Well, the sprague clutch blowed up real good, damaged the case even. So, I'm 
looking for a rebuildable 4WD 998 or 999 in or near Colorado. Thanks in 
advance...

That makes (unfortunate) sense. With smaller tires (25") and
a 3.31 axle, it looks pretty nice for a highway hauler:

WA state. 7 counties are looking at disaster relief (Governor asked the Prez 
already) The rain hasn't finished with us yet. We have surpassed the record 
for the month and if next month cracks the record again, we're headed for 
the year's record (within 2 months from way below normal to over the top)
