    M1009 front drive shaft

    WOW... you must have some good eyes...!? :wink: All I can see in that one picture is the "smooth" shaft sticking out of the dust cap, with about 1 inch of travel left before totally collapsed.

    6.2 splashing from the intake when cold

    On low-mileage engines, exhaust valves tend to stick in their guides because they have seals. While sitting, oil won't easily migrate in there like it does on the intake valves, which are not sealed. A stuck valve can cause the pushrod to bend and eventually slip off of the rocker arm. Even...

    Replacing M35A2 Wheel Bearing Races

    That steel punch will work better & faster; a brass drift not so much, but it is safer for your hub, at least.... As always: practice makes perfect! ;-)

    Replacing M35A2 Wheel Bearing Races

    Welcome to SteelSoldiers! If you mean the bearing cups (#3920), each hub has two of them, press-fitted into their respective seats. For removal of (old) races, seats have notches, to either apply a puller or tap them out with a brass drift. Be careful to not damage the seat's surface! Before...

    87’ M923a2 wheel configuration questions

So, the A. to Q 1: Yes, the HEMMTs will mount on your hubs and using the stock lug nuts. Only issue is, HEMTT wheels have a center that is 3/4" thick, vs. the...

    Help! Metallic "Crunching" Noise When Releasing Clutch In 3rd-5th?

    Not sure if I'm understanding what you mean by "3rd gear and up".......... ?? Just in case....... What you call "sleeve" (encircled in your diagram, post #6) is the shift collar of the 2nd-3rd synchro unit. Shifted to the front would be 2nd gear position (only). All the way to the rear, 3rd...

    Is this how a Spicer 3053A works?

    99% correct..... ;-) In your last diagram (R), it's the large gear on the mainshaft that moves back and forth, between 1st, N and Rev., so the arrow should be on the upper gear. (I know, that original drawing can be a bit confusing...) The powerflow for all positions can be found in the -34...

    PTO ?

    Yes, they are specific - even if many parts are the same for both series. Yours is a winch PTO, good for the M-39 & M809 series 5-tons. (Spicer manual transmissions #6352 and #6453 )
