So one more question. When I fill the tranny and transfer case do I just put oil in it until it starts coming back out the plug hole like you do on axles? Or do I have to split the 3.5 pint amount between the two?

So how do I know how much to put in? Do I fill them up until the fluid is just leaking out the plugs like axles? Do I split the 3.5 pints between them?

Thanks again for everyone's help

Spent the time taking inventory and reconditioning small items like the Kelly locking hubs and the OD.

Nice.  Good to see the continuation of this project.

Looks like you got some very nice bits and pieces with the deal.

Yup, good eye Tim, the arm is simply slid on the shaft, the spring still in a parts bag..

Progress a little at a time. Oil filter and lines plumbed in, carb and fuel pump rebuilt and installed, driveshafts cleaned up and new u-joints installed, exhaust system temp'd in.

Looking good Muley.  Are you setting up for a chassis run?  I think I read somewhere that you were looking for the basic wiring needed to start the engine.  This might help you...

I remember seeing that sketch before, thanks Hawky. Not gearing up for a chassis run just yet but am anxious to run up the motor. Need a recore on the raddy before I can do that..
