Keep it up! I gotta get the motivation to do head gaskets, it's desert season. Then hopefully paint when winter start to warm back up in a few months.

Status is still the same. Still on my desk waiting for play-around time. Current work situations don't look promising but I'll see if I can make some time. Keep reminding me.

Bang around a little bit, listen for buzzing while ready to evacuate....repeat a few times.

I would pull the plug out of the center of the hydraulic head on the injection pump (looks like a gas engine distributor) and soak with penetrating oil like Kroil for a day or two so that hopefully the plunger doesn't stick and the button come off the bottom.

Gonna swap the IP?

Kevin, did you get it running good? Been hitting 118f and a bit humid here lately.

pretty sure goodwithwood has access to a ton of them.

Bump

How about diagnosis of the braking cone areas?

I run a machine and welding shop and am pretty handy. I replaced all the bearings, main and 2nd in mine (thanks in part to your bearing list). Should have investigated wear more while I was in there. Do it again...

How about inspection related to the function of the braking action/ease of shifting? I have three trucks and my best trans (in the '70) is mediocre about ease of shifting, but I have no other trucks around to reference for "feel". I generally double clutch it because I don't like to force...

Along the same lines...I'm sure it's in a TM, but what does one look for in synchro wear? Thanks

Yeow! No thanks. Boots n jeans for me here in the southwest.

...so is the ratio actually different?

Picked up and trans and some small bits from goodwithwood, good guy.

Winfred, cool! When dragging trees and junk, it helps to back up close, hook the chain to the dragged object as low and tight as possible, and as high as possible on the tow vehicle. Decreases friction on the dragged and increases for the dragger. :-)

Jatonka is the expert on these and I messaged another gent who had one as well.

More interesting. M764 https://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m764.php

Yes, low heat should help draw in the penetrating oil. Then lots of light tapping and a strap wrench. Patience. This reminds me, I need a slave cable...

Yeah that was a quick one for a guy on FB one night.It's blazing hot here now, I can't think with the sun burning my bald head so it may have to wait for winter.
