Finally, I finish off the T-84 Transmission with a new second gear and get repairs done to the cover. Also, some goodies that have arrived in the mail the last few weeks!

After last week’s rebuild of the T-84 Transmission, it’s time to turn the sights to the D-18 Transfer Case with a full rebuild, shimming, and shaft play checking. This one is a bit more complicated than the T-84 as there are a lot more steps that require various things to happen at once. Almost halfway done with the transmission/transfer case restoration/rebuild project!

More axle work

After last week’s excitement, this week was much more calm. This week I continued to clean/disassemble the wartime GPW axles and sandblast various parts documenting F stamps along the way. I also started to restore parts of the emergency brake and checked the PCV valve for carbon/fuel buildup.
