Here is the pipe cut down. Shaft welded to a round plate bolted to the front case to mimick a crank shaft. Turned on a lathe to match the crank shaft dimensions.(A friend did this for me) The pipe is also welded to the back of the plate and passes through to the engine stand where it is also...
I had no internals for the motor . No connecting rods, pistons or crank shaft. and no rear case which was actually a plus. A whole light lighter. Had to come up with a way to mount on a stand. A few pieces of 1/4 inch plate and a 2 inch steel pipe did the trick.
While not an airplane I thought this may be the best place for this.
This has been a side project I’ve been working for while. A friend of mine is a full time picker for his occupation and from time to time I’ll tag along . Last fall on one of the trips I came across some radial engine parts...

Interior of cab sanded and painted. Installed a new drivers seat. Believe it came out of a m923. Picked it up at a flee market for cheap. If anyone installs one of these seats you will need to drill the seat base holes to match the mounting points in the m44 series cab. The bases are...
If it’s like a m35a2 deuce you will need a front harness . The front and rear connect to one another via a cannon plug along the drivers side frame rail about the middle of the truck. I was able to repair the front harness on one of my trucks by canabalizing an unknown harness for wire and...
