Dave,
Got those mirrors from LMC Truck. They cater to old pick up trucks. They have a website www.lmctruck.com

Dave,
I can't hear my differential at all. You may want to pull it apart. Take the tracks off first and put it in gear to confirm the noise. These machines do make allot of noises going down the trail.

This trick for removing tracks came from Charles Bouchard in Quebec. First of all, loosen the track, remove 5 cleats from the track, jack up the machine and roll the track forward until the area that the cleats that were removed roll over the drive sprocket. This lets the track get really loose and then you can get it off the rear wheel. I have noticed that you have to get the machine at a specific height off the floor so there is some weight on the suspension. The nice thing is if you need to change a wheel bearing, axle seal or servicing the differential, you can do it and not take the track off the machine. By doing this method I could remove and install the track alone.
But, after talking to Dan at Shavers, he says there are other ways as well so my method is not gospel. It just worked for me.
