Yes, I saw that one. But I was hoping to find the info without having to pay for it...
Thank you, that one sure helped! From the description and many pictures it seems that what I just built is exactly what it had from factory. (talk about reinventing the wheel...!)
Exactly... and yes, it's...
Both those flywheels are identical in diameter, as well as shape and number of teeth (139), so both work the same for a stock starter.
The difference is the diameter of the recess in the center: the 6.5 FW measures ~8.5", vs. ~6.5" on the 6.2 FW . Reason for it is, the 6.5 clutch disc takes a...
Resurrecting this very old one....
I'm currently working on this old-but-good M172 (attached dataplate, below): hubs are getting new bearings and more modern seals.
Also machined the non-original, wrong (course ! ) thread studs to work with regular L-R 1⅛-16 thimbles & nuts, to then accept...
Mogman is right: stock wheels are 8.25" wide and have a +54 offset.
With the wheels you just ordered the distance between outer (tire) sidewalls will be almost 6 inches more than stock.
True, but it's relatively easy to tell them apart since there is a significant difference in size, besides the "70" cast in the housing
(And contrary to what many say, their covers are not interchangeable - even if the bolt pattern is the same for both)
Exactly that is what I was told (and yet had to confirm): that there are at least two different hub designs, and that the bearings are not the same, for both. Also, the brake shoes on one are 2.5" wide and the other one has 3" shoes.
Fact is that the std drums that came with 2.5" will accept...
Reason enough...
1) Obviously the heads were ground with the cups still in place!
2) They should have seen that crack and pressure tested, at least!
Cyl 2 also shows some suspicious spots. Maybe take a closer look to the areas encircled...
1st, do what nyoffroad suggested.
2nd, the stock rotors/calipers at front vs. the now bigger WCs (and drums) on the 14-bolt may cause a braking action imbalance, front/rear. That is, dragging your rear tires every time you need to stop fast...
In that case I would try to find WCs with a smaller...
No, this is about the M35 and we are talking about the Spicer transmissions for the Deuce, here.
If the OP ends up swapping his "Gold Comet" with a Multi he will have to replace his 3052 (5th direct) with something else, with at least 25% OD.
Easiest would be the Spicer 3053 (or 3053A) and...
I can't tell what transmission you have...
AFAIK .85 OD did exist - in the civilian world and way back in time when dinosaurs were alive...)
But fact is that the military has never put anything other than the 0.79 version behind the Multifuel.
