Clutch Connections

Unread post by Redlight » September 3rd, 2023, 9:30 pm

I am putting my M151 back together and I have a few questions. I had a "Helper" tack apart the clutch linkage and now I am trying to put it back. I have two springs,

One is for the clutch system and the other goes on the gas pedal. I think the bigger one is for the clutch. Can anyone verify that?
I am also putting the two rods into the pivoting arms. There is no clear description or pictures how the rods are mounted. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

The rod going to the pedal is a solid rod with a hook on each end and the rod going into the bell housing has a threaded end on it.

Rick is describing Rod #2 in George's picture. The 90 degree end of the rod is grooved to accept the smaller eye of the spring, which becomes the retainer of the rod.

Progress report:
Thank you all for the comments. My friend and I were able to get the clutch linkage installed. We had a difficult time mounting the bolts on the frame until we turned around the arm #2. Then all the bolts went in easily. We did pull off the front left tire to have better access. We were also able to get the jeep on all four wheels on the ground. Later this week, we will get it started and see if it will run under its own power.
Wish me luck.

hi
if you take a good look at the drawing you see the spring sits at the engine side of the lever
if you screw rod no 2 in you will get more play out is less play at the clutch pedal
