Threaded Shackles

So I bought this 2a recently,



Right now it is sitting in the barn blocking the combine and grain truck. Decided I better slap it together in to rolling condition before the wheat harvest (early June). Everything is disassembled, nothing is labeled, and I didn't take it apart. My question today is about the threaded shackles. Do the grease fittings point out or in? Does the left-hand threaded bushing go on the spring side or the frame side?

 

grease port goes out, and i don't remember which way they go...

 

Thanks. I'm at least half way there.

 

oops. You're not of age yet. Here ya go

Let me go look at my springs and see if I can figure it out, they're in the scrap pile now.

 

besides almost rolling a jeep over in my own yard R)
it would appear the normal threaded ones are on the driver side

 

Dude, that is the way to buy a jeep! Bring it home in a parts box!!

 

Can't be. Each shackle has a left and right threaded end. Need to know which threads go on the spring side and which goes on the frame side

 

"A right-handed threaded bushing cannot be installed satisfactorily after one having left-hand threads has once been installed."

That would explain my want for a 5lb. hammer. Thanks for the info.

 

just use 2 right side shackles...save the head aches with knowing your left from your right...

 

I only have what came with it and I am not going to buy anything new until I decide what I want to do with it. Right now I just need it in rolling condition so it is not in the way.
