    M54 transfer shot.

    O.K. After examination it is the High Ratio syncro ring that is torn up. Apperantly the truck was in a boggy field, with the engine running, and in high ratio first gear.. The guy let out the clutch, and the truck went 'bump' and stayed where it was!. (Yeah really(shudd'a run a landrover...

    using a military antenna with am/fm radio

    Any radio receiver will work fine. If you must transmit, just have a switchable splitter (common from radio shack etc) And a good Aerial matcher/swr meter. I had that setup in my F350 ambulance, with a stereo, and a C.B. I used a K.7. C.B. antenna, but in the wrecker we use the U.S.Army 8 foot...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    I have air assisted steering on my deuces. And the M45 530C fire truck. I have an additional deuce air tank underneath, and have the ability to 'lock to lock' steer (stationary) on hard standing with two fingers. OK, it takes longer to air up, but that is well within the pr-warm up and walk...

    New Purchase...M816!

    M62. All points good follow them up. Nice truck, will look a really nice addition to your 'stock' when 'Tarted up'. Another point, Service the support legs (4) at the sides of the truck. Makes them easier (possible!) to extend out. Be AWARE (yourself and other users) that 'heaving' out those...

    M54 transfer shot.

    Thank you for the advices, Yes you are correct, the older T.M.s certainly are hard to see and decipher. It does make one wonder who writes this stuff up. Whilst it may be difficult to write up a manual, sometimes a more practical and methodical as well as EASILY understood form of conveying...

    Welcome to the site. The M35A2 is a very good truck to get into the hobby with. Sturdy, reliable, and easy to service and maintain. Start reading up on the T.M.s Download the applicable ones to your truck and get for- knowledge. If (If) you have no experience with a truck, especially a military...

    M54 transfer shot.

    That's a fact. However I have to take the noisy transfer out of the camper, and build one good one from the two. That, will be a huge task, and will require ALL hands. Fortunately the Easter holidays approach and the helpers should be here.

    M54 transfer shot.

    ADDENDUM>. (And) After ALL that struggling, note, the 'offending' part (the bearing pressed on the shaft) Has no effect or influence on the disassembly procedure whatsoever!. ( I just WISH the T.M. had made that abundantly clear from the outset). It's just an 'interpretation' problem. I hope my...

    The damage. Weak componant. I was More than disappointed to see such a weak design. Scammell KRAZ URAL use 'DOGS' Solid, tough, dependable, and almost indestructible. Brass gun metal synchros?. In a combat Wrecker Truck?. That is no way 'tough'. If I could, (can), I Would, will, rid the brass...

    M54 transfer shot.

    Task completed. Ok. firstly thank you everyone for the input. T.M.9-2320-211-35 Is as good as they come. But, the details simply too vague.I have yet to even see a complete schematic showing the sprag assembly when withdrawing the case. So after taking some Serious 'consideration' (?) I really...

    M54 transfer shot.

    Thank you for your time and effort. And, YES, Exactly as I had thought and interpreted. However, My front case came off no problem, LEAVING the SPRAG assembly STILL in position on the shaft. (So with or without that sprag assembly (still mounted or not)) On the shaft, does Not negate the problem...

    1963 M37 B1 top speed issue

    WE had trouble with governors running this newly available type fuel. But stripping and cleaning and adjusting helped.

    M54 transfer shot.

    O.K. No responses, (that) leads me to the conclusion nobody has stripped one of these transfer cases. (Just replaced them(and no wonder trying to decipher the "T.M.)). So tomorrow I am going to 'Attack' this thing in a methodical and logical sequence. (That the T.M. 'joke' manual! does NOT...

    Help identify this picture, please...

    That does not look one 'seller' you should trust. A humvee that is not. Try asking him to supply a ..food mixer!. (and, Look elsewhere).

    M54 transfer shot.

    Thank you, But not in this case. (as) Yes the INPUT case comes off With the sprags, (which then dismantle and fall all over the place! (if you are unlucky). I was half way lucky, Only one sprag fell apart. No matter, it's no problem re-building them back anyway. The input shaft you cannot press...
