'46 VEC? came with L-Head to power a mill saw?

I read that on Advance Adapters as a possible cause.  I believe that to be one of the easier fixes in the realm of problems that cause popping out of gear.  I will email Herm to get his thoughts on this before I tear into it.  Thank you for the feedback.

Butt wut!?!

It's a Kayline (I think) tire carrier 2 gas can swing out.  I need to work on it, but I had to put it on as I need it to see where I could put the lights.  The right one had to be put a 1/2" left and I still need to cut and re-fab the right most support on the carrier.  It has a few twists and bends that I need to remove, strip and paint.  Plus it looks like the right light has the license plate window.  I will black that out some how.

Dashing! Isn't it!?!  Fuel gauge not working but will bounce up and down at times.  Not sure if ground issue, 6v gauge,....has new sending unit.  I bought a twisting throttle lock from NAPA.  I like it.

Realize that painting all body components made for a decent paint job, made for a problem with grounding everything.  Nothing says happiness like intentionally scratching the new paint off your dash to ground the high beam indicator.

She lives!  I took an old Army shelter half and turned into a quick summer top with zip ties and bungee cords because it was raining and I am going for a drive.....

The smile was at the request of my 11 yr old stepdaughter who has helped quite a bit.  She is so excited to come home from school and see new fixes and come out and help me wrench after diner.  As cheesy as it is, I kinda like it.  2 minutes with a black rattle can can fix it if I choose, but it stays for now.  It's 'OUR' Willy's.

I captured a picture on my phone from the video, but it put it into .png format, which will not load on the forum.  So I took a picture off the screen, blah, but eh, it's in .jpeg now.

She drives straight, brakes still soft, leaking all around the master cylinder.  2nd gear grinds while driving.  Figure I need to adjust column shift linkage.  Easy 55mph with the 30% OD on, and one hand holding down the jerry-rigged top.  OD still pops out under hard accelerating, well, hard for a Willy's.  It almost feels like the linkage is not allowing enough throw, almost like it is just barely in gear.  It only does it in direct drive.  If I put it in overdrive, it holds.  

She smokes.  Figure cylinder 4 is poop in the ring department.  I can test that later too.  

I have not touched the springs.  They looked good enough for the time being.  They are definitely not too soft.  They ride about as soft as cement blocks.  I do have all new shackles I need to put in.  New shocks are on already.  Need to put in inner windshield rubber seal too.

Feels good to roll finally.  

6 months, lots sweat, few stitches, more $ than I care to add up (not too bad really). Can't wait to find another one.  Walck's has a Commando with the Odd fire, but the engine is seized.  If it spun, I would grab it.

Thanx again to all who helped advise.

Overdrive keeps popping out, and now once I drive it for 1/2 mile, the clutch barely disengages.  

Wanted to look at the OD-crawl under and remove floor plate in tub and look at linkage, but the starter went.  Then when I wanted to do it again, now it's the clutch.  Plus it's 25* and snowing on and off. I am under roof, but on cement slab with no heat and it gets wet when it rains, so I do not have the inner drive to lay on the cold cement, get wet, and do extra like look at the OD.  I will do what I have to do.  The gen, then the starter, now the clutch.  The OD is coming.  

PM me your address.

I found the box of Willys snap rings and can send you the one for the main bearing, and the 4 thicknesses available for the other, black, dark blue, light blue, and orange.

I'm leaving for Victorville again till Christmas so I haven't even had a chance to measure them...

but I did find the color code in an old post.
