Ford GPA from Torro

Ford GPA is currently being converted to a medical vehicle. It now has its first casualty. Hand made stretcher.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

I had mine apart, did a touch of re-soldering, and tried to give the motor-to-propshaft gearing a bit of lash. It was jammed tight, so my fiddling helped a bit.

Then I greased the prop shaft through the filler provided, using a marine grease made for RC boats. Now the prop motor seems unable to turn the propshaft at all. I think the motor is grossly underpowered. Might there be a motor of the same dimensions but with more power?

Mine arrived yesterday and seems to work fine on the carpet. Haven't tested it in the water yet.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Have you tried the prop yet? When I loosened the lash just a bit, the shaft turned, but ran unevenly. Now with the grease the motor cannot turn the shaft (and prop) at all.
