Hey, It's been a few years since i seriously worked on my truck (life got in the way) and I never posted much but spent hours reading this forum and some of you felt like old friends. I decided to mess with the truck again and popped on here for direction and re-reading old posts felt again like hearing from old friends. I hope you all are well.
What Andy said! I understand ALL about life getting in the way (maybe never quite as much as the last few days), but when the dust settles, and we are able to get back to AD's things seem to have a touch of normalcy again. I still visit this forum a few days a week. But it has been slow. I guess I am part of the lack of progress. Be well. And to quote the famous Zig: We need pictures! Mike
I am getting a little dismayed at the lack of response on this forum. Is anyone still alive and kicking?? The diagrams in the Assembly Manual are very vague and conflicting. There MUST be some solution to the transmission locking up into 2nd gear?? I can't help but think the pivot on the bell housing is the key and how the (crank) pivot is mounted as a starting position when the shifting rods are connected. I am going to repost this on some of the more recent posts just to get a reply, Greg
If I'd get notifications of new posts I'd still be here . Sadly I sold my '49 3100 series on and am also getting rather the short end of the worked too hard and wasn't cautious enough stick, I'm still barely working on my oldies but DANG is it ever hard and generates days of lasting pain . I'm currently resurrecting a should have been scrapped 1971 BMW R75/4 Motocycle, I test rode it and WOW ! the frame and forks were still PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, a hard thing to find on any old Motocycle . It now starts & runs, the light all work and it's no longer gushing oil out it's joints like a two wheeled Valdez but it pumps a lot of oil to the spark plugs, this causes terrible misfires and the crappy home made exhaust has air gaps every where it's welded and this of course, causes LOUD AFTER FIRES (misnomer : backfires) that sound like a short barreled .12 gauge shotgun going off..... I hope all here are dong well and I greatly miss the endless help I got here plus the camaraderie .
last pic I take of my 52 currently been a long slow process to getting it rolling again after a long rest which is bad things tend to go bad as I learned the hard way
