RE: wheel cylinders
I did mine like M215 did. The TM says to take off the drum and then take off the hub, if you're going to have to pull the hub anyway might as well pull them as an assembly, less work, don't forget to torque the bearing nuts on re-assembly.
That's how I mounted mine, I also didn't like the pole mount behind the cab, way to high, fender placement makes tying down alot easier. I didn't get the rear brace with my mount,didn't know about it, I mounted the bracket farther forward and put the scoop onefacing the rear.
The lever in the photo is the parking brake, the transfer lever is the next one over towards the drivers seat. How are you going to tow it? You will have to take the front drive shaft out if you going to use a conventional tow truck.
The flywheel is the torus(torque convertor)front cover on the trucks, threr is no flex plate,thats why the fromt and rear flywheel housings are ser# to the engine.With a fresh 302 you probably won't get any better than 10-15mph on grades with any appreciable weight in the back(mine slows to...
The aiming instructions in my manual for my '42 MB state with the vehicle level and the hood on the light level place a 4 foot stick at the fender and mark the stick where the bright spot appears,move the stick 10 feet ahead of light and adjust light so that the bright spot is 2.1 inches below...
Could be sender,mine did the same thing,after cleaning all the elec connections and grounds, it got better but still wasn't right, new sender solved the problem. I also checked it with a mechanical gauge,just to be sure.
Ace is right about assembling it loosely and torqueing it up in stages, when I did my 211 I put a bead of hi-temp RTV on both sides of the gaskets at the intake ports and torqued it up, sealed up fine and been running 10 yrs,the alignment sleeves only go in the intake ports,don't over torque the...
You can also contact AM General customer relations,they can tell you when it was built. Thats how I got the year on mine. My serial # NK039A 0540 10302, built in '72.
The 24V headlamp bulbs are the same,just take the rubber seals off the wires on the new bulb (Packard) a little liquid soap helps, and replace it with the metal Douglas shell.
Chuck,Thanks for posting this event, I have a correction, we have been authorized to use TA 3 and 4 ,bivouac site in TA 4B (northeast quarter), no use of TA2 "Vehicle Recovery Area". I'll have the web master correct the site immediately
RE: Re: RE: batteries
I had the specs on 6TL's but can't find them now, When I bought my latest Duece I did some price comparision's between 'civi' batts and 6TLs based on cold cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacity, Optima's and marine batteries are a good match,both are about $80 to $90 in...
The City of Dearborn, MI is looking for Military Vehicles for their Memorial Day parade on Monday, 28 May 2007. I've been told that it's one of the largest Memorial Day parades in the state and that there will be media coverage.
I'm asking all MVPA and GLMVPA members in the Dearborn area to...
Memphis Equipment reccomends Dextron, original LO says to use 30wt for temps above 32F, 10wt 40F to -10F.
I rebuilt my 211 trans myself with parts from Memphis, these transmissions are very simple inside,(2 clutch pacs,2bands and a valve body). If you can pull a wrench you can fix it. Mine had a...
RE: Looking at getting a Deuce, how much did you get yours f
I paid $2,000.00 for mine, put fresh oil in it, 2 new batterys,topped off the other fluids and drove it home, 2yrs later,still runs great. A friend of mine got one last spring for $ 1800.00 that started right up, after fluid checks...
Hello Everyone, I'm looking for a frt axle drive shaft for my M35A2. I know Murray's and a few others have them, but the shipping is steep. I'd like to find one around my area that I could go pick up, any suggestions? Thanks, Curt

Chuck,
Sounds good, last year I planned a convoy from the I94/26 mile area to Willow Run, I'd like to do it again this year, We can start working on it when the time comes...
RE: Re: RE: some pics from the show..
It is my understanding that the Blue Angels security requierments are the reason for the move, the Angels are using the static display area and the area where the encampment was last year for there secure zone.
The planners have had some complaints...
