New Hampshire CMP Barn 2011- 2012 HUP Overhaul

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Over the last week or so I've been busy on the HUP over haul, disassembled and inspected transfer case, transmission, rear brake drums, and today started on the body.

I've clean up and added to my overhaul web pages http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.c...20Page%202.htm

No real problems with the transmission only real work was welding back a little material on the reverse lock out, which was surprisingly worn. One comment I will make to anybody planning to work on your transmission. Before you remove the cover put the transmission in the neutral position before you unbolt it and lift it off. Then take a good picture of the position of the shift forks and of the position of the gears. Saves time on reassembly because there is not a picture in most manuals.

Of the 4 rear wheel bearings only one needs to be replaced as the race is slightly pitted, only one roller has a mark on it. Plan to replace the race and the bearing as a set.


The pictures below though show today's project rolling the body on it's side in the bed of C60L.

Cheers Phil

Is your life insurance fully paid up...?

I know you are careful but still.... that is quite a task for one man...!!!

On the tranny..... usually takes me hours to re-assemble a tranny... and then I usually have a spare one to peek into for guidance but I usually get it right with the forks...... A while back a friend of Rob cameover to help Rob reassembled his tranny.... being a mechanic he had it reassembeld in a few hours. A few weekends later when we installed the tranny onto the bellhousing we found we could not shift gears....... had to remove the cover and realign the forks inside the two sliding shifting parts......

Taking your time has it's advantages....
