OT'S 47-51 ??? Rebuild ??

<< < (16/42) > >>

the old trucker:
  Do anyone know the measurements of the wood pieces in these 2 pics ? I have what I call the left front fender, the piece with the curve & pipe in it. I know the other side is a mirror image.
                                                                
                                                                                                                         OT.
  PS:   I had this post in Orin's site. I put it in mine to keep everything together.

I notice that bombardier always put the motor cenered one inch to the right, to line up with the diff. In the narrow guage that also allowed just enough room for the muffler. There may be some justification for having one plane straight in the driveline too but I don't think it matters that much. With the 300 it is a tight fit and I don't think there is room to have the 300 centered. The 300 owners can steer you in the right on this one.

This is what we did also.

the old trucker:

  Thanks guys. I have to wait until next week to go at this again because the fellow that does my welding is away working till next Wednesday. I have a good idea how far ahead or back the motor goes, thanks to Orin. And now I know where to center it.
  I will weld the long 2x3 channels in place first, then lay the motor mounts in place & drill the holes to fasten it.
  Cranman are the rims from an older J5 the same as the bomber rim ?? I have a loan of one from Mike & it looks the same.
                                                thanks again from OT.

I'm not sure if the J5 rim will fit as I don't have a J5. I remember that the ones I used in the 60's were smaller axles than the later ones. It may be that they were using the 15118 cones like the ones on the heavier metal machines made later. So maybe it will work ok on your smaller axle using 15112 cones in your 15250 cups. I can't find my old J5 book si I'm guessing here.
