Drove the shorter bushing in deeper, no change, will be fooling now with shims and see if that helps

He has a great PDF catalog there on that link. I think to get a bolt in set of lift springs for a 3A, you are going to have to find a custom...

Thanks for the information. I found thejeepsterman.com offers American made springs as well.

---------The bushing (shorter one) is flush with the box case, but im going to drive it in a bit more, not enough to block oil hole but in as much as...

The natural tendency is for the sector shaft to "climb" the worm gear and push out against the adjustable stop. The sector shaft has three high...

B, as you rotate the worm gear the Spector shaft moves back and forth, at some point it moves in and out resulting in hitting cover. Looking closer...

Cajun, Did you replace the wood in your hat channels?

Hello Earl! A lot of guys have lifted them a lot of ways. If you want to do it with springs, I would use a set of lift springs designed to fit it...

Steve, all is good until you put the cover on? When you turn the input without the cover on does it work the way its supposed to or, does the sector...

Thanks gmwillys! Excellent info.

Today also marks the day that world war 1 ended, Nov. 11 1918 the Germans surrendered. Thank you to all those who have served, who are currently...

God bless them all and their families. What a gift. Freedom is definitely not free. The most expensive cost of The United States of America.

Welcome Randybee1 I'm a little late to the party, but here is one of the best diagrams that I had in my archive of nearly worthless knowledge: ...

Old Jeeps or anything that has been around the block a few times has the potential to be troublesome when it comes to wiring harnesses. In northern...

Connectors on wiring harnesses are a perpetual weak point. GMWillys can speak to that on things other that old Jeeps. I put a replacement wiring...

I agree with the comfortable shoes! Always be prepared for weather changes as well, you never know how long you'll be. Well I dug into the wiring...

The cap of the master cylinder is vented so as the volume of fluid decreases in the master cylinder as the pads/shoes activate, wear, and fluid...

bmorgil, you're right .... Thank you LarrBeard, very good info!!! I still do not understand the theory behind venting the master cylinder. Its a...

I think you will find the link LarrBeard posted is as good as you will find. The Master Cylinder is vented and could take on water if submerged.

Thanks Guys, I have all 5 manuals. I haven't seen a good description (yet) of the vacuum lines/vent lines. Still trying to digest all this new info....

Welcome RandyBee! LarrBeard has you on the right track. Here is a link to the Tech section of this forum for the Engine/Clutch Military manuals on...

RandyBee: Welcome to the forum. Your M38 had a fairly complex fording system of lines and vents that went to the gas tank, brake cylinder,...

Congratulations - you just learned that the three tools you need with an old Jeep are penetrating oil, a small hammer/heat gun and patience. Bubba...

Hello- after 3 days heating the block with a heat gun and spraying wd40 around the shaft it came loose. Had to also tap it with a hammer and use an...
