What are you referring to as the “down tube”?Pack a lock out full of grease and it won't work, just takes a light coat.
Freshly serviced hubs last good long time.
Gear oil gets changed when in deep water,
Down tube on a stock Sami is 2 wall, not sure about kicks, inside tube comes loose, rattles a lot and blocks ****.
Good to know, that would explain why I couldn’t find a set of locking hubs that had grease fittings already. Here I thought I was on to something!Don't. The seals go bad over time. replace them and put a light coat of grease in there.
A fellow granite stater! I would definitely take that information, I’m north of the Franconia Notch.Buddy of mine has a Tracker junkyard just over the border in ME, if you wind up still needing stuff I can pass along his info.
I dig the build, I've considered scooping a decent Tracker to do something similar with.
