OK

Wheel sets arrived today, (that was quick, thank you NWSL), and after about 3 hours time, I am happy to report that the Geep 38 is now a fully functional 2 railed diesel.

Only hiccup was that I followed the instructions and added the "trust washers" to all four worms, but it was too much friction (I guess) on the truck with the gear tower, so I had to take that one apart again and remove said washers. It now runs smoothly and quietly.

Happy Holidays to all who might read this ...

Thrust washer are in case you have too much  axis free play on the worm shaft.  

Now after finished all the upgrade procedure, I recommend to use black polish nail and paint the bottom of the gear case to void grease and oil leaks.

same polish nail I use to lock the gear case screw.

 

Andre.
