Thanks Rick. You the man.
24V ... all the way.
The trick is to have backups of everything that uses current.

👍
Thanks again Rick.
The number of ‘unsolvable’ challenges is shrinking.
For anyone thinking of restoring a war jeep, my nubbie suggestion is to first go find the short list of rare parts. If you can do that and not get discouraged then go find the jeep. 🤪 😁
If it was easy everyone could do it.
If it was easy Ron would have a pleasant attitude and play well with others.

You're one of my heroes Don. Not kidding. Perseverance and fortitude is great stuff. Believe it or not I cheer your success.
Yup, I'm working on playing well with others, but I usually land somewhere in between Moriarty (Kelly's Heroes) "always with the negative waves" and one of the Grumpy Old Men (take your pick). There's no rose-colored glasses for me.
Did I mention my middle name is Richard? But you can call me Dick.
Good luck! _________________ Ron D.

Thanks gentlemen..... I can't decide on which Red Green quote to use.
Later we may form a Mutual Admiration Society.
More pics. A worn lower thrust washer will get some attention. The vertical shaft play is .02" rather than the .01" spec. max.
FYI, 'China' is a county in northern Georgia where inexpensive tools are made.
Here is where the magic happens.
I will go dark for a few days and prepare the battlefield.

(See TM 9-1825B / Section 5/ Group 3/ P.240-248)
Using my HF press and a socket with extender I replaced the upper and lower dist. shaft bushings.
The bushings must also have their two oiling holes drilled. After insertion.
The oil seal was damaged (lost its plastic/rubber insert) when I pressed it in above the upper bushing. I had seated the upper bushing flush with the bore opening. Maybe I should have pressed the upper bushing below the space occupied by the oil seal.
I would like to replace the seal but have not found a source for the part.
Also. Can I use a nail cut to length to replace the shaft collar rivet?

Hi Don,
Looking good on the overhaul!
I'd recommend a slotted spring pin (a.k.a "roll pin") instead of a cut nail. My local Ace Hardware has an assortment in the Hillman bins. _________________ Ron D.
