Whew, what a workout!
After days of trying to get the outer gear off of the top shaft on the '41 A transmission, I stopped at a friend's last night on my way in to work to borrow his oxy/acetylene setup. Came home this morning (through the remnants of a snowstorm), and couldn't wait until after I woke up this afternoon so I went at it.
