ODDBALL007's newest toy

[ODDBALL007]

ok here we have a 1967 M35a2 which i believe was a gasser and they took out and installed this diesel engine. This motor is quick on take off and has the Whistler turbo. I jus bought the top from clintogf for a 145 bucks shipped. It was a deal to say the least. I installed it because i saw JIMMA have one and well he is my lil wrestlin buddy, so i did one too. I like the tach add on too.....It was repainted in 2004 and well pretty much sat. Now i have something to take out on trail rides. I have a ??? tho. How does the 6 wheel drive work. It has a sprag front end.

When the rear end starts to slip, the transfer case automatically engages the front end. I'm not an expert though. Some folks on here have much more Sprag experience--hopefully they will chime in.

Do the latest TMs cover trucks without airshift transfer cases?

 

[ODDBALL007]

i dont know. I did however back up a hill and the rear were spinning trying to climb but nothin out of the front end. I didnt try it forward yet

 

[Capt.Marion]

I would do some searching... try things like "sprag," "sprage", "sprague," etc... to cover all the different ways that we misspell it. I feel like there have been some good posts on the sprag transfer case before, but I'm not sure whether they were in the deuce section, or the 5-ton section. (And the 5-ton sprags work differently than the ones on the deuces).

Could be a broken front axle, or out of adjustment also do not roll back while in a forward gear and don't roll forward while in reverse

 

[ODDBALL007]

ok ive tried and tried to make this front end spin and no luck. Im going to do a search on sprag front ends, but if some one has links to where i neede to search please send the link

Sprag means, It will work only when it feels like working and even then it only works halfway.

No clue what they were thinking when they made those POS sprags.

Its funny, everyone is buying left and right more toys and I just got the bad news that I have to start selling off my toys.

 

[FireFighterHill]

A/C why do you gotta sell your toys?

 

[SCSG-G4]

A/C, just put a more comfy seat in it and don't drive it like you stole the thing!

I was curious about that a while back....spoke to a guy here in Apopka, FL that drove Deuces in Nam. He said the ones he drove were sprag and therefore did not have the air engage system. He said the way they worked was as follows: After at least one side of one of the rear axles spun one full revolution, then the front axle would engage. He said it was a bad design because by the time the rear wheels spun one full revolution, you already dug yourself a hole.

I have a sprag transfer case on my winch deuce(soon to be road tractor), I hav'nt taken it through a hole or up a hill yet...i hope it works.

A/C why do you gotta sell your toys?

Due to severe spinal stenosis making my spine a calicified rock pinching on the spinal cord. Any big jar or strain to the lower spine will put me into a wheelchair.

Cant steal what I own. lol Isnt a soft enough seat that can protect my back, sorry.

Ok it has been a while but i pulled The Oddballs General out of retirement. I couldn't get sprague to work so i bought a air shift transfer case from RAYZER and I am having Ted korpi install and do a few other things. I broke down an bought a air shift kit from ebay n gonna install before GA rally
