Left over bit

[Phil Waterman]

This was left over after I reassembled the drive train on my 1941 Pattern 12 C60L, I’m hoping that it did not come from the Chevy, does anybody recognize this part?

[Col Tigwell]

Could it be a snap ring off of one of the bearings.

If you replaced the bearings, should already be on the new one, which would account for you have this one left over.

Sorry I do not know more, but it was just a thought.

It looks like the snap ring from the front hub.

Phil
The gearbox input shaft and the output shaft bearings have these clips to locate the bearings in place .
The clips are located in the housing as per diagram .

You may be able to remove the gearbox top cover and look in to see if the clips are in place .
All the best.

Thanks for the ideas-

Think I'll start with Jims suggestion that it could be from the transmission, that one I can check without major disassembly engine and transmission are still set up on the test stand so it is easy to pop the top of the transmission and check for the bearing snap rings.

I'll have to check the exploded parts view to see if I can narrow it down.

What else have you got left over.....

The tranny ring should be smaller than the wheel hub retainer ring......

I have both apart... tellme your size and I will show you mine.... I mean will confirm the dimesions of the tool.. I mean ring....

Must be the cold medication I have been taking....

Hi Bob

Thats why I put the part on top of the ruler in the picture (Couldn't resist pulling your leg) the ring is approximately 4 3/4" diameter 1/8" thick.

Checking against yours would sure save me disassembly and gaskets.

Thats all that is left over from the drivetrain the shelves pretty much bare in that section.

DUH......

Stup making fun of sick people......

..... I shall drag my feverish body over the cold snow all the way to the unheated barn and check out the measurements for Phil...

.......Alex wait 'til I see you at Gracies'...... I'll get even!!!!

That snap ring must fit the front hub........

Openings on front and back of tranny is 3 1/8 and 3 5/16

....but is the right size for the front hub...... fits inside the hub......behind the outer bearing race....... So now you know!!!!

Didn't realize that I have about 6 inches of fresh snow around the barn..... its snow blower time again......

According to the parts manual these are referred to as shims and come in sizes of .005 to .045......... and if so are probably part of the bearing preload that must be adjusted...... my MB-C2 is unfortunately in the barn..... and I ain't going back there right away....!!!!!

The snap ring I'm thinking of is the one that holds the inner wheel bearing in position on a C15 but I haven't measured one to be sure.

Hi Max

How do you guys ever develop character when you have no snow???

...... and I have got the sniffles to boot....

I think we are talking the same thing........ I beleive the front hub has two and they hold the bearing race in place..... wonder why the parts manual is not more specific....... and calls them shims???

Well rumor has it that Spring is only some two months away!!!!!

Will know for sure when Phil goes for a drive and the front wheel falls off........

Bob

[Phil Waterman]

I've checked the transmission, easy lift the top off, and both of those snap rings are in place, so now on to the more difficult.

Thanks for the help, I'll keep you posted.

Bob

you people have snow and cold that send you indoors we have the heat and wind that sends us indoors to make the characters that we are, but the best character builder of all is to go on a long trip in a blitz whether it's in the high country or the desert where you develop a real close bonding with your vehicle and having breakfast with vegemite on toast by the camp fire helps.

[Bob Carriere]

I maintain that it is psychologically impossible for a human being to bond with an inanimate object...ie Blitz.....

..... my wife totally disagrees..... she says I have already bonded to the barn and old rusted trucks....... ie CMPs

Bob:

Would that be "pein" or "pain" dans les fesses?

If the second, I pray for you that it is not a baguette!

Hi Mike

In one of my lighter moments....... I signed as Bobby Pein to be read as ...bobepine(should have an accent on the first "e")..... which phonetically in colloquial French Canadian is the little springy hair pins that ladies (circa 1945) used to hold the curled up hair while it dried and set..... said bobepine was a tool of many use to fix things, clean your ears or pick a lock....

.......bobepine was also a common nickname and was featured in a Quebec rock and roll song of the 60s......

As to the baguette I prefer them fresh with hard butter and a sip of red wine.......

Next time at Gracie's I will get you!!!!!
