Finally getting around to working on my CGT

[Stony Smith]

that's more great information on the tranny, thanks -interesting that even with the pitting on the gears they are still fine -mine feels a bit crunchy when I turn it over, I'll clean it up and get some new bearings -good as new.....

Transfer case is good -it's the tower that rusted solid -barley any bold head left on the top -that's this weekends project

Hi Stoney

Now when I encounter this problem of rust on gear teeth I polish them carefully with 3M Roloc Disc finest grit I can get. (I save my old discs after they lost their cutting power to use so they don't cut aggressively)

Then I polish each tooth being careful not to cut in to the metal just smooth and polish the teeth. Slow picky work.

Concerning the transfer shift tower, one of my trucks was rusted the other wasn't the one that wasn't had the entire shift tower filled with grease. That truck had signs of having been wade proofed, cosmoline all over the place, so wonder if filling the tower with grease was part of wade proofing. Did make it a little hard to shift in real cold weather.

Cheers Phil
