I'm confused: who should be saluting who - and how....?;-) I guess you meant to say solution, not salutation.

2nd gear spins directly on the shaft. Maybe you are referring to the 5th gear sleeve? The collar of that sleeve/bushing goes towards the back of transmission. (Some older diagrams had it wrong.)

For-sale ads (in the classifieds) without a price are not allowed. And vendors are no exception, in this case. Wrong answer.

Compare yours with the dimensions shown below... It seems to me that Ø "B" is within specs but Ø "A" is definitely too big...? FWIW, "A" is 1.22" for the wheels on Deuces and M37s, and around 1.28" on HEMTT and FMTV wheels. Since we are talking about stud-piloted steel wheels, even that...

That wheel looks to have been cut and widened? Maybe it's wider than 11", now?

How can that be - if your truck is a M35A2?:???: AFAIK only the gassers and the A3's have tapered side panels. Multifuel trucks all came with straight/square panels (= 9" tall, measured from center of hinge pin to top edge, front and rear).

No way can it be flush! It's a 308 NR- type of bearing, which means it takes a snapring (#NR90). That makes it protrude exactly 0.2197" (+/- 0.006), according to the bearing books. The question is if it has been- or if it can move- further out than that, after the retainer broke?

The only thing that holds the whole mainshaft assembly in place is the rear bearing snapring and that bearing retainer. If the retainer breaks (like shown in the pics) the MS will shift backwards (due to the axial component of force from the helical gears). About 1/8" is enough for the 3rd gear...

Post a picture of what you are intending to buy. The weight of the tire itself is clear. And then someone here will know what that particular wheel weights. Then tell your seller to put that combo on a scale. That tells us if there is a runflat inside- and even what type.

Why go to a shop if you can do it yourself!? If you don't want to go as far as building your own "balancing stand" (explained here...) then at least check your tires one-by-one, mounted on your front hub. That, after removing the splined center flange and fully retracting the brake shoes, of...

I suspect you did not balance your tire/wheels, or?:wink:

Better don't ask... It's a VERY SAD & TRAGIC story; let's leave it at that.

I'd recommend reading this thread...

If you mean the part in your picture, that's the tachometer adapter...:-?

Wait, you need to get your transmission out of gear, before anything! It seems that the whole drivetrain is severely wound up. Otherwise the TC would go into neutral without excessive force on the shift lever. Safest is to jack-up the rear wheels (either side) and then try again, shifting...
