    m35 master cylinder compensation port

    Yes, if for some reason that hole (bypass port) was actually too small you can enlarge it a tiny bit, but I would not go over 0.80mm !! For your reference (and because I was curious too...), I just measured two NOS MC, fresh out of the box: a 0.70mm needle fits trough, loosely. 0.80mm...

    Replacing Rear Wheel Bearings and all pertaining to

    If the differential was a bit overfilled, or the truck not level, some oil will flow out once you start pulling the axle shaft (splined cap, in this case). Now, if oil has gotten inside the brake drum, your outer hub seal and/or the (kork)seal in the spindle keyway needs attention... This can...

    Replacing Rear Wheel Bearings and all pertaining to

    Nothing to do with the trailer; usually they don't have drive axles. What you have there is a stock M35 rear axle housing with at least one custom-made axle shaft. Typically that's what you need for a free wheeling (lock) hub, put on (one side of) the front rear axle, on a stock tandem. A big...

    You are correct. The stock rear axle shafts are one-piece.

    Help with side mirrors…

    Before I switched over to these, I only had the early style mirrors (one- and two arms), which came on the early gassers. There is no comparison, really: 1st, the west coast mirrors give you a much better angle since they stick out further. And 2nd and most important: they don't vibrate! I...

    Continental MPT 81 tires on M35A3 ?

    The stock M35A3 wheels are 20x11" MPT and fit perfectly, for those tires. IMHO, the 365 Conti MPT81 is the best tire you could possibly put on your truck.

    Trailworthy fab closed?

    Not of the process itself. But I promise to make a short video, next time.

    Trailworthy fab closed?

    I still don't understand why someone in the US didn't tool up already, to convert the regular rubber runflats into just beadlocks. I'm sure more and more people want to run beadlocks, instead of the runflats. It really isn't that difficult to do; it takes me less than one hour to cut...

    Identify these parts on an LDT 465-1D

    Looks like someone has swapped parts on it, randomly.... That waste-gate turbo is from an early 5-ton LDS465-1. The compressor housing, as well as that intake elbow should each be rotated 90deg CW. Although I'm not sure if both openings would perfectly align, after that.

    Drag link adjustment

    He is correct. And that's how the TM tells you to proceed: tighten, then back off a bit (maximum 1/2 turn) until the pin fits through. Of course that only applies to new- or fairly new ball studs with no obvious wear.
