    Axle noise? video

    If it's getting louder, I bet you're right and may have an issue. I have some spare axles and probably access to more down here south of you if you come up needing parts.

    Axle noise? video

    If I'm not mistaken, the Rockwell bull gears are helical (straight, but angled teeth - noisy by nature). Most modern single reduction axles are hypoid (curved teeth-silent by nature). You can see both types in this cutaway. Primary reduction up top is hypoid and seconday, the big gear, is...

    Parts truck

    Howdy. I'm an M35 guy. I just heard there's a CCKW locally that's being threatened with the scrap yard. I don't have interest in myself, but wanted to put it out there. It's rough, doesn't have a bed, and may have a Ford engine and stickshift in it...thoughts? Hope to go see it Saturday. Thanks

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Several drops times 10. Keep putting it in until it comes out the bottom end. Need a pointed rubber tip nozzle to fit over the cable and seal into the housing.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Came back at lower speeds. Guess I need to pull it out and grease it.

    M275A2 DOA but now RUNS!

    Great story, lot like my first, the '62. Really like the stubby deuces. For future readers : make sure you block the small inner port on the air cleaner if you think you might need to suffocate the engine.

    Wow, that looks a LOT like my truck. Same faded green color and black frame, fuel tank, aircleaner hat, etc., same black bedliner. I wonder if they came through the same place at some point.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yup! I threaded it back on real quick and took it for a drive to help distribute the oil in the sleeve.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Lubed speedo cable, had a bad bounce. Looked new and shiny so I didn't remove it, just disconnected the ends. Dribbled oil in the top end a little at a time and forced it through with a rubber tipped air nozzle. Reminds me, there was an O-ring shriveled up in the Tcase end I need to get back...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Hot and running, loosen until tick, tighten until tick goes away, correct? Thanks

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    Excellent. We'll kick it around over here at work. Any ideas as to what price point/quantity might be?

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Dunno, ain't been that deep. Doubt it. Bet rusty knows. That's just a random vid I grabbed to show what I was talking about (fuel shutoff). If I had to guess, that rod is moved by the governor weights/throttle. It moves when throttle is moved with engine running.

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Don't tighten the wired screws, or it WON'T be free. Need to be wired as they are.

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Pull the plug out of the middle of the hydraulic head and measure how much the plunger travels up and down when you turn the engine over. Open this up and make sure it's free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faaqDjAzEmc

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    That's the flame heater for cold starts. Irrelevant for your starting issues. Most people delete them when they start to leak. The injectors should be shooting fuel 3-4 FEET, not inches. 3000 skin-piercing psi.
