Time will tell! It looks a little high at the moment but its deceiving, springs need to settle and the front end is light. I hope you are right because I dont want to do it a third time!

I was tempted to try the weld a nut option but its recessed pretty good, hard to tell in the pics. It would be luck to goober enough in and capture the broken piece and the nut but it just may come to that. I filled the diff yesterday and checked before bed and everything was still dry so thats a good sign.

Only other thing I managed to get done was replace the mower blades, service it, and finish cutting the lawn.
