cars from 1937 to 1999, manufactured in English speaking parts of the world, but also kayaks and sewing machines. So here you can see how we travel, drive, paddle, break fix and find on a regular basis. On a desktop, you can choose your favourite item from the list on the right, choose a page from the menu or simply scroll down to see the latest.

Differential matters
We are almost there with the J10. There's just the small matter of the Differential making a "ping" noise once in a while. There's a lot of play on the bearing (on the right) and the spidergears rattle like loose marbles. There's also the small matter of a damaged Pignon. So this probably means a new carrier, bearings, ring and pignon and spidergears. This Jeep will be soo reliable. Can't wait to use it again!
