Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2014 12:16 pm Post subject: bell crank
First of all I realize this is a common subject as I have gone back as far as I can and read all of the posts regarding bell cranks.
Everything under my unit flopped between the steering wheel and the hubs, so I started at the front and am working my way back.
I ordered a bell crank kit from John at Midwest Military. Very fast shipping, and John is very helpful on the phone.
I cleaned up everything and put it back in this morning. The bell crank would not tighten up to the frame mount. Maybe 1/8" or more of vertical play. I checked to see if I had put everything in that belonged, then came back in and pulled up the bell crank posts again.
Here is a photo from a previous post.
What is interesting in my case is I am just the reverse than what is shown here. My old bolt looks like Murdock's new bolt, and vice-versa.
My old bolt is on the left and new one on the right.
I cleaned up the takeoff and put it back in and everything snugs up within 1/32 - 1/16. I do not have the cross bolt tight yet. Wondering if I need a shim at the bottom.
