    Issues with my Deuce that need attention

    All 5 bolt holes are through-holes, with the bolts being just long enough to barely protrude inside the box. There may be some sealant holding that broken stub in place but it shouldn't be difficult to remove, in either direction. The transmission is firmly supported by its round bell housing...

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    Forget those numbers, most are obsolete nomenclature. Ball bearings are all metric, so take a caliper and just confirm the dimensions of each, shown below..... (Or look them up in any bearing catalog) Then go and buy your bearings with confidence, any known good brand.

    Turbocharging a HMMWV with BMI's kit

    Curious to know: how does your 6500 turbo compare to the stock GM-4 turbo that comes on the civilian 6.5L engines? And do both share the same 3.38" x 1.75" mounting bolt pattern?

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    I don't think so, Frank... 8 balls is std for all these bearings, without a loading grove. This is what comes in there, originally... Of course, you could also install a so called max-load type bearing with 11 balls, instead. Only it would prob. cost 3-4 times as much. For the matter...

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    That bearing with the missing cage (your second picture) is a common 6310 NR (snap-ring style, 110x50x27mm). You may get away with leaving the old roller bearings in place, but you better replace all 6 ball bearings on that input shaft, once you have it all apart. (see my post #5, for the...

    Has anyone ever put Russian army truck tires on a 5 ton?

    Actually those are 21" tires, so no extra Vaseline needed.... :) Converted, 21" would be exactly 533.4 mm. For practical purpose, rounding-down the decimal just makes it a 533 All I can tell about the tires mounted on those Urals (size 14.00-20) is that they are extremely loud and wearing...

    anyone install a lockout hub on a rear axle?

    1) There shouldn't be much any lateral movement of the axles, on flat ground. 2) While cornering, the rear tires all follow a different turning radius, but since we have no inter-axle differential, there's always some wind-up, with the resulting tire scrubbing while on firm ground. Not so bad...

    ISO: M977 HEMTT crane seal kit or TM for crane

    Well, that's exactly what they do: erect the mast... So I consider it a well-chosen term. :smile: Sadly, there is not one single part in that kit offered that would fit, in your case.

    ISO: M977 HEMTT crane seal kit or TM for crane

    I have never seen any other than the Grove MHC on the M977. And in that TM it is the only one covered. I'm sure you are referring to this kit... If you zoom over the package it shows a part number: 9-752-100507 And that part number is the seal kit for each one of the two crane lift cylinders on...

    HMMWV bead lock wheel width?

    Not so easy as you might think..... Exactly. Plastic is also much less resilient than the stock rubber part. So in order to keep at least some pressure on the tire beads once everything is bolted in place you will have to be very precise with your WOA. It certainly has to be less than 6-3/4"...

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    Only......!? If that was true, and estimating 30 mph on average, that would be almost half a million miles...! :giggle:
