I don’t know why the designers thought mounting the oil filter sideways was a good idea. I much prefer the later style mounted on the engine vertically.
Yes I do have a spare engine. It’s a RCEME rebuilt/crated engine with the Cnd double pulleys. Same setup as used in the Otter. Came from a fellow in New Brunswick. The vehicle is getting lighter for sure. The shop vac is getting heavier though. Did a little bit of work tonight pulling some more parts. The front floor panels are now all removed. I’ve also removed the brake/clutch pedal assembly, the handbrake lever assembly and the transfer case lever. All will be their own restoration projects.

Four shims were found under the brake/clutch assembly. The entire assembly is interesting as it comes off with the removal of 8 bolts. Four hold the master cylinder mounting bracket to the frame and 4 hold the pedal linkage to the frame.

Well it was a beautiful 25 degrees outside today. So taking advantage of this lock weather I decided to get a bunch of my otter parts all painted up.

Jordan, I have some NOS 270 engine parts if you have not already completed a rebuild. Give me a shout for more details.

Hi Bob
Will do sorry just been busy with the family. With my “spare” time I have these days I did manage to get a bunch of the parts reassembled. The transfer case lever, parking brake lever and the master cylinder mount. These will all be stored away waiting for their return to the frame once that’s ready. The last photo is the clutch road with its clevis. It was a nice surprise to come across the KG#3 under all the grime.

Clutch and brake pedal assembly fully rebuilt. Three bushings replaced and everything cleaned up and repainted. One pedal still had its original rubber foot pad. I’ve got NOS ones but they have gone hard. Molding and casting supplies have been ordered to make some new ones.

New pedal pad has been cast. I still have some quirks to work out but it’s getting there.
