So we removed the Lynx shifter mechanism on the Shilo Lynx a couple days ago, and have it repaired to as good as new. I moved the Lynx onto the hoist and will re-install the shifter tomorrow. The shifter blocks had worn grooves in the bottom plate, allowing the blocks to turn and run into each other. As such, the gear shift could get stuck either going in or out of a gear. I welded up the grooves, and ground it down to the point where there is no turning of the shift rods. Case solved.

Next on the agenda is a quick brake job. The wheel cylinders are obviously smaller than the standard CMP trucks. Does anyone have the part numbers available from the lynx manual for the wheel and master cylinders? What commercial brake system are they based on? 3/4 ton truck?

The museum likely has the parts manual in the main library, but just in case, I don't want to lose a day looking for numbers.
