Default Before and after cleanup- F15-A transfer case

Good Day,

Thought I might add these for interest. The before and after cleanup of the above transfer case.

I've acquired 3 of these cases over the years and this is by far the filthiest.
I never saw so much mud and grease on either of the others.
Having said that, the crud did a good job of preserving it. After a lot of putty knife work and kerosene and brush a decent case appeared underneath it all.

Of interest it seems to be painted Khaki Green over a grey undercoat. The other two I have only have grey paint on them. Not knowing if the other two are older or newer it is hard to say when a change may have occurred as both were donor parts. This transfer case is from a confirmed 1943 truck.

Cheers,
