P1000m5 Traveller II

[joeymt33]

Traveller is sick! I did my normal checks that I do after every ride and found the rear diff oil to be very dark. I have magnets on my drain plugs and there was a lot of fine metal on the plug. This is probably due to the failed pinion seal I had at 700 miles. For now I have flushed the diff with ATF and refilled with new gear oil and 50% Lucas. Hopefully it lives a little longer. It's not louder at all and not rattles yet. I will go ahead and order new bearings and seals to have on hand.

I used a magnetic rod and inserted in to the drain hole and found metal.

This is the fine metal on a magnetic rod.


Seen here is after I cleaned the rod with a rag.


I was able to get metal out doing this several times. None present after the ATF flush. Glad I was using magnets on the plug!

Btw, both side bearings feel very tight by wiggling the axles. The propeller shaft has a lot more wobble versus the Farm Rig with 300 miles. Still not leaking oil and no sign of water after Saturday's ride which included A LOT of water riding.

Good catch, I need to check mine more often. I know I've seen the post on the magnets for the diff plugs awhile back, but would you care to remind me what your using for those. THANKS

I think his 700 was only rig he ever mistreated. I pity the poor fool that bought that one.

Ok, no rubbing while sitting still and no driver in the front seat. This pic is showing the wheel turned all the way.

I ordered these same wheels and am wondering if the stock lug nuts will work? (from a 1000-5 deluxe)

no, you need taper lugnuts vs the Honda factory rounded nut.

Thanks Neohio, that's what I was thinking but wanted to confirm.

Your local auto parts store sells them as well if you don't want to wait. I got mine from AutoZone for 39.99

Just got her all cleaned up after the Overland adventure.



Had a dent in the rear bumper. It was fairly simple to straighten out.

I found one tie rod ball joint nut slightly loose. I’m sure it would’ve got worse if we had wrote a little while longer.

Then the driver side tie rod was loose at the large nut inside the boot.



No picture of this but I broke another steering stop. That’s the third one I’ve broken, they seem to just shattered into pieces.

 

[joeymt33]

The mud buster fender flares were wrinkled a little bit. I was able to straighten those out with a heat gun.

Here’s the before picture, I didn’t take any after pictures


Also it seems that I damaged some plastic on the passenger side. It looks like a relatively small and easy piece of plastic to replace but I think I’ll leave it for memories.

That's where the dent on my front bumper came from!
