Re: Restoring Rusty
You guys never give up. Good job...discussion, ideas, shared e-documents and scavenger search for old parts as well as assembly of new parts. Oh and all that with miles between us all.

a better man would have separated these two pieces, taken the clutch pedal completely apart, but hey "IT'S A TRUCK!!!"
first pic - original custom Rust Patina second pic - after using a 4" angle grinder with a wire brush third pic - brushed on some Phosphoric acid to get into nooks and cranies fourth pic - not drying paint inside the house on our beautiful hardwood floor, honey |

with all the pedals and linkage bits drying it was time to move on to the transmission
first we used the "skateboard" as my daughter calls it to relocate it to the triage facility |

took off the rubber padded bracket that holds the transmission to the cross member, in order to clean both pieces more better
making a mental note that it goes back on there a certain way, seems like it sits closer to the passenger side as it is a bit off center by design |

as I was knee deep in operation code name "SM465" I recalled that when I drained the juice out of this iron mellon and shoved my finger in the drain hole I felt some shrapnal
that's it I thought, to take this beast out and not take a peak inside that would be criminal so out came the shifter so I could shove it half way into reverse, that is the open sesami for taking the lid off |

to be honest with you all, I removed the top case off the transmission because I was skierd to take off the sides, you see I looked at so many transmission pics and diagrams, somewhere along the way I got confused into thinking the sides are attached to linkages and rods and clips that when undone I would never git back into place
I am happy to find out that is not the case and that the side panels are just for inspection / cleaning if you will and let me tell you this transmission is as simple as it gets, and very well put together, simple and strong but as I went to remove the second side cover, that's when she drew blood, hmm maybe I'll dub this the Busted Knuckles Garage |
Re: Restoring Rusty
The old knuckle buster, eh? I tend to wear gloves doing jobs like that these days, I'm tired of cutting up my hands. That and my wife laughs at me when I need yet-another bandaid.
Those side covers are for PTO. The 465 has them on both sides, whereas the earlier SM420 only had a PTO port on one side. As you can see, the gearing is pretty brawny. The straight cut gear is first. I have the same transmission in my 77. Sure, it shifts like a truck tranny, but I like it. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
"Power Take Off" An assortment of devices could be driven from a gear box that bolts to the side transmission. A mechanical winch or a hydraulic pump for a dump bed for example.

in case some of you didn't know what's inside those universal joint ends, I took one cup off to see them roller bearings for myself
top tip is to put tape around them when off the vehicle so they don't slip off on their own I will be replacing mine with brand new ones, so I am not too worried |

since the transmission gaskets had to be special ordered and won't arrive till Tuesday, I had to change gears (see what I did there, LOL) and move on to something else to keep The Greg busy
so working our way from the front of the truck to the back, and having cleaned and semi assembled the clutch, and torn appart the tranny, the Drive Shaft was next so the wire wheeling gets under way... |
