As I mentioned before the loose timing gear had worn the key and keyway.
I could see wear on the key,so I hoped that the good used key would be tight.. It wasn't the cam shaft keyway was worn! Not only that but the keyway in the crankshaft had a slight amount of wear Well I had nothing to lose!! So I went full bubba on it.... I got some sleeve retainer made by locktight, And took a punch to the crank shaft Oh come on don't look so shocked it's not like I WELDED the crank gear to the crankshaft!!! I did think about welding it Back together and no more terrible clattering I was still having trouble with the motor pulling down real bad,I could hold the throttle open in one place and it would gain rpm and then suddenly die back to an idle? I thought oh great the timing is jumping around! At this point I was thinking I should of welded that gear! I thought I better check the choke, so I removed the air cleaner tube. It smoothed right out and ran great!! Set it back on, immediately choked down..... What in the world! Well turns out the small after market air cleaner had most of the paper pleats collapsed and plugged even though it only had a couple hours runtime on it. Was relieved it was such an easy fix. Test run to NAPA for a new air cleaner. Edited by Flatfender Ben - 23 Dec. 2017 at 7:19pm |

We where working on his latest project, A 1947 cj2a that hadn’t been driven for close to 40 years. After getting it running it was time for a quick test drive... oh wait no brakes!! A(slow test drive)!! Now back in the shop for a quick paint job and brakes. Look for this jeep on a flatfender adventure in 2018!!

Ben,
I think you need to bring Desert Dog down to Moab for Easter Jeep Safari. We need to know how those tires perform on the red rock. It would be a service to mankind. Just sayin’

(U tube channel We’ve talked about it, problem is neither of us are tech savvy! I sometimes find myself so focused on getting good shots while on adventures, that I forget to enjoy the jeeping. I’m trying to find a good balance, we decided we need a full time camera crew Edited by Flatfender Ben - 31 Dec. 2017 at 6:03pm |

My Desert Dog 1946 cj2a Dad's (Red jeep) as we call it. 1949 cj3a Clint's m38 Billy's m38 Desert Dog at home in a rock pile! Upper part of dads mining claim. Serious pay dirt here!!!... Ok maybe just some small gold specks. Anytime in a flatfender is pay dirt to me! This is some beautiful country! Climbed our way up to the top of a mountain. This is my favorite picture from the trip |
