While trying to remove the air tank drain valve, it broke off in the tank.
David apparently tried to remove it. Apparently, after drilling the hole, it appears to be very close to the threads.
Any suggestions on how to remove the remaining bronze?-
I found the tear down interesting, but inconclusive. I am no engineer and neither unit has been compared under stress. I find the Ouverson unit interesting as well as the AVM. But, the question still remains, how much makes a difference?
You may be more impressed with the 'seeology' than the...
Benchmarking generally involves standardized tests as opposed to gee whiz comparisons. What began as a gee whiz comparison became disparagement in the follow up post.
Everyone should just trust their own judgment at this point as there are no test results, only pics and gee whiz look at this...
That link shows alloy hubs by Ouverson. I thought gringeltaube said the Ouverson hubs he examined were steel castings?
Are there two kinds of Ouverson hubs?
It would seem to me that you need to make a third version, to your ideas, then we can all compare the completed products and see if one does out perform the other.
Product dispargement is not a new idea in marketing. And, at times over engineering a product as a sales point is effective.

Re: RE: AVM hubs
I have been running the AVM hubs for some months. No problems to report at all.
I have also been in manufacturing. Some things never change it appears. Just as one company has some item to tout another has different ideas.
The pics simply show differences in manufacturing...
Rebuilding it can be frustrating, to say the least.
NickD has an article in a past MV Mag on this which is very helpful to you. I suggest you get the copy for reference.
Personally, I was unable to follow all of Nick's steps as his motor is set just a bit further away from the steering box...
My experience and mine only, is that frequent changes of oil keep diesels happy.
Your experience may differ.
But, not having oil pressure for a 1/4 of a minute is a really bad way to treat a diesel engine.
Short of putting in a pre-lube system, the jatonka filters work best for instant...
I am doing the brakes on the M35. I am using new parts for everything other than the drums, where possible.
I picked up this air pack cheap, It may or may not be for the M35?
Local military vehicle owners are invited to the first, or something like that, MV owners meeting/BBQ/beer tasting at 2038 University Drive, The Entry Door, Denton on Saturday.
The local VVA Chapter is hosting. If you need something worked on, bring it, there will be plenty of help.
The event...
The originals had some surface rust as if they were stored outside for a long time. I got mine early on from you. It sat a while but I was up at RAPCO one morning when Mark indicated he wanted one also. It seems there is no supply available other than the batch you found. So, I leaned on a...
