I can't wait to see how this turns out, it's gonna be awesome.


If it were me, I'd be tempted to take 2-3 weeks off of work, buy all the stuff I think I'd need, fly up there, throw it in the truck and try to drive it.

How does one refurbish a diff on a moving truck?

Hot swappable vertically mounted diffs and an extra diff on top to transfer between them as necessary.

Be ready with a baking soda paste and a rubber glove or something. Corroded batteries are pretty nasty.

Oh. Can you forward some pictures of the PTO unit?

From what I see in that one image, I'd imagine it has a sleeved pin holding the shaft in the tranny housing, maybe a cotter pin/washer.

Shift lever might thread out?

That was me. I love those socks, I've been wearing that kind for 2 years now, and I have razor callouses that usually chew socks up in 2-3 wearing cycles, but I have yet to chestburst these motherfuckers. Is the blanket itchy? I wasn't sure if it was any good from the pictures but I hoped it was ok. (hiker GX if anyone needs good socks)

Heating and changing the shape of the pitman arm is probably the easiest way to go, but also the most dangerous. I have no idea what steel it is made of or whether it is tempered, but if it is any kind of hardened steel, you will remove the temper and then possibly add a temper that is inappropriate. E.g., it may be too hard/brittle, or too tough/malleable, after you bend it.

There's a good chance it's just mild steel and will be fine regardless, mind you. But I wouldn't bet the driver's life on it.

It's either cast or drop forged going by the picture. Hard to tell without handling it and tapping on it. Probably not cast given the dynamic load, but I don't exactly know how 1940s engineers think.
