It has a vent on the top right side. You can see it in this pic. Edited by jeepsterjim - 23 Feb. 2020 at 4:33am |

Would that be where the vent goes? I have a mid 60's Transfercase and it has a big vent unit on the top. |

Picked up a D-18 X-fer, late model, and noticed it has a hole in the top of it. Is this normal for a late X-fer? The hole goes all the way into the case. This X-fer comes out of a '71 CJ-5
X-fer appears to be a big mouth case....here are the numbers I found on it. Edited by jeepsterjim - 23 Feb. 2020 at 3:38am |

Jim,
I like your build-thread and all those new "parts-finds" you've acquired. Well, you certainly do have ScoutPilot fired-up with that Carter YH side-draft. You let me leave last month after lunch without the draw-bar. :( But, i will be down your way again to visit the boys. I will get some more Cast Iron welding practice because i took my GPW engine block to the machinist for hot tanking and inspection. OMG, not only does it have a crack above the distributor hole, but also a 5-inch long crack below the distributor hole also. He said they normally crack below. You are so lucky to live where you do, and have a ready-supply of used jeep parts always coming up for sale within a 50-mile radius. (Rubicon Country) yep. I will be by again, and hope to see you before the snow flies !! Len |

Time to come back to my project page and make use of it.
I have cleaned up the 2nd Dana-44 19 spline off set diff and it looks good for building up. I still need to tear down the Power Lok for inspection. All in due time. All the bearings are worn and need replacing. Along with the seals. QUESTION: Want to purchase quality bearings and seals, such as USA made Timken bearings. Who has them? You maybe? This diff needs ALL bearings and seals. THANKS, JIM

I agree. Honestly thought the guy was bringing me a Holley 190? Think I will talk with Scout Pilot and see what it might take to rebuild it and maybe tweak it some. If not, it's certainly a conversation piece. The adapter looks well made. Wonder if it was used on another set up. Jim

Meet a Jeepster Commando Pick Up guy awhile ago and we ended up telling stories which led to finding out he has a nice M38 that will be getting a V-6 stuffed in it. He mentioned that someone installed a F head in it with an odd carb set up that he removed and went back to the stock carb which led to having to put a hood scoop on.
I figured the ODD carb would of been a Holley 190???? and I would be glad to trade Commando parts for it. Here is what he brought me. CARTER SIDE DRAFT YH CARB POSSIBLY FROM A EARLY CORVETTE. This is the Carter side draft carb and 90 degree elbow mod that's used on the F head when installed in a flat fender/hood Jeep. Never seen one before. Not sure if I will use it but it's cool to place on the shelf. Edited by jeepsterjim - 12 July 2019 at 12:19am |

Coffee is brewing! Can you smell it? it's the axle/gear oil blend. PLEASE do come by, lunch on me! We can tell stories, LOL I did find a lot of jeep parts. Some for the 2A and the rest for trade or sell. Nice part is I have stuff to sift through for the "MONEY" pit. I found two other late style bell housings so the cracked one can remain cracked or trade. Motor mount idea came from bkwudz, Paul F. It should work well. My summer goal is to find all the big parts for the 2A and get them built and ready to install this fall. Jim Edited by jeepsterjim - 04 July 2019 at 7:13am |

OMG ! _ _ _ your Willys parts-prospecting has his Pay-Dirt. :)
If you keep gathering you'll have to start piling-it-up. hahahaha So, now I am going to have to stop by my next trip to Sacramento. We'll have coffee while on "parts-tour" right ! I have run a model 20 amc rear in 4:10 forever with the 304 and T-18 6.3:1 with no problems what-so-ever. (before hitting the Rubicon trail, I would put a 3/4 breaker bar with 36-inch cheater pipe and give it a few Bounces for tightness, me standing on the cheater). :) Hey, bring that bellhousing up to me and I will weld it, or braze it. Or did you weld it already ? When talking to my dad the other day, age 91, same as Norm the engine builder at Jimmy Strauss Jeeps, and we were talking welding Cast Iron, he told me that of all the mech's in town that he knew had good success welding cast was that they used a Cast-Rod. no flux, just bare cast rod. Just like the old trick of using 2-12v batteries and a coat-hanger. yep I have a YouTube video bookmarked where the guy broke the flux off of 7018 rod and welded cast iron successfully. Jim, nice work there guy on your innovative motor mount to be able to access the fuel pump bolts. I looked at my '46 pump bolts and because of the mount lip facing to the rear, the mount-bolt sticks up in the way of Access. What time is Coffee ! Len |

OK, I picked up the late salad L-134 motor for future rebuild but I came across other parts that I simply could not refuse to get.
Parts came out of a 1974 CJ-5 with 304 V-8. Owner gutted most of the drive train for rock crawling upgrades. He did keep the 304 block. All 4 - CJ-5 springs, 304 V-8 fan, air cleaner, and intake Rear hitch, 1/4 panels, 3 of 4 11" drums, tow bar. exhaust manifolds, steering assembly, spring plates, and motorcraft carb 304 B/housing, T15 trans, D20 X-fer, oil canister, dash pad, and cam Dana 44 centered rear diff Dana 30 narrow track frt. diff Main items I want to use are the steering assembly and the D 30 Frt. end. Most parts will go on CL or trade for ? Not a bad day. Jim |

The springs are just a bit stiff when the Jeep's load is light, but with a little weight they're good enough for me. I don't know how you would put a military wrap on them. I think they're strong enough to not need that anyway.

Swapped parts for a D-30 narrow track front diff and a 20 rear diff today. Had to take both or nada
Will rebuild the 30 and find a home for the 20. Anyone have NOS 5:38 ring and pinion? rebuild kit? locker? for a D-30. |

Mike How have they worked for you? Would you put a military wrap on them? I lucked out on obtaining these, and was able to trade Jeepster Commando parts for them. A win win for him and me. Jim
