    Re- babbitting a barring.

    Not to pee pee on you parade, but the bearing on the 2nd journal looks wiped too. A good rule of thumb is that the condition of the rod bearings determine the condition of the mains. Also. if the upper rod bushing is a babbited type, it too could be damaged along with any and all other bearings...

    Mounting License plate on M35A3

    Here's what I did, kinda on the same line as emmado22, but, I made my own bracket with a piece of flat stock and some spacers. As for the front, I made a bracket.

    RE: repainting I did mine with a rattle can and still do. Actually, I think yours looks fine as is. I wouldn't do anything to it. Astiff brush will take most of the GL chalk/crayon off. Just run it.

    Another Sprag Newbie Question

    Air shift t-cases are around 250-350 . Just do the swap. It will take a day to do it if you are bacanicaly aclined. The only other thing you'll need to add is the switch/light and some air plumbing.

    Re- babbitting a barring.

    When I do it, I start with a 600 grit, hit it with an 800 and finish off with a crokus cloth. Make sure you turn the engine over to get an even amount of strokes at each side, I like to give it a 1/2 turn then a 1/4 turn and then another 1/4 'till it's good all the way around. Use no oil, it...

    Re- babbitting a barring.

    Does it have individual cylinder heads? If it has to come out, it will only happen out the top. Are there still parts available for the engine. I wish you wer closer, i'd like to check that out. If you need polishing advice, let me know, i've cleaned up lots of journals.

    idle question

    Gammagoat1 is correct, but, i'd check other thngs first. Make sure the throttle arm is going all the way back to the idle position, take the linkage off...not the arm bolted to the f/p throttle shaft...and see if it changes the idle. When it starts, cold, is the idle normal...around 600-650...

    Re- babbitting a barring.

    I don't think you will be able to remove the piston from the bottom. If you could drop the rod and piston down just far enough to expose the wrist pin, you could remove the rod from the piston that way and not disturb the ringpack. On some older engines, the upper rod was bolted into the piston...

    cooling system capacity?

    Re: RE: cooling system capacity? You sure? I only put around 7 1/2 in my s#!tbox. Most newer trucks only hold 12-14 gallons and these are considerably smaller.

    M35A3 USMC Paint Scheme

    We need to hook up! Have you driven it at all yet? There might be a TM in the TM section here that covers the CTIS. I would think that the 5t and deuce stuff would be the same as to that. There I go thinkin' again!

    Spin on filter heads for 5 tons with the Cummins

    I think John Tennis asked about these...I forget. They...Cummins...are proud of these parts! 100.00 for just the head! I can most likely get them for 80 ish for all the parts except the fitting, they are straight o-ring style and are expensive too, unless I have what is needed in my box or in...
