Those of you who were at Tincleton today, may be aware that my front axle broke...... well, something inside it anyway...........
However, on the way home, i found out the hard way what was broken..... as the diff pin decided to break free through the axle casing...... leaving a giant oil slick from there, til i got home...... thankfully only about a mile,.........
The moral of this story is this............... if you lose drive in the front axle, remove the front prop, and drive flanges, therefore the axle internals won;t turn, meaning the damage will be limited........... as it is, i think i now need to source another complete front axle...LOL!!

Oh dear! Hope you can get it sorted before Mannington - I'm sure a competent chap like you will be able to source an axle quick-smart. I dont think you cant really blame the truck - you do tend to give it a right pasting!!!
Good luck with the repair
