    Another WC63 found...

    The WC63 along with a WC59 are both at my house. Unfortunately both are missing the windshield assemblies. Without those both are dead in the water but, the hunt continues. =)

    Winch Questions

    Apparently my Jedi search powers suck. Thank you gringeltaube for the link. First on my reading list for today.

    Winch Questions

    Exactly. While I was cleaning out the toolbox I found what appears to be a NOS snatch block shoved all the way forward. Unfortunately it appears to the the 10T 5/8" wire version. Still haven't been able to find a correct 6" block for 1/2" wire.

    Winch Questions

    Could you PM me a link or tell me what you searched? I was using the NSN on that site and that's better than what I came up with for results.

    Winch Questions

    Worst case I was going to sleeve it down a size or two for clearance but now my curiosity has been peaked. If the correct multifuel shaft is indeed a smaller OD they can be had NOS and complete for $150 shipped. I'm not above modifying something as a means to an end but I do prefer using...

    Winch Questions

    Instead of "all correct" I should have said that everything appears to have been a complete bolt-on with no fabricated parts or strange thing having been done. The flex and twist concern is exactly why I posted. Now I need to see if I can find the diameter spec for a multifuel driveline. Maybe...

    Winch Questions

    Funny you mention that. I was just reading an old thread and saw a random reference to the gas driveline and bellhousing rubbing but not much was said about it. I just checked and the PTO driveline in the truck currently is 2.00" OD.

    Any information at all is appreciated and it's no rush whatsoever. She's bedded down in a nice warm shop for the winter. =)

    Winch Questions

    It looks like yours has been changed out like mine was. Below is the best reference photo that I have of an original lead chain and hook. You can see that the hook definitely looks oversized for the chain.

    Winch Questions

    While going over the new to me M35A2C I ran across something odd. The truck is a WO/W that has had the correct winch installed. Everything appears to be original parts and the install looks like clean. While spooling the wire off to take it down for a new thimble I heard a very light dragging...

    Long term storage of rubber and plastic parts?

    Thanks for the input. I forgot all about silicone oil as a preservative. I have heavy Mylar bags that approximate the original military packaging to eliminate sunlight exposure. Below is the original master cylinder packaging from Bendix.

    Long term storage of rubber and plastic parts?

    I actually downloaded and read that before I posted. Yes, I search and read for days first in the hopes that I won't look like an a**. All I see in that is the standard cool, dry, and keep away from ozone heavy environments. Unless I missed it I don't see anything regarding the use of O2...

    Long term storage of rubber and plastic parts?

    I'm part of the prepper wing. That's why I already have all of the storage supplies. =) Unfortunately that side of the world doesn't really discuss the storage of rubber products. Just food and powder.

    Long term storage of rubber and plastic parts?

    I was wondering if anyone has any insight into the long term storage of soft part like rubber seals? I have two items so far that I would like to store safely. A replacement seal for the air cylinder on my Air-O-Matic and a dual circuit master cylinder. I know that many of the military spares...

    Late Model USAF M35A2C Registry

    I have access to casting companies but I would be awfully leery of making parts for a brake system.

    Do you happen to have a part number on the one that you ordered?

    Air-O-Matic A2 versus A3 differences?

    I was reading the old thread about parts availability. Does anyone know of replacement cylinder seal (o-ring) availability? I tried Arthur (apbloom) but no reply.
