    Haha.. he said "High Herbs" .. Alan, if you don't get the reference, "High Herbs" to some people refers to Marijuana.. lol..

    Anyhow, nice pics.. looks pretty and I love your jeep.. I'd say just some window screen and zip ties will solve the problem as a quick and cheap fix!

    window screen : probably a solution, but I have seen that a mass of herbs are agregating between the metal sheet under the motor and the drum brake, it can also make a problem, maybe. Maybe not;

    About high herbs, I have a risk of being control by the automatic system checking the web content? Words have various meanings according to context!
    Some natural products are not good for health, better to make sport, and have a safe life.
    If everyone did the same, thre will be many problems avoided!!:)

    hey alan, regarding your transmission, the T90 is very simple to rebuild. If you are unable to do it yourself I would think that any knowledgable transmission shop should be able to rebuild it for you easily. I rebuilt mine a few years back with zero experience and no professional tools or training. Rick Stiver's guide is very thorough and should get you through the rebuild in a day, maybe two. As far as rebuild kits, the Novac kit or Herm the overdrive guy will probably ship to you and are worth it.


    For a solution to your radiator problem it might be worthwhile to look what the tractor and agriculture guys do to solve the problem. Im sure that they have a solution, since grain producers would have to pull implements through fields very similar to yours. Good luck and great photos :)

    if so, they won't charge me too much.

    I need a good jeep specialist and this one is unknown because they are lost in the fields and they work as subcontractors for the pros.

    By chance it is not too far from me, and I can give them more small things to fix, I know they have the parts.

    They also have a paint lab, they paint collector military vehicules , they make new ones from old ...
    I'll look at what you say, many thanks.

    About herbs, tractors are above them in fact.

    Did that back in "72" chasing a woodchuck, wrapped so much hay on the driveshaft, it kept going slower and slower till it wouldn't move! Yeah about an hour to cut it off LOL.

    Poor woodchuck. But I checked and that'true, herbs are winding around many parts and it can cause a problem, many problems.
    Fire of course, and blocking some parts, + oveheating the engine. I'll take care next time.
