Re: 1942 Ford GPW #20385883 rebuild
It turned out great, It was a problem with the Syncro. Howard invited us over to his house. After we arrived he tore it apart, we found out it was a problem with the keys and springs. We filed little here and there, put it back to gether and it works great. This weekend we are going to a big Vietnam reenactment tactical when I return I will install it and get some pics up. I need to build a rotisserie for the body. Do know anyone with three engine stands or a rotisserie?

The stand isn't working for you?

Yes, the stand will work. I need a rotisserie for all the repair work that needs to be done. If you have ever tried to weld upside down you will know that It is a good way to get burned. I will use the stand after the welding is complete.

Took a break from the Jeep for awhile. I'm back with pics of the 4LB. axe I restored and cut down for my jeep. I also stamped 'US' on the end to give it that real feel. The pictures next to the axe are of originals. I think my axe is good for my reenactor jeep?

Craze....looking good!
FYI....on your transfer case.....the two anti-rattle springs that are mounted with the two shift levers go on the OUTSIDE of the levers on your jeep....not BETWEEN them.

The Ford transfer case assembly is from a GP. Note the shift levers are on the left hand side of the case.
So since the GP came before the MA which drawing / view did Willys use for the MB ?
1 - A modified version of the MA ( note the MB view now has the grease zerk for the shifter pin added )
2 - A modified version of the MA which was a reverse of the GP.
3 - GP used a reverse view of a MA assembly
4 - Both Ford and Willys used a Spicer view and in the case of the Ford GP just flipped the view
