Ever Seen This On A Scout Car

[judyronM]

Has anyone seen this before? The sprocket setup is mounted on the input shaft of the Transfer Case. It would run all the time when driving, but when you stop you could put the Transfer Case in neutral and you have a power unit with 4 speeds and even a reverse speed. Looks like the sprocket may be size 40 chain, will have to do some approx. measurements with the teeth almost all the way worn down. Thinking it was put on after its life in the military but not sure. Any ideas?

Hi Ron, never seen that.... How are the fan shrouds coming along? Thanks, Rob

It is a "why get shorter bolts, if the disc disappears, use something to take up the room"

I was told by the previous owner there was a pto water pump in the bed it ran due to it being a firefighter brush water truck.

Thanks Dan, was wondering if that was the case. Makes since for the pump to be running while driving if fighting a brush fire. Putting her back together at the moment to see what I will need to rebuild her. Slow process, if you happen to find the 2 bolt cap that holds the steering box to the frame let me know. Will make one if I need to.

I have the metal now for the shrouds, hope to have a test sample soon. Getting the edge around the fan blade is my delay at the moment. Originals had a rounded rope edge finish. My prototype will just have a crimped edge so I can get the fit correct. Rope edge will come when I get the rest of the shroud made and fitting correctly. Always best to have a prototype to work out the bugs.
