    Two Piece Wheel Flange Nuts, Change?

    More important would be that those you got are "self-locking" (distorted) nuts. Hard to tell from your pics...(?) If it was me I would try to get the exact same size/type nuts. They must be out there, somewhere in the civilian world. Besides P/N 12301125 I also got many with the P/N 12423477...

    M35 rocker panel repair

    Happened to me too - and it's not that we can't read...:) It's because the std. font for all our posts makes the lowercase "l" (L as in Lima) and the capital "I" (I as in India) look identical. Yep, you pop up there, 2nd on the list... after typing an LPC in that search window... Thanks for...

    M35 rocker panel repair

    True. But in this case there are only two "inward" bends that remain visible - and only with the door open: #3 and #5. None of them is critical, IMHO. Even if these came out too "sharp"; after several layers of paint it sure enough would look "factory stock" again. For everyone's peace of mind...

    M35 rocker panel repair

    Yes, that's correct: 18 ga crs, (.048") Yes, dims are outside. I could take some exact measurements on the finished parts, if needed. What really counts is my diagram on the right: mark work-piece as indicated and center the punch as precise as possible, on each of them. Inside radius: I'd say...

    Put an @ right in front of the username. Edit to add: I just tried but it doesn't seem to work, for this member....:confused:

    Way too much...... Or nada - if you would come down and get them...!:)

    I just made them... Here are the exact dimensions to replicate the stock profile: Red numbers is the sequence of bends. Anyone with a small brake press can do this.

    Spicer3053a

    TM 9-2520-246-34, pages 3-13 & 3-14: h. Mainshaft Rear Bearing. With the use of a block of wood, drive the mainshaft rearward to force the rear bearing from the transmission case. (See fig. 3-26.) Use a universal puller to remove the rear bearing from the mainshaft. Figure 3-26...

    M101a2 wheel bearings question

    Yes, most likely the very same genius who left the bad races alone and just added fresh grease....! IMHO

    Chainfall for spare

    Memphis has the 1/4-ton chain hoist that originally came with the M939 series tool set, @ $60: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292808839014 Although Chinese-made, they work fairly well for the purpose.

    T-136 limits?

    Same as what? Not the same, if you are referring to the 5-ton Spicer vs. the Deuce's 3053.

    T-136 limits?

    No, 5-tons would use the bigger series Spicer models 6352 and 6453. Totally different beast, at twice the size of a 3053...

    two piece 12 bolt rim assembly Hmmwv

    I did some measuring for you.... Sadly, I only have a set of the early style 12-bolt rims here. They are the ones good for 3400 lbs, with no centering hole. (P/n of the inner section is 12342642, to be used with the 12342640 outer half.) FWIW, on those, the ID of the cylindrical portion in...

    T-136 limits?

    A #2 bell for the 3052/3053s? Not that I know of... (?)

    T-136 limits?

    Well, our transmission actually does act like a torque multiplier for the engine. So, for the 3053 in 1st gear, at 5:1 - the transfer should hold all day long at 2000 ft-lb, at least. I know it does - and much more than that.

    Stonepicker1 back online. Been off the site for a few years

    Welcome back! New format and some things - including a few rules - have changed but I'm sure you will get used to it, pretty soon... lol (Former PM is now "START CONVERSATION". Feel free to ask questions.)

    Fixing Flat on M35A3

    Yeah, over the time rubber may harden and eventually even develop cracks. Also the fact that rust tends to build up due to trapped moisture there, just where the grommet has to seal. Because of that I have long installed all my valves with no grommet and/or O-ring, at all. PU-sealant alone...
