No problem we can do this any way you want, I never thought of doing this with other person is following along, good idea, I like that. When I rebuild one the first thing I do is to call Memphis Equipment go to the parts department and get a hold of John, tell him that you are doing a rebuild...

Thanks for the kind words Chris, you and everyone else who responded is going to make this project fun and enjoyable to do. Also great news everybody! Going over to the storage shed today and I'll be bringing back two 885-FFg carburetors, a Delco-Remy distributors or two, the air pump, and a...

reverse Throughout this project, when I come across a subject that has been debated or warned about, I’ll try to use the parts off the transmission or use a diagram such as this cut away of the transmission. So this topic is REVERSE. Here’s the skinny how reverse works, and why not to use HI...

Ordered the gaskets and seals from Memphis equipment toady for the transmission. While I was on the phone with them, I asked about the check valve situation between the torus halves. Their reply was back in the 50's when Detroit came to Memphis equipment to hold a class on how to rebuild the...

Bob, After looking in the transmission manual TM 9-8025-2, I can not find anywhere it's says to leave these parts out. Since it's a check valve and spring, I don't know what effect this will have as far as oil pressure building up in the Fluid Coupling. My rule is this, even thought the Memphis...

Due to the number of individuals that has shown an interest, I'll start this project after the Holidays, this gives me time to figure out a lay out, get my notes in order and set up my work space for photography . Also I'll have to order all the gasket and seals from Memphis Equipment, so that...

Yes you're right Carman' The m211 and 135 both use the same transmission, according to TM 9-8024 operational and organizational maintenance manual P22. Chapter 5, the only difference between the M211 and M135 is the rear brake drums assemblies and the cargo box design. other than that...

Sometime in the next few months, I’ll be rebuilding another M211 transmission. This transmission had the 1st and 2nd gear planetary carrier slip ring blow out due to someone putting the transmission an a lower gear to slow down the truck. REB was installed when this happened. I got this...

RE: oooh ooooh that smell Thanks Mike, I hope you guys did not get the impression that this happened yesterday, this happened back 2004, That year there were 6 or 7 roll aways nation wide with the M211’s and the M35A2. We’ve also changed the style of chocks. Instead of being two man crews they...

RE: oooh ooooh that smell Hey Mike, I like your idea of the chock system , even though I'm not on the fire department any more, (Moved to a different town,) I'll look into that for my M211. PS It was my fault for the way you guys responded to my topic, I did not explain completely to the...

RE: oooh ooooh that smell Will David how about King of knowledge then? Ha,Ha As you also can tell, I'm one horrible typist. You think spell check would of caught the lower case on the word God, but it didn't. Thanks for the update on the information of the electric brakes, That makes it...

RE: oooh ooooh that smell I don't understand the reasoning behind the weak hand brake systems on military vehicles. So when you can drive with the brakes activated that shows there is a design flaw. Now David, you are the god of knowledge when it comes to military vehicles. My knowledge of...

Man I did not know this was going to be turned into a debate as to what caused this or the fire fighting techniques, I'll guess I'll have to go into detail here about what occurred at each site. First if anybody has been around a military vehicle fully loaded you have to pay close attention to...

Now let me make a safety not here, for the 8 years I was on the fire department, these were only the two trucks ever damaged and they happened in the same year. So for how many wildland fires these trucks respond to usually 4 to 5 fires a year that burn over 10,000 acres and numerous smaller...

Oh yea we used them, but parking on a fire break after a dozer been through made the area sandy, The trucks just rolled over them and pushed them down into the sand, about as effective as using an empty beer can in this case. But when you have a fire coming up your behind like this, there is no...

I thought I would add pictures of what happens when a M211 and a M35A2 rolls down hill when the parking brake fails. Both instances the operators advanced ahead of the main fire to put out spot fires. With no baffles in the water tanks, the water slouched around, braking the grip of the parking...

Welcome aboard Linda, I know you're husband is proud of you, When I was on the Air Force Rifle Team; my girlfriend took an interest in shooting. She came along to all the matches and signed on as my shooting partner. It's enjoyable to have a spouse or loved one carry the same interest. One good...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Tatra I predict in about 5 years or so we are going to see a flood in the market of these things in the US. Reason is the Russian economy is growing 6.7% a year. Which means that the Russian military will start to afford newer vehicles for their military and a few...

As far as 2.5 tons, 5 tons and 10 ton trucks, according to a GAO report I read a couple of years ago, we the USA, our trucks were rated 14th out of all the countries that make their own military vehicles. Can you even name 14 countries that make military vehicles. I can't I only come up with 9...
