D'animal 1962/3 FJ45 added to the collection

[Living in the Past]

It should have had the hand primer. It may be possible to use the parts from you NOS pump to rebuild that pump but a original hand primer pump would be cooler. They are nice to have on a vehicle you don't use daily. With the sight glass in the carburetor just primer it ahead of time and starts a lot quicker.

Pulled the rig out of the shed to get a little Sun today.

It is nice to find New Old Stock parts for a 55 year old Landcruiser.


I had given away a couple of those old style oil filters...only have one left. Of course, I now need them. My local dealership said there were only two nationwide. I did get both. Surely there is another source?

I bought 4 or 5 of the OEM oil filters from Cruiser Corp.

I was amazed how cheap they were. I think they were less than $6

Finally found some time to take the clutch master off.

I've seen worse and I've seen better.

This was pitted and rusted to the point that one of the reed pedals is rusted off

Cleaned the bore as good as I could.

Used the parts I had on hand and put it back together.

Going to have to study Treeroots thread on brake and master rebuilds again.

Pinging up this thread, hopefully this rig is still in use???

If so, I was wondering if it’s possible to get some detailed pics of the rear windows and in particular someway get cross-section pics of the rubber mounts that the glass slides in. I’m missing the windows (everything) and it’s looking like I’m going to have to get creative in some form of replacement. I haven’t found anything that shows details of the rubber let alone part numbers but I don’t have access to any old parts books. I received some help from some mudders with pics but a detailed cross section would help some more. I’m wondering if CR Laurence might be able to come up with a close replica or something that could be used. Thanks. Paul

I can get those pictures for you today.

 

[wngrog]

Dan, my new truck has the oil bath oil filter did you say Cruiser Corps has them?

 

[D'Animal]

Yes, That is were I bought mine

Just a little ping...

Do you also have more pics of the seats (original), including underside? What’s the measurement between the driver’s seat pegs that get locked down to the tool box? 7” by chance? Thanks.
