Jeepdan's tornado teardown

[jeepdan]

The manual tells to hold the tensioner back with the fabricated tool, but doesn't give any measurements for one

Anyhow, after some fiddling around for awhile, I came up with a 1/4"x 2 1/4" long piece of a wooden paint stirring stick.
It worked fine, and was able to remove from the outside with a pair of needle nose pliers.



Timing all set, ready for the cover.

Yea, that's my military CJ3B.
Cramped for room, I have to keep a conscious effort to not to hit it with anything while working.

nice work, wish I had money to overhaul a 230.

was the high hood a Navy Service or actual M606? Navy service are little more common in the states and don't have all the M606 features

This link to the CJ3B Page will answer your questions about the jeep, and it's restoration by me.

thanks for the link, I have a Navy 3B awaiting restoration-most definitely needs as much body work as yours did

Hey Dan It may be taking a little longer than planned but perfection does take time. Absolutely beautiful work.
I have to say that is THE nicest looking truck restoration I've ever seen.
A hands down show-winner.
