C60 cwt Signals CZMk IV

[Marc Montgomery]

Beautiful work Gord! Such a rare vehicle...often wish I hadn't sold my own 60cwt.. it used to drive like a dream...although with the 900x20's it was happy at 85-90 kmp, 100 was pushing it. (and really happy at about 50-60kmh. and it too was a rare one, an REL contract and so had the big winch as fitted to FAT's
I only ever used the 4wd twice and on both occasions it was amazing..once when taking it out of storage in a barn across a soft field, I stopped for the gate and it slowly sank. trying to get out with RWD only succeeding in sinking it further up to the diffs...4wd pulled it right out...wow..

BTW- there was a junkyard in Quebec about 15 years ago with a few lindsay bodies (and a few cmps) they were using as storage for parts.. I mentioned it at the time, but dont think anyone else ever went there to save them.. The yard and TONS of parts all gone now...sigh.

anyway.... again beautiful work ! Congrats for saving the piece of Canadian history !! well done that man!!

Previously in this thread I talked about the shifting mechanism for the FWD selector was gone. Seems that is the first thing to disappear off these trucks, never to be found again. Doing nice things for people can be made more rewarding when, in return, they do nice things for you. Here are pictures of a complete tranny with all the parts that I was missing on my truck. Now I'll have to get Bob Carriere to come and show me how to adjust it.

Time consuming yes.........

When you start fiddling with the linkage from the T case tower let me know. The rods going and out of the T case are adjusted by screwing the rods in or out....... however, to adjust you need to almost remove the T case.

One of the rods has a small piece....about 2 1/2 in. long.... with a pin sticking out from each side...... connects the shifter rods to the T case...... will need to dig into my photos to show yo what I mean...... I simplified the design by replacing the two pin part with a homemade version with the two pins on the same.....makes it easy to remove for adjustment without moving the T case.

You may also have to rebuild the holes in the many shifting rods if they have become oval with wear..... tight pin connections helps the adjustment process tremendously.

Hang in there.......
