Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

It probably seems that I am not getting much done but a lot of my time when I'm here goes into other things too such as general shop work and work on other car projects. Today, for example, I helped my brother remove a huge hydraulic cylinder from his backhoe.
So for Henney work, I got the flywheel back in with new bolts and locks but haven't yet torqued them. The WiFi in my shop has been far too weak inside the steel building for some reason to be able look up specifications and I forgot to do so before going out. The clutch arm needs to me put in place first before the pressure plat is mounted as it is otherwise impossible to get it in. Almost but not quite!
I also bolted in loosely the master cylinder which was rebuilt a few years ago. While putting it in, I noticed that it had 1-1/6 written on it in sharpie when I thought it was supposed to be 1-1/8" so I need to be sure it was sleeved properly. EDIT: I asked the rebuilder who said that there is no such things a a 1-1/16 cylinder and added that it was just sloppy handwriting that made the 8 look like a 6!
As a little break, I worked for a few minutes in the transmission just before coming back to the house for the night. Got the back housing off easily once I spotted the large snap ring holding it in place. Surprising the cluster gear isn't as bad as I thought it would be but, of course, any nick means replacement and it has several around it. I do have the replacement for it and for the gear with all the missing teeth but whether I want to just repair this one or use the other is another story.
After getting it apart, I pulled out most of the tooth pieces and little spring cylinders using a magnet. I didn't notice it until I was looking at the photo just now but not sure what the little green thing is toward the right under the larger gear!
