Hello Standa,

WoW !!!

That looks like an awesome time in the snow, driving around it your beautiful Jeep !
Plenty of snow on the ground this winter , it looks pretty cold too !
Tire chains too, looks like they would really help get traction in the deep snow.

You did such a nice restoration on your jeep, I hope I get mine done soon !


Thanks for posting the pictures,

Best Regards,
Ray

Hello Ray,

I'm enjoying it.
Especially when I'm thawing out at home with my tea

Chains help a lot. I need to buy two more for the rear wheels.
It's great fun, see the videos.

Great videos !
The jeep does really well in the snow !

Thanks for posting

I saw that new original type repro tire chains are available in the cloth bags bags in Europe, I may get a set when I am done, just to have them if needed.


Looks like great fun Standa !

Ray

Hello Ray,

Riding in the snow is great fun
Yes it is possible to buy repro chains.
I chose this option. It is easy and quick to assemble.

I am already preparing for summer and ordered canvas windshield cover made by John & Mary Worthing.

Hello Standa,

Keep us posted on the repairs.
Can you describe what the issue is with the rear end ?
I looks like spider gears and shaft are worn out, from the videos, is the carrier housing ok ?

Hello Ray,

The problem was pin wear and a squeezed bushing.
It didn't manifest itself in any way. I found out by accident.
It had already been repaired during the French Army's repair.

I finally got it fixed.
Everything seems to be fine.

I've done about 60 km.

Hello Standa,

Well done, great to see this repair !
I will be doing my MB rear and front ends soon, and I am lad new bushings and shaft can be added to rebuild the spider gears !
I managed to get a complete GPW NOS rear end set with the pinion and ring, and spider gear set as 1 unit.
I also got 2 NOS Willys ring and pinion gear sets from Turkey via ebay.
Looking forward to rebuilding the rear end soon, and another G member loaned me some set up bearings, and I got the set plate, and the intumenst needed to measure and set everything again to specifications.


Happy VE Day tomorrow as well !!!!

Hello Standa,

Thanks for the pictures of your jeep expedition after the repairs !
I am working on my jeep everyday, just been waiting for some tool to arrive that didn't,
so I ordered a another one, only to have both show up now .
I hope to get the engine, transmission, and transfer all set an int the frame, so i can start assembling it soon !!

What is the monument that you visited with the Czech Flags ?

Best Regards,
Ray

[Stanles]

Hello Ray,

It's the start of the season for Jeeps.
I will add a photo. I hope just from riding and no repairs

There are never enough tools and jigs.
They will always be needed.
I bought a lot during the renovation.
Especially when I was fixing the differential.

It is a monument to Jan Háječek.
Czech partisan who was shot by German soldiers in 1944.
There are many such monuments around my home.
