    Winch question

    My only possible explanation to that would be if the wormshaft (ball)bearings #6309 were rough- and/or somehow preloaded? Because the two oil seals alone can't offer that much of resistance to spin it by hand. And the drum-shaft & gear should not be binding either, if all was correctly...

    Winch question

    You might have to remove the cover and check that band-brake assembly again. Read my posts, here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?65900-Winch-brake-band-assembly G.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    No, I don't think it would make a difference. And even if there still was a minor leak somewhere, this would not explain the consistent, low compression and increased blow-by, on all 6 cylinders. G.

    We can Transport it!

    :ditto: They even ship 40' containers full of junk (green iron) to Uruguay! (and for a relative reasonable rate...):) G.

    M35A2 bumper extension brackets

    Well, yes and no... YES, because the extensions are really intended to be used in conjunction with the winch mounting brackets, as a whole assembly. Both parts combined recreate the necessary and rigid bumper mounting spots, only forward and up. NO, because one could of course modify the...

    M35A2 bumper extension brackets

    :ditto: But using those, the bumper will move 13-1/2" forward and also 4-3/4" up, which I don't think is very convenient in this case. Member Steve6x6x6 has added a 18K Warn to the front of his A3-bobber. Not sure what exactly he used as extensions, but it wasn't the A2's because the bumper...

    5 ton rim size

    BC = 10 on 11.25" Pilot hole = 8.75" G.

    Fording Project

    Well, at 2.5 psi they will look like a balloon - for a short while at least...:-) Seriously, nothing will happen since you have to retain the axle seals anyway and only the diff. itself is pressurized; not the knuckles. G.

    M37 question about the bumper

    I will never understand how someone would weld these U-bolts (paperclips) on a winch truck and use them as lifting points, instead of the original bumper shackles.:? With the front probably weighing 4000 pounds the only thing really that prevents the bumper ends from rotating upwards and...

    Deuce Is there a difference between LDS AND LD PISTON AND LINERS?

    No difference. Sleeves are the same for all 465 engines: part no. 10935239 Pistons and rings are the same for all Code C,D,E-engines: part no. 11668483 LDS pistons (Codes A;B,F) may be different to what you have, but still the same diameter. G.

    hard to turn at low speed at times

    Yes. And here is a thread that may help you understand what that shift rod is supposed to do... after a good service and adjustment. G.

    hard to turn at low speed at times

    Most probably you have a sprag transfercase and the shift rod in between transmission and T-Case needs some maintenance/adjustment. G.

    Michelin Pilot C-20 XL 15.5/80R20 vs Goodyear at2a 14 20

    FWIW: The 12.5R20 and 14.5R20 are MPT; the 14.75/80R20 and 15.5/80R20 are not. The latter take a std 20x10" rim just like the 14.00R20. Some, yes; it has to do with tire age and also if they came on CTIS-equipped vehicles or not. Generally speaking the XL/G20 was the military tire of...

    Michelin Pilot C-20 XL 15.5/80R20 vs Goodyear at2a 14 20

    They could be cheaper because of the manufacturing date being 2005 or older? Ask for pics of the date codes before you buy! G.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    OK, yes T-case main housings are all the same and interchangeable. But on the driver side the mounts may differ since they came in two styles. Not difficult to solve. See this old post with pics, here... And yes, that PTO will bolt up just fine. You may also need to get new mounting bolts and...

    Oil seal mod. for 3053 input shaft

    With all respect: that's the problem; your "model" is just wrong: it shows 87.5mm where in reality we have 88.9mm (3.50"). So instead of 2.5mm material left it really is only 1.1mm (in the best case). It's just common sense; if you actually measured that part you will come to that same...

    Water in transmission

    You saw this picture... and the corresponding gear ratios in that post; that's exactly what you have there. 3053 or 3053A or 3053B doesn't matter, they all have the same ratios. G.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    No way; not for the -465-family of Multifuels at least: the liner has a 4.75" O.D. with a 1/8" protruding rim (5.0" O.D.) which fits into a recess in the block, and sitting exactly flush with the deck surface. Either the modern 1pc-head-gaskets - or the fire rings, for the older style HGs -...
