Exploded diagram and Index chart do not match in the Y2K 
manual...

First - Thanks to all who responded with suggestions.  Yes - 
the gear train was (is mostly) in several hundred pieces - 
after being cleaned in carburetor cleaner, then mineral 
spirits, then a final wipe down with alcohol - it looks like 
new.

Yes, it would have been nice to have "cleaned in place" - 
i.e. remove a part - clean it - put it back. but 1) too 
filthy; gritty, grimy, nasty and 2) too many parts missing - 
that need to be replaced (parts decks are inbound - thanks 
to another list member!!!!).

Second - the mystery solved - yes - as Glenn Little had 
postulated- it appears the diagram is from one manual - with 
the chart from another.  Fortunately - I do have some 
resources here (from a place far, far away and a zillion 
years ago - i.e. our time in Guam) - and found that the 
chart does match the exploded diagram (fold out pages 
145/146) in the army manual TM 11-856A which I still have a 
photocopy of.  Knowing how TMs work - later versions 
probably have the same (or similarly useful) diagram.

Third - I'm trying to scan the diagram I have - since it's 
bigger than my scanner - I'll have to scan it in sections 
and stitch it. When I get something useful - I'll post a 
link to it on my server.

Thanks to all who replied!!!
