My buddy's uncle recently acquired this CJ6 project and it might need a blower motor as well. It seems like replaced before as per his initial...

Classic Larry! That is one famous Willys. She shows up front at all the good parades. That red just goes so well with Christmas.

The wizards got it right again. I'm up in Ft. Wayne and you can't get a good appreciation of an old Jeep in the wintertime. Wait for the spring...

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and quick responses.

gm is all over it. I think that is a good way to approach it.

Welcome back Kokomo Joe, If I were in your situation, I would put enough money into it to make it reliable for tooling around. When it warms up...

Perfect for the season

I second the notion Bmorgil.

They are great cards for sure GreyWilz! LarrBeard is the man.

Man, those are so cool!

Welcome aboard, Fester. Were you trying to post a photo?

Continued from above... Quite a few parts cleaned today, well at least the gasket surfaces. More to come.... Hodakaguy

Continued from above... Case numbers

Continued from above... Running a tap through all of the threaded holes.

Continued from above... Picking out any RTV that remains down in the bolt holes.

A bit of cleaning.... Nasty black RTV everywhere.

Yeah was really cool to see that! Was able to source most parts nos...a couple parts will have to be "new" Hodakaguy

NICE! The box has the Toledo Address. Now that NOS place of manufacture is known! During the war and after, parts could have been made in a lot of...

Continued from above.... More parts to come still. Can't wait to start on re-assembly. Hodakaguy

Continued from above... NOS Shift Shafts

Some NOS parts showed up today for the transmission and transfer case....lots more to come! There is something oddly satisfying about opening brand...

Unfortunately most of our parts are pretty hammered, with deep pitting, grooving etc. Just got my first batch of replacement parts in today. ...

I would not worry about the back if it feels like its only got a small amount of radial play. If it is way out it would allow the shift rail to start...

The shift rail is loose in the back of the case, where the case supports the back end of the shift rod. The seal end clearance seems pretty decent. ...

Tom, If you want to keep the original, I would see if a local machinist can put a bushing in the case. .025" clearance will leak. I agree with you,...

Thanks for the reply. The fit through the nose piece is pretty good (I'll have to measure) but the fit in the main case itself is pretty sloppy...

Its pretty tough using snap gauges to get the bore measured to the tolerance. Usually we allowed a min of .001" to .002" loose on all the shift...
