I was adjusting my clutch and discovered that the Drive Pin and Drive Disc spring are missing. That explains the vibration in the motor; but it is a concern to me. I have dug up some round stock which I can weld in to replace the missing pin, but is this a dangerous situation? My...

It sure is easier, Allen; and to think I was rubbing the paper with wax for a image.

Thanks, Steve. I thought it looked ok; but it's always good to get other opinions. Now I'll try adjusting the clutch. I love being able to print illustrations from the parts and manuals pages.

Sorry about the way my post is arranged, Charlie. I'm still learning online protocol.

These pictures are for Steve Blunier. They were the best I could do since I was trying to avoid disassembling the shifter. Do you think the slotted cup is in relatively good or bad condition? (William Best sure has a nice fleet of Cubs)

Thanks Jeff baker for guidance on clutch adjustment. Thanks Steve Blunier for suggestions on other trouble spots to check. I did make a feeble attempt to separate the H-ring from the shifter plate, but I didn't want to mess it up. With a good bright flashlight maybe I can inspect the cup better.

This step in fixing the shifter has been successful. I depressed the neck spring and held it down with needle-nose vise grip pliers. Then I drove the pin out with a small punch; slid the collar, spring, and cover up, and could see that the slotted dome had broken loose from the lever...

Thanks to Kraig McConaughey for some very helpful pictures! I got the pin out of the shift lever and the collar and spring up out of the way. Now that I know from the pictures what I'm dealing with I think I can do the welding.

The Jeep hardtop transfer using a door track sure is a great idea! Good old American ingenuity. The SeaBees would be proud of you.

The picture of the boy walking across the rail bridge was of interest to me. I have an ancestor who lived in Nassau County FL who was killed by a train doing that very thing around 1950.

Thanks Rodney Smith for a quick reply, and a friendly greeting! I'm going to try today to remove the shifter handle. The small pinned cup retaining the neck spring gives me a little anxiety, but I'm an ok mechanic, so maybe I can figure it out. All I have is a MIG welder; if I'm...

I have a 108 with a manual shifter mounted right on top of the transmission, which has become loose, but which will still engage each gear (1,2,3,R) with a bit of searching. Does anyone know what has happened and how I should repair it?
