Took the bottem cover off the clutch/flywheel housing...found a few pieces of metal. Never had any trouble with it, so I have no Idea how long they've been there. Anything I should wory about? Maybe from the starter? I remember something may have broke on the starter and maybe that was why it was rebuilt? Also noticed a grease zerk in there? does this need to be regularly greased? Thanks NOTE: PICS BIG FOR MAGNIFICATION   ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

| I think it would be from the ring gear and starter. |

| And the zerk would be on the throw-out bearing? If so its good to keep it greased up. |

A little goes a long way. Don't want excess to get on the clutch. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Thanks, I'll probably do the twice a year, it's probably not used anymore than 10 hours a month, but when it is used the clutch gets a work out ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

Also, Is there supposed to be a gasket for that cover (the entire thing) I noticed a little oil drip on the bolts (reason I took it off in the first place) ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

| No gasket, there's nothing to hold in there,it's just a cover to keep crud from getting on your clutch and throwout bearing, |

That would make sense. I knew something broke in the starter so grandpa had the whole thing rebuilt, this was 3 or 4 years ago, so I couldn't remember what broke. Guess it must have been the bendix. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |
