Master Cylinder

Managed to get the master cylinder off tonight. The hole in the top indicates it might need replacing. The two bolts holding it in place didn't give up without a fight, but after 3 days of PB B'Laster penetrant, they came loose.

This stuf is great and I believe I'll be needing a few cans before this project is over. Used it to loosen up a couple of stuck pistons in a '54 Evinrude 7.5HP outboard.

So the short term plan is to replace the master cylinder, get a fuel pump and a muffler and see about getting the engine stable. Then test out the brakes, transmission, etc...

I think the transfer case needs work. I can shift between High and Low 4 wheel drive, but the lever to engage/disengage doesn't move. It may be stuck in 4WD.

Will order some parts for delivery week after Thanksgiving as nothing major will get done until then.
