My CMP restoration

[Jon Bradshaw]

I got the black tool box and the truck box but left them in Onoway until I have room for them. Since I am doing a water truck they are extra and not important to me right now.
Funny the truck has made quite a few trips since the end of it's "useful life".
It went from Regina to Yellowknife to Onoway AB and I am taking it to Picton ON this summer once it is done. I wonder where it will go after me?

[Gordons]

I'm sure the F15A will look great as a water truck, those tool boxes are very hard to find so hang on to them, the black one is off the early composite (CKD) Complete Knock Down, 2H1 body, built to save space for shipping

I have taken the transfer case off and will need to take it apart to replace all the oil seals on the drive shafts. They all seem to leak at least a bit and since it is off I might as well do them all. The darn thing is quite heavy to carry....
Does anyone have the seal numbers for these? I am sure one of you out there has cross referenced the old number with new ones?
I have also taken the filter to a local metal fab shop to see what they can do to make me a set of tops for the filter cans. The fuel tanks I got with the truck are not bad but for this one where I plan to try driving it on the road I am having them make stainless fuel tanks for it. These will last as long as I own it and never give me issues with corrosion. A bit pricier than doing the sealant swish in the tank but a lifetime fix, so worth it to me. I have more CMP's with rustier tanks so these fuel tanks won't go to waste.
For the filter pumps does anyone have the experience of stripping them? Mine seem to be very well stuck and will not pump at all. I see they are all brass except the pin holding the handle which is solidly stuck in.
I will take them apart and try to replace the leather seals but since they likely won't ever pump water it is a moot point.
The hose for the pump and tank is a very heavy rubber 3/4 inch ID and 1 1/4 inch OD I am looking into finding that now, so that I can have the 30ft on hand to do it up once I get to that point.
Still no luck finding good solid old brass taps for the back where the troops get the water out.

I don't have one to take apart but the attached photos may help you, if you haven't already seen them. Looks like you need to remove the lever cam in order to get the piston out.

Thanks Owen I have one of those pics but not the cutaway view one of the lever cam action. As I said above the cam retaining pin is solidly stuck rusted in place. I may have to press it or drill it out. By the looks of the cutaway there is no way to access it from the ends to take it apart otherwise.
Still looking for the oil seal numbers if anyone has them?

Stopped off at a bearing shop today.

Myself and the guy behind the counter measured up the seals and shafts and came to the following modern parts. Parts are ordered and I should have them tomorrow morning.

Transfer Case
Modern oil seal part number is SKF 19360 QTY3
Speedi Sleeve is SKF 99193 QTY 3

Bearings as listed in the parts manual.
Timken 332. QTY 6
Timken 339. QTY 5
Timken 342-S. QTY 1
Timken 14274 QTY 2
Timken 14137 QTY 2

That number is good for the generic seal size. For example, if you want to go for traditional leather seals instead of modern neoprene, then the Chicago Rawhide part number is CR 19360.

The other seal used on the transfer case is for the shift shaft CR 5510 (or SKF).

I saw that thread after I posted last night. I took the seals off today and they are all the same size. I am looking at the paper gaskets in behind them and will likely trace and cut them out of gasket paper. Strange only one of them had a steel gasket plate the other two just had paper. Will make tracing very easy....
The second strange thing about them was that the three plates were all held on by different sized bolts. 13mm, 14mm and 15mm I thought this was strange but maybe it is like that on all of them?
