    Front axles locked

    That is what I am going to do today. Clinto made the same comment earlier. I just picked up a driveable 43 Jeep frame and drive train. I am going to build this one first and push the 42 aside for a later build. Thanks to everybody for your help.

    Front axles locked

    Sorry, I forgot to post an update, thanks for reminding me. I pulled the cover and cleaned out all the goop (hardened grease and sludge) What I found is the Pinion Gear is locked. The teeth on the ring and pinion and the spider gears look in good condition. It appears the pinion gear has a...

    M151-A1 Transmission problem

    I just received a 1966 M151-A1. The transmission will not go into second gear. All other gears are not a problem. No raking or grinding occurs when shifting into any gear except second. It grinds and will not engage. The previous owner replaced the top cover suspecting that possibly a fork...

    New guy in town

    Just wanted to say hi to all you Dodge fans. I just found this forum and it looks like I've found a treasure chest of knowledge here. I own a 1942 WC-54 that I restored beginning in 2003, it is about 95% complete now. I look forward to talking with all of you. Greg
