Dipstick, I don't do to bad unless I have to lay down on the concrete and work with my hands over my head. Like installing front axle dust boots. But I got both front wheels done, one yesterday, and the other today. It used to be about a 4 hour job several years ago. Now I know why so many of...

Please do.

Dipstick, I had to drill the holes in the support rails. I haven't modified the plastic BB in any way.

Dipstick, I'll be 67 in a couple months. My arthritis always reminds me how much I dislike this job. What I dislike even more is knowing the job needs to be done, and not doing anything about it. So I have to get with it like it or not. We have the big MVCC gathering the last week of April 2021...

Dipstick, the BB came as pictured. I had to drill two holes in the BB support rails so the handles could lock down as pictured. Then the diaper pins lock the handles. When installed, check the backside of the BB to make sure all the cables are routed properly. (not chaffing)

One of the jobs I hate to do every 2 to 3 years.....front axle dust boots and clamps. If someone made dust boots that would last several years, he would be a Millionaire. (y)

Dipstick, I also had a metal BB that rusted through. So I got one of the newer plastic boxes a couple years ago, and all is well. I got the data stickers from either Bigmike or on e-bay.

#1 My M38A1 arrived home from Central California in 2017, and she was in worse shape than I thought. #2&3 Once I started going through the Jeep I found that it had a Commercial Jeep F-134 engine. So I started correcting things by replacing the Carter YF carburetor with the correct Carter YS950S...

Common guys git your M/Vs entered. Your driving Papa Bear to drink!!

waayfast, love your wrecker. Question, right behind your wrecker with a cooling fan, is that a radial engine from a Sherman tank???

Come on folks enter your M/V now, Papa Bear's getting an attitude.

Got the wheel cylinder replaced, everything cleaned up, and the wheels back on. Took it for a 30 mile run and all is well.

Dipstick, you can pick up the spring in Franks post from one of our vendors, Part Number 7539129 NSN 5360-00-753-9129 Spring Helical. If all else fails you can find them on e-bay.

Good idea. I had one break several years ago. Not a pleasant experience.

The TMs are the best place for information. I would love to have a couple of NOS front fenders to salt away, along with some hoods & hard tops.

A couple of very nice M38s entered. Guess I'll throw the M38A1 into the fray.

You are absolutely right. Good job!

Good idea Mike. Mike, while your at it, also check your flex lines for signs of cracking or leaking.

Mike, I had a wheel cylinder leaking. I was fortunate to have a Lockheed Wagner wheel cylinder salted away. Also replaced the inner and outer hub seals, the flange hub gasket, and the little square cork gasket, then repacked both bearings. Will adjust the brakes, and put the wheels back on...

Doing a little rear axle brake service yesterday and today. I borrowed the tie down strap idea to support the brake drum from one of our members son, who using the strap while packing wheel bearings on his dad's truck. Sure saves wear and tear on my back and shoulders. Thanks' young man!
