Ok got into trying to fix some of the oil/transmission leaks, trouble shoot a hum when it was in neutral.. Graphite throw out bearing was cracked, replaced that and worked on the clutch. It had some play in the drive shaft, got into the transfer case and transmission (all of the bearings were blued and crappy), looks like it was ran without oil for a short period of time, so either the bearings were shat to begin with or someone forgot to put some oil in it when it was originally put back together, ran it like that, then put oil in it "not a happy camper", since when it was opened up, there was no metal shavings...to make more insult looks like they just decided to put back the crappy gears and sell it as restored. So Now I am looking for 2 transfer case gears, #5 and #16 transfer case parts for the HSC. Info from plate F4 (5) wheel gear spur 23 teeth sliding (16) wheel gear spur 41 teeth intermediate. Wondering if these are still available? And if these were used in the Humber Heavy Utility, Super Snipe etc...

I know what it is worth, believe me....unfortunately the HSC will be on the market.... I will let it out of the bag when it happens, the only reason it will go is because of the Big D (marital assets). Joe was getting information for the 2nd party (possible value for liquidation) and is acting as an independent 3rd party only. They are not the POC on the vehicle.

Mo...

First event out, had some teething problems, but overall was a good time.....

Thanks Niels :cool2:, Yes it is wrong, the wire cutters go there and a smatchet goes on the roof, I haven't had the opportunity to fix the roof holder for the smatchet. That is actually a WWI repro smatchet (US version) which is very similar to a Brit one, minus the correct carrier. I decided to throw it there,,,didn't have my wirecutters handy at the time.

Have to finish up the brakes, do a few more small items and fire up the engine in the next few weeks and trouble shoot anything that comes up...So she is about 98% done now :nut:..... 2 plus years and counting!!!!

Band of Brothers' soldier dies at 90 in US 1LT Lynn "Buck" Compton Easy Co, 2/506 PIR 12/31/1921-2/25/2012 BURLINGTON, Washington (AP) — A veteran whose World War II exploits were depicted in the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," has died, his family said. Lynn D. "Buck" Compton died Saturday in Burlington, Washington, after having a heart attack last month, the family told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/AmfhYe ). In January, nearly 200 guests, including actors from the miniseries, attended his 90th birthday party, the Skagit Valley Herald (http://is.gd/XScV1b ) reported. Lynn Compton also is remembered for his legal career in California. He headed the team that prosecuted Sirhan B. Sirhan for the slaying of Robert F. Kennedy.

The wiring is from the east coast of the USA, I live in the states, I will check with my mech. and get the contact info. Also the wiring that I am using is not correct for the vehicle, it would of been cloth covered (black) the wiring I am using is cloth covered, but chose to use different patterns/colors to trouble shoot any wiring/electrical issues down the road.
