According to TM 9-2520-246-34 the Deuce pto puts out 27 hp at 1000rpm. If I had to install a drag winch and could choose between going hydraulic or PTO, I'd take hydraulic in a heartbeat. Straightforward flexible plumbing and much safer, accurate control. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

URSATDX, can you elaborate? I have the Waterloo setup on my truck and the steering box (a metric GM Saginaw 710) is just like any other steering box in that it allows steering without hydraulic support. There is still a mechanical connection between the steering shaft and the steering linkage. A...

Yup, that cab was designed for undernourished 18 year old conscripts. Have you considered the smaller A3 steering wheel and making sure your steering column bracket is mounted all the way up? It is also possible to shorten the steering shaft. Also, an air ride seat base from a scrapped truck...

Hint #1: 5 ton and 2.5 ton clutches have different NSN numbers. The military is efficient that way - same part means usually same NSN number. Hint # 2: The 5 ton clutch disc has a 15" Inch Overall Diameter, 10 Spline; 1 3/4" Inch Spline Diameter . While the spline diameter seems identical, the...

Ah...ok..so please also check with engine running, transmission in neutral, clutch depressed. Does it still tick then? Top cover...remove floor panels, wipe dirt off the tranny cover (to prevent dirt from falling into the inside of the tranny) and remove the 8 or so bolts that hold the cover in...

Are you saying that you can hear the ticking at idel (when the truck is standing still) or when the truck is driving in gear idling along? I assume the ticking is not present when stationary. Try it on a hard surface, low range, and see if it ticks in each gear. I would probably remove the top...

Me, too. No issues. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Wow, that seems a tad high. Governor should unload the compressor at 125 tops. I can see the safety valve go to 150 or maybe 175. 250 seems unneccessarily high. I like the mod and will add the valve, but at a lower setting.

At which pressure is the valve set? 150?

Having rebuilt one, I would suggest to pick up a good running takeout if you are looking at something that makes financial sense. While I fully agree with Karl Kostman's points and also agree that rebuilding mine was a great learning experience and even fun. I had picked up a running LDS for...

Me too when I replaced mine. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

These days I do need a project once in a while to stay sane (I surmise the current pandemic has something to do with it). For a long time I wanted to prepare my hot water heater to be mounted in-cab, similar to what the M35A3 models have. It is an easy project. Tools: 1/2 inch wrench/socket to...

For air compressor belt, a trick: Put belt on, spin pulley halves by hand as tight as possible without pinching belt (turn engine/pulley by hand). Then start engine and run for a few 5-10 seconds . Stop engine and check belt tension. If too loose, run engine again. Tighten lock bolts. For...

I have nothing to add but there is some reading to get you started: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/steering-issues.147905/

Yes, that kit will work. The upgraded drive axle seal I was mentioning is this one: https://www.rockwelloffroad.com/product-page/upgrade-2-5-ton-billet-retainer-with-tube-seal-wobble-seal-1

If it is tight, carefully check the HH for cracks. If there are none, carefully clean the plug (it is a tapered fit) and reinstall. If it still leaks after that, you can put a flat copper washer under the bolt and re-tighten. Read here...

I can't see why not. Downside is that you leave potential failure points where another leak can occur.

1/2 " ID Ideally, you get fuel immersion rated hose (seems rarer that hen's teeth). Some members recommend Parker super flex 397 push lok hose.

How about setting the idle to 700-750 (where it should be, so it does not shake everything to bits) and then re-evaluating whether it starts and runs? It may not like the low rpm. For test purposes you can simply use the hand throttle and click it up to the desired rpm.

My personal preference is the slightly oversized boots from rockwelloffroad.com https://www.rockwelloffroad.com/product-page/2-5-ton-rubber-boots for ease of installation. I have them and they hold up well. Also I like their upgraded front inner seal for the drive shaft (sock style). Sent...
