I will check with the Auto Teacher tomorrow about the oil line. Another busy day, the seats are installed (four seats into two). The 2nd CMP tires are for now so that we can move the CMP to be cleaned and undercoated. Gas tanks are sanded so that they can be painted and a steering column brace has been installed as well.

Hey does anyone know what the little rectanglar hole in the steering column is with wires hanging out.

Oh, another painful point is that we have yet to find a flywheel gear ring (139 teeth). NAPA Online (in the US) says they have one but the two stores I contacted (one Canada the other US) say that they can get the part. It is fustrating. Oh and NAPA Online won't let you order from Canada. AHHHHH

The last picture is the 2nd CMP engine which has the flywheel that is bigger, 169 teeth I believe.

Your second engine is a 235 from 1953 and newer.

It's the horn ring contact point. You can get a replacement plate from any jeep parts supplier.

We decided to take a chance. We tack welded the busted gear ring and then heated it up and placed it on the flywheel. Then spent over an hour filing any rough spots and making sure where the brake was that the gap between teeth was not any bigger.

It is now installed...we just need to put the clutch plate back in and the transmission. Then we will see if the engine cranks over.

The CMP was in a bad mood today. The day at Port High started with the starter motor being placed back on to see if the flywheel would work. We crossed our fingers and hoped. We were repaid in kind, it cranked over. Since that worked, lets try the spark plugs....fiddle with the order until we got it right and we have spark!!! Now lets pour some gas in the carb and see if we get a bang.......nothing....again...nothing. Ok, let's try quick start.....we got a bang. But not with the gas.....the spark plugs are bone dry. So tomorrow we try to spray a little gas into the spark plug holes, and hope. If not then we start the process of compression tests and all that other stuff.

Instead of calling it a day the students replaced the clutch plate and put the transmission back on.

Hey Bob

Is that ring gear still available. We tried to repair the old ring gear and it just broke after the engine started. NAPA does not have any and will not have any for a minimum 2 -3 weeks. Even then they might not. Please let me know what it would cost....we only have about 2 1/2 weeks of school left and the students want to get the truck working and the body back on. I don't know if the Post Office is an option because of the chance of strike. Maybe Fedex or UPS.

Default Flywheel....

Will check in the barn tonite....... pretty sure I have a couple....

Best bet is to ship by Grey hound between two sheets of plywood..... you cover shipping the flywheel is free. Will weight it tonite and get a Grey hound quote tomorrow.

The flywheel will not doubt need resurfacing of the clutch contact area by a local machine shop.... just checked Ottawa transmission.....takes about 6 hours and cost is $75.00

If everything checks out will ship Monday a.m.

Hang in there.

Bob C.
