FINISHING TOUCHES, EMERGENCY BRAKE.
Doing fittting to make sure all ($300.00) worth or parts ns pieces all fit one of the tabs broke during assembly
Attachment 5636
Man there's always something to slow you down!
What the heck caused that to break or did it have a flaw in the casting.
I POSTED THIS ON ANOTHER JEEP PAGE CONCERNING KAISER WILLYS
ANOTHER REASON WHY I TRUST KAISER WILLYS.... Had a big uh oh in assembly of the final pieces for the emergency brake while tapping with a 8oz machine hammer one of the ears broke off on one of the brake shoes. immediately emailed Kaiser on a sunday yet. got a note from Mike and he said a replacement will be out the door on monday, He did and i got it today, also said he did not need broken piece back. GUYS THIS IS A FIRST RATE COMPANY THAT BACKS THEIR PRODUCTS 100%, COULD HAVE HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF RECEIPT NEEDED STUFF, BUT DID NOT, MY HATS OFF TO THEM
There is no doubt. My experiences are all the same, professional top notch, customer focused people! I had several things come up during the restore. I could always count on KW.
I will second that Ira, Mike stands behind everything he has and will walk a mile through a fire in a gas suit to help find you what you need!!!!
I’m dumb-founded....

They used to say the rich because they ate cheese and wine. I know a guy who has had trouble with it and said they gave him a pill to take and it really works.
My dad got it and he was a healthy eater for sure! He was treated for it and it went away. He swore it came from his deployment over seas with the KMAG.
Glad you are back on your feet, and out of severe pain! Gout is still around, at least around these parts.

[QUOTE=pelago;11296]AM IN A CRUMMY PO'D MOOD.
Well, go ahead and gripe to us. we're way past getting any feelings hurt.
Gout and shingles are two things I've not had and I'm not ready to get in either line. One part of us says get up and push through the pain - the other part says "Damn, that really hurts". I would be concerned if the "push through the pain" approach would cause some additional damage to joints from the uric acid crystals scraping around on joint surfaces - kind of like shavings under a rod bearing.
I'd give the meds a few days to work on things so you don't end up causing more damage than has already been done.
Get well ...
happy days coming got a husky 16yr old graandsone to crawl under neath the jeep and help with the e brake
This is the way it should be! God bless your grandson!!

III. Dialogue Between Franklin and the Gout
Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
Midnight, 22 October, 1780.
FRANKLIN. Eh! Oh! eh! What have I done to merit these cruel sufferings? 1
GOUT. Many things; you have ate and drank too freely, and too much indulged those legs of yours in their indolence. 2
FRANKLIN. Who is it that accuses me? 3
GOUT. It is I, even I, the Gout. 4
FRANKLIN. What! my enemy in person? 5
GOUT. No, not your enemy. 6
FRANKLIN. I repeat it, my enemy; for you would not only torment my body to death, but ruin my good name; you reproach me as a glutton and a tippler; now all the world, that knows me, will allow that I am neither the one nor the other. 7
GOUT. The world may think as it pleases; it is always very complaisant to itself, and sometimes to its friends; but I very well know that the quantity of meat and drink proper for a man, who takes a reasonable degree of exercise, would be too much for another, who never takes any. 8
FRANKLIN. I take—eh! oh!—as much exercise—eh!—as I can, Madam Gout. You know my sedentary state, and on that account, it would seem, Madam Gout, as if you might spare me a little, seeing it is not altogether my own fault. 9
GOUT.in life is a sedentary one, your amusements, your recreation, at least, should be active. You ought to walk or ride; or, if the weather prevents that, play at billiards. But let us examine your course of life. While the mornings are long, and you have leisure to go abroad, what do you do? Why, instead of gaining an appetite for breakfast, by salutary exercise, you amuse yourself with books, pamphlets, or newspapers, which commonly are not worth the reading. Yet you eat an inordinate breakfast, four dishes of tea, with cream, and one or two buttered toasts, with slices of hung beef, which I fancy are not things the most easily digested. Immediately afterwards you sit down to write at your desk, or converse with persons who apply to you on business. Thus the time passes till one, without any kind of bodily exercise. But all this I could pardon, in regard, as you say, to your sedentary condition. But what is your practice after dinner? Walking in the beautiful gardens of those friends with whom you have dined would be the choice of men of sense; yours is to be fixed down to chess, where you are found engaged for two or three hours! This is your perpetual recreation, which is the least eligible of any for a sedentary man, because, instead of accelerating the motion of the fluids, the rigid attention it requires helps to retard the circulation and obstruct internal secretions. Wrapt in the speculations of this wretched game, you destroy your constitution. What can be expected from such a course of living, but a body replete with stagnant humors, ready to fall prey to all kinds of dangerous maladies, if I, the Gout, did not occasionally bring you relief by agitating those humors, and so purifying or dissipating them? If it was in some nook or alley in Paris, deprived of walks, that you played awhile at chess after dinner, this might be excusable; but the same taste prevails with you in Passy, Auteuil, Montmartre, or Sanoy, places where there are the finest gardens and walks, a pure air, beautiful women, and most agreeable and instructive conversation; all which you might enjoy by frequenting the walks. But these are rejected for this abominable game of chess. Fie, then, Mr. Franklin! But amidst my instructions, I had almost forgot to administer my wholesome corrections; so take that twinge,—and that. 10
FRANKLIN. Oh! eh! oh! Ohhh! As much instruction as you please, Madam Gout, and as many reproaches; but pray, Madam, a truce with your corrections! 11
GOUT. No, Sir, no,—I will not abate a particle of what is so much for your good,—therefore— 12
FRANKLIN. Oh! ehhh!—It is not fair to say I take no exercise, when I do very often, going out to dine and returning in my carriage. 13
GOUT. That, of all imaginable exercises, is the most slight and insignificant, if you allude to the motion of a carriage suspended on springs. By observing the degree of heat obtained by different kinds of motion, we may form an estimate of the quantity of exercise given by each. Thus,

As said before old men and old jeeps leak, that is true in my household, but at least i miss the floor..
Due to my stupidity i never researched teflon tape, never thought i would need it,,, you tighten up a fill hole or drain hole and it stops leaking right????? WRONG..................
GOT UNDER JEEP AND INVESTIGATED, Every single gasket i put in right and tight. every single fill hole and drain hole leaks around the threads.
screw it, let it leak and of course i got maybe a cup full of oil in 3000 miles of driving with the rear main again screw it, bot a whole new motor being brought bsck to new life as we type
Pipe thread is a good conduit for oil to excape to the outside. Teflon tape or loctite pipe dope seals the threads, but allows you to remove the plug during service. Rear main seals are a whole different animal. The rope seal isn't the best design for oil and environment separation.
This is why there is a fill hole and Cake pans!
Attachment 5712
am very confused with number 12, the stop, they show it vertical, and there is a place where it connects to the inside of the apparatus?? But beats hell out of me how it actually goes in and works
FOUR PHOTOS OF THE STOP IN THE SYSTEM, THE PHOTO SHOWS IT VERTICAL, NO WAY DOES IT GO THAT WAY, HORIZONTAL?? LEFT OR RIGHT?? BTFOM??
Attachment 5713 Attachment 5714 Attachment 5715 Attachment 5716
THE PHOTOS THAT SHOW IT VERTICAL ARE MISLEADING, THERE IS A SQUARE CUT OUT ON THE STOP THING, BUT IT DOES NOT FIT ON THE STUB PROVIDED, HOLE TOO SMALL ONLY LEFT OR RIGHT HORIZONTAL
right now it is emergency brake 1 and me zero, darn thing kicking my ***
What is supposed to hold it in place?
Lay everything out in the same manner as the diagram. It will start to make sense. You photos are showing the assembly upside down and flipped. The second of your photos is the correct way per the diagram.
for the sake of discussion, i will call the point where the apparatus swivels as a fulcrum point look at #12, it has square hole does it go onthe fulcrum point hanging down, #6 is the piece tht the fulcrum swivels on and it has square end?? that the point?? where stop goes?
Attachment 5719 Attachment 5720
two views front and back or what is inside and what is outside. is the shiny rectangular piece the stop piece, it all fits in the drum but can not figure out how it stops anything
Maybe to keep the bolt from turning?
found the tm, and pge and description of adj..
however if one reads it they say to adjust anchor pin to set feeler gauge to .0010. and then lock it, but that makes the anchor pin offset, and the one i have is not ofset, and when the stop pin taken off cant turn it anyway
or else i am reading it all crazy
army tm tm 9-8014 para 238 emergency brke adj
have spent many many hours just looking at this, and have had it in and out several times, there is on conspicuous error. do not know how or why, but they make it sound as if the anchor pin is a (sp)eccentric bolt, that is turningit will make the shoe move in and out. does not work that way?? it is not a eccentric bolt completely round no adjust. my plan is to stick it in al thogether and get the .010" adj equal to both ends of outside shoe and lock it, COMMENT??
i really messed up, thinking of forest for the trees deal and "assume" you know *** out of you and me, well me anyway
staring at the actual handle forever i put it in, and if you look at the picture of the handle it realy only goeson one way, due to fct tht the link hole is on one side. yup put the damn thing in backasswards, handle goes back not forward, got to redo it, but got cold again so am sitting on it for a bit
