well yesterday i got the pintle back togheter, and the splash pan on the bottom of the engine bay, then i loosely put the lineand wire hold, and then i figthed whit the darn crossmember for the transfert case, it was hard to align since the other one was really bent out of shape, then today i got the front stearing bar appart, and notice one of my tie rod end was shot, so i tried to get the one on the other truck off but they where putting up a figth, so since it was a hot day i just quitted for the day!
anyhow here are the pics of the day, enjoy! reassembled pintle hook  splash pan  new cross member  tie rod and clean bolts ready to be brushed  stearing bar  paul in beresford

well i finally got tired of playing with the boat and i restarted on the m37 for a change! so i started with the stearing assembly, i took everyting appart, cleaned it , mesured and checked everything according to the book, bougth two new tie rod end and some new leather boots and straps, then i sanded everything down and primed and painted , i changed the black paint for some with a little more ligth in to it as i did not like the last gallon i bougth and the result are good with the ford black! here are a few new picture for every one!
 here you can see the new tie rod taken apart  other side  drag links  drag link guts  all primed! i fidled for 3 day wondering how to get the seized stearing off with out too much damage and save the shaft, i broke the nut, but i found an other one , finally i heated the inside of the tube with the welding tip on the torchs and a bearing puller backward on the rear of the stearing and a hammer!   and the final one, the paint result!  more later!

today i painted the other side of the draglinks and tie rod, then i took my stearing box appart, and clean it some , found out it had a tab welded on the box , so i shoveled a little to get to see the box on my other truck and it was te same exxcept the tab was welded all crooked, so i decided to keep it as it make the box more sturdy and no crak are showing on the casing, must have been a modification by the army, since i found a tag on the box that said it had been rebuilt in september 74 by a mj..., then when i went to install the drag link i found out my new clip where to short ,so i will have to hunt down some proper one..
anyway here are a few pics!  painted drag links and tie rod, i had to mix 3 and a half once of paint to finish it!  and while i am at it here is my mini paint boot!  the stearing box in pieces!  the welded tab on the stearing box  the state of my part truck  a little shoveling  and the same tab is on the part truck , must be a mod made later to prevent the box from cracking  assembled idler assemblie  good fit but thestrap to hold the dust cover are to short...will have toget longuer one  and on the truck to come out again.... paul from sormany now!
