SS- So I pulled the TM , and have the wiring info. Now, how do I swap the gear tooth? My original is 12 teeth, while new starter is 11 teeth and a much larger gear. to add on ,understand you can swap the head and such, but the shaft on the new starter is larger also.

SS - Howdy, I am still working my starter problem and now swapping it out for a new one. I have the old style in the truck and purchased a new style, one with bell shape solenoid on top. my question is where do the two small wires go on the new style? I’m not seeing the same Type of connection...

Looking for M35a2 starter.

SS- I ran into a problem with the starter solenoid and now maybe starter… For a little bit on button start truck would click and not fire up, on and off, no real big deal. Then while driving I heard a humming noise and then a pop and all electronics went out. So I checked batteries and one...

I think all the air is out. I can double check. I will say the brake pedal is pretty firm currently.

Ok, so pressure bled the system. Have good pedal pressure,but… As stated above, when I press and let up pedal it’s bubbling air through master cylinder fill top fitting. I have a remote rescoir now so it just bubbles air up to that. pedal is firm and I do have good brakes, but is there...

ok, pressure bleeder it is then.

Had son helping me. Good ole, pump the brakes then hold, and bleed. never had a problem on other vehicles doing brake jobs. But since this also has an air pack thought maybe I’m missing something in the procedure of this beast.

Well a new twist. re-bled the system. Started at air pack, lots of air. Got that out went to rear paswenger lots of air, got that out. hit the rest. No air and fluid coming out. No pressure at all. went to rear passenger, lots of clean fluid coming out steady, no air. went to air pack...

SS - Been experience some ongoing brake challenges. When first got the truck brakes worked good. I added a remote brake reservoir so I could monitor the fluid. Well when apply brakes I noticed the fluid in reservoir would bubble and want to blow out. As I drive more it started to get worse...

10-4, thanks.

Thinking to amount of fluid I put in, it may have been quite low… Prob need to bleed, is it pass rear furthest away to do the bleed??

SS - Hi, just installed BM remote brake reservoir. When applying brake lots of bubbles come up to it and push a lot of fluid out. Any thoughts? Bleed all brakes now?

Ok, so Deuce is setup for 10k lbs, hmmm seems low for a military vehicle, but understand it’s older and had a purpose probably for troop hauling and resupply of light duty things. I will keep it as is, for light duty and fun

Ok, thanks. I have seen my same Excavator pulled by single axle small dump trucks. Figured it may be close in a weight comparison balance. Again only on pretty flat ground around town at low speeds 45mph or lower. Just seeing if I could use the deuce for some work here and there, not daily.
