Thanks, Mike! After applying some John Deere power I was able to
get it into the barn, so its melting/drying off now and hopefully
within the next few days I will be able to get it on the lift and have
a look. Being able to get all four tires off the ground may help with
the diagnosis also. I sure hope I didn't do something stupid like
misalign the CAD and screw up an axle! Then again, *something* was
wrong with it before, so if it is maybe I'll just pretend it was
already like that. :-)
