I know but, "we ain't got no cold". It hit 30f at night once or twice this winter. T-shirt or light jacket during the day in the winter, summer is deadly.

Lucky me. Hopefully that's the only bad bearing. I bet it is because it's down in the rear sump where all the crud goes.

Waterloo, destructions, wish there were pitchers. Be making my own here in a bit. http://www.waterloospecialties.com/overdrive/transapart.html

Top cover next, but looks like trans is coming out and apart anyway. Probably oughta check out the TCase while I'm at it. Maybe go ahead and swap in the air shift case from the donor truck, but not sure yet if I'm stick with this old frame anyway. I haven't found much on the forum on trans...

Trans gear oil was low and nasty and these came out the drain plug. :-(

*Duck* :-P http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?3022-Why-24V-system The only reason I see remaining to stay 24v is originality...

That picture didn't post right. I've got all the floorpans off. Just got to pull the top cover of the trans. I only had an hour to work on it tonight. I'm guessing either bearings or maybe something wrong with the shifting linkage that's allowing things to drag. Gonna be thrashing on it all...

Yanked Tcase cover after work. Epic filthy under there. PTO is worn out, got it disengaged, didn't change noise. I have a Hyd winch I might use it for after rebuild later. Loose and missing bolts and ujoints in the jack shaft, less noise now now that I tightened the bolts. Noise is in...

I suspect the water truck PTO might be making all the racket. Was wired engaged, can't get it to disengage...yet. Got a half inch of dried up grease/oil/dirt all over it. Trans doesn't make much noise in gear with TCase in N...maybe pop the rear sheetmetal cover and put the mechanic's...

Need to research and then pop the trans open and see why it's falling out of gear and making such a racket.

Here is what I presume is an A1 primary filter. On left, old secondary filter = big sock. New paper filter (on right in final filter can) would not fit the seconday "sock filter" can. Had to get a proper spring loaded seat from my A2 donor truck (old rusty can on floor in cab) and cut...

I need to look again, but it might be a separate diaphragm and ring seal, and if the seal is separate, my seal guy can probably get me one. Beautifully simple I think, spring pushes it down normally so it makes electrical contact until air pushes the diaphragm up. Top is threaded and...

Drilled and tapped the vent hole. Diaphragm on the inside is rotted out. Doubt if it's available, so I'll probably eventually have to change the whole switch. Mine is old style, yours may not be the same. I'll add a pic in a sec. Photobucket :evil:

To come work at/run http://www.wymoreinc.com with my mom. Her dad (my grandpa) started it in '47. I've been here around 15 years now, worked my way up through the shop. My dad still lives up there, works for a small railroad. He's a train nut as well as MVs. You ever get over to Whidbey? I...

So I did some M35A1 searching last night, and ended up searching through stb64's posts too. Pretty knowledgeable guy it seems, thanks for your posts! Some things I learned to check: Orientation of the front crossmember, mine is the early multifuel vertically oriented rectangular tubing...

I think the one on the left is a wind chime and the one on the right is a light. Silly phone...my brother and I, and a rare heavy snowfall.

Few years? Few months! I was thinking about it earlier, this thread is going to be like one of those Haynes automotive vehicle repair manuals. Every manual based on a complete tear down and rebuild! Here is a pic of me with my dads '53 Reo after pulling down some trees on Whidbey where I...

Had a few minutes, so I adjusted the air governor up. Now I have a slight leak out an open port in the side of what I believe is an old or type A style low pressure switch. The electrical to it is not hooked up, only the air supply. I read the TMs on replacing it but don't see this port mine...

Been researching coolant flushing. Thinking CLR, but also thinking about pulling the intake and exhaust manifolds as I seem to have exhaust and oil leaks anyway. Then blast it out with the pressure washer. Have read of plugged up cooling ports in the heads, and it wouldn't surprise me if the the...

I'd like to bring my deuce, but I don't know if I'll have it ready, and that's a long way for a just-got-it-on-the-road deuce.
