thanks...I like that poster and have it.. And I love that jeep..with two tone rims..If I could get mine to look half as good as that one I would be happy. 
but I think maybe I will keep it all orange just to stay true to the original..changed my mind ...now that I read the thread and been thinking about it.

Well, it sure looks good in that photo.  The ball doesn't look worn at all.
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Opened up the transmission I think it looks pretty good.  should I just drain and change fluids?  Hasn’t been driven in over 40 years and stored inside for the last 40 years my grandfather mostly used it to pull the hay wagon “just idled around the field”

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I would run it as is. Looks very clean.

No, somebody put the wrong lube in it. The grease Zerk sort of tells you that. You can do a search to find out how some people have rotated the pins to get a fresh surface to use. The bushings and seal are another matter.
