So since it arrived, this 644E would make an awful racket if you filled the bucket right to the top and then drove down some road bumps too fast.. With the help of a bottle jack the other day, picked up the tail and when the weight came off the rear axle, it dropped about 1/2 to 5/8 where the rear is held against that big bracket behind the axle.
So the parts listing looks like there's a big fat pin and a bushing perhaps inside the rear housing. Is it possible that I could have all the damage contained to the bushing and pin or can things get outside of that?
In its previous life it wasn't too well maintained but now we can get it some mechanical love. It looks like drop the fuel tank shield, Jack and crib and that cross bracket should slip right on out for something like likely weighs north of 500 pounds. Just wondering if there are any trends to watch out for, wrecked cases etc.
