T90 and M18 Disassembly

We worked hard today taking our transmission and transfer case apart. Gayle read the instructions while I got my hands dirty. I have yet to get the nut holding the flange on the forward output shaft off. One hundred twenty lbs of torque and 61 years of dirt and grime make it quite a challenge. Here are several links we have found to be very helpful.

Down to the Frame

After several weeks we have done a great job taking the Jeep down to the frame. We are about to the point of having to put it all back together. It is going the take some time. The engine is on a stand and we are about to open the transfer case and transmission. The Pate Swap Meet takes place later this month at Texas Motor Speedway. We plan to check it out. Hopefully we can find a quality source for paint work.
