SubscriberThe issue is the front prop, not the rear.. There are two fixes.. 1. (the simpler of the two).. Lower the nose of the engine by about 25mm. This will get rid of the rattle... 2. Using a jig, have the nose of the diff tipped up and then put the front prop out of phase...
The vibration is caused because the front diff flange is not parallel with the transfer case front output shaft. As a prop is turning at a given speed, the center tube and splined section between the two yokes is actually accelerating and decelerating once with each revolution. As long as the shaft joints are in phase and both mating faces are parallel this is not a problem. When mine arrived, and was standard it rumbled a little, but not a lot compared to the 101 I owned in the UK. The front prop had been modified. They'd removed the wide angle joint at the top which lessened the rumble. I think if the engine was dropped a small amount (the rad cowl re drilled to suit) and both joints on the front prop changed for the std angle (series type) joint, the rattle would all but go.. Just my thoughts.. With the rear diff nose lifted and the modified 110 rear prop on the front I have no rattle.

101 club • View topic - An interesting one.
I have spent a bit of time lurking about the web, I did manage to find some more of the story behind my 101, It may have been a mechanics service vehicle that lived within the Farnborough experimental establishment and may have never been given a military number??
More questions than answers!

Hi Sitec,
Not much happening with the 101, only managed to clear a space in the shed to put it away as I'm up north working on a shutdown.
head home in another week to get ready for 2 more shutdowns before the end of july then get the Whyalla show sorted in mid August, doubt if I will make it but will try.
not enough hours in the day, not enough days in the week!
I need a holiday in a 101, at least I wont hear the phone ring!!!
