I use a hand inpact screw driver and three lb drilling hammer. Always use antiseize when reinstalling the screws. make next removal easy.

I use mine in the wood all the time it still equipped with the 9.00 x 16 NDT tires. It will go in some places my 79 cj-7 can't go and vice versa because of length and turning radious.

Do you have the original engine and trans combo? Or has your been replaced with say an automatic? If so you have a flex plate inplace of the flywheel, inwhich case the ring gear is welded to the plate. If in fact you do have the original flywheel you simply cut the old gear off . Heat up the new gea...

I too have been very busy lately and have not had a chance to get on line. Now that Deer season is over I am back. Priorities you know.

Mine served with the USFS than was sent to South Saulty volunteer FD in Alabama. I called and spoke with the Chief had a long conversation about the truck.

A worn distributer drive gear or cam gear could result in mistimed engine which could show up as a knocking, skipping, dieseling or other noise. Also check your distributer cap for cracking or tracking. Tracking is a build up of c...

For a propperly seated valve you will need to hand lap irreguardless of wether three angle or single. Each valve should be lapped to its matching seat. This will remove any small high spots or grinding grooves left over from the stones. Also the lapping compond must be cleaned from both valve and se...

The way I do is to first apply brake to slow truck wheel speed than ingage clutch shift from third to neautral release clutch give some throttle engage clutch shift to second release clutch You should notice an increase d...

A couple of needed items include a good lever type grease gun, Drain pan, funnels, gear oil bucket pump manual of course. good light and smoth hard surface to work from. Also I prefer to use oil adsorbant mats instead of oil dry. Having been involved in heavy equipment repair business for 20plus yea...
