Columbia for 39 Merc
I am beginning the process (and I believe it will be a process) of locating, most likely rebuilding, and installing a Columbia 2 speed in my 39 Merc. I am reading all the past posts regarding a Columbia here on the Barn, begun collecting articles and refference materials, and regularly checking numerous classifieds. My main question is must I locate specifically a '39 unit ? As I understand it the first generation axle was from about '37 - '41, would any of these be suitable? I plan on contacting Mr Connelly once I get farther into this, just want to have a clear idea of what I'm looking for, and what maybe I should be avoiding. Any recomendations or words of wisdom most welcome!!
Thanks guys,
