Not an old member here in the sense of long time on the forum since I just joined last July, but at 73 I've likely got several chronological years over most of the members. Don't call me old though. I can still do everything I did when I was 18........ It just takes longer, I need more help and I hurt a lot more afterwards. I can even remember where I put things... Well some of the time anyway. Got the new rear axle in my Honda Fourtrax 300 FW. I definitely got all the life out of the old one. The splines on the axle and in the hub and the left side were completely worn out to the point the wheel spun free. With the full time 4x4 it really didn't show up until I got in some slippery stuff on a steep grade and one front wheel didn't have much contact. There is no posi on that front axle , so with it without traction and only one rear wheel driving, I went nowhere .. Had to use the winch to get up the bank, and all was fine for the rest of the ride. There's no hesitation now with both rear wheels driving again.
