I love seeing a running Jeep chassis with those kind of fuel cells!

Couldn't wait-yesterday I hooked up the ign circuit, installed a DOT approved fuel cell and fired 'er up and ran it up to operating temp. Its been 2yrs since bringing it home..  Medsker if you're out there yesterday was a good day..

Ya Tom, George, see ya both soon. The 3A project is a mongrel, no pedigree.. No hurry to get it done cuz what then will I do in the shop after work. Someday i'll retire the M38 OD Mule and run the 3A on the trails.

Long time with no updates. Got the inst test panel built and wired the starter test circuit-turned the mighty L134 over by key for the 1st time since I brought the project home winter of '16. After FCT i'll wire ign and charge circuits and see if it'll fire up-stay tuned..

Muley, can you give me the exact length that the clutch rod should be?� I think I'll make this improvement too and I don't have the OE rod - just an all-thread set up that it came with.� I don't know if it is the correct length.� Thanks!


Also, where did you find your 2 clevis fittings and what size are they?�

Okay, got it all done with 3/8 in clevis yokes from Ace and had to cut the 24tpi threads myself - no fine thread all-thread to be found.  My old rod was 10 5/8 "  oc, but I would still be interested to learn what the oc measurement is of the OE clutch rod.  You must be on a backcountry trip.   8-)

Tom, not having driven it I cant say whether or not the HD Rockford is more or less hard to press. As for the linkage there is no slop. I don't remember if I did the linkage upgrade on my M38 or not...I should check and see..

Muley, is the new heavy duty clutch significantly harder to work than the stock 8 1/2" unit?  Also, with the new clevis set-up you made, do you notice any slop in the action?  You do nice work!

Hi Brian, good to see you poking around..

Hi Rick!
My M38 had the same clevis end clutch rod you made. Some discussion on the MWillys site reveals the Army actually had an MWO to perform exactly the operation on the bent end clutch rods
to solve the problem of the ends getting bent and the clutch out of adjustment.

Until someone surfaced the MWO there was some conjecture it was a Bubba mod.

Take care,
Brian
