Default Now to reconnect the T case levers....

We had to remove the floor and instal the special bracket that bolt on the tranny...... that hold the cross linkage that allows to engage the front axle in 4 wheel drive.

Easier said than done..... it took a lot of adjustments.... as in grinding.... filing with a rat file.... and 4 hands.... thanks to Grant for the extra digits.

Seen from above...... before removing the floor..

Default ...after the floor was removed....

.... now the linkage is in place.... horse shoe shape device that goes underneath the tranny and bolts on both side of the tranny on existing E brake bosses.

Grant got even by dropping cold nuts and lock washer in my open shirt collar...

Default Final picture....with caution....

To instal the bracket that bolts on four places... 2 each side of the tranny.... the bracket has to be dis-assembled and re-assembled in place one piece at a time..... assemble loosely at first as you will need some leeway.... it is like a Chinese puzzle..... sequencing is critical.

Finally the bottom rear most bolt on the back cover of the tranny.... )the one that Henry Moon cautioned us about loose U bolts that can destroy the cover)... that bottom bolt has to be removed and replaced withone about
3/8 in. longer.... and it is open ended DIRECTLY into the sump of the tranny and all that expensive Synthetic oil we poured in 6 months ago.

so you have to be quick and have a helper with you...... I removed said bolt and washer and shoved my big tumb on the hole..... gave the bolt ot Grant above to run to the bin bolt to find a longer one and a new lock washer
( don't worry we saved the old bolt for Rob Clarke who collects and restores bolts)...... remove tumb fast...slip bracket in place and shoved new bolt in.

I think we were saved by the relatively thick viscosity of the tranny oil and only lost about 3 table spoons.
