I worked for the Army at Yuma Proving Grounds for a short time years back, and I learned costs on equipment sent in as surplus was the total of purchase plus whatever was spent on repairs & labor during it's life. Be it a truck or a file cabinet, it carried a history in terms of dollars...

The unit is here now. Your choice, either complete case or just the difference parts. In great condition, $500 plus shipping. Includes all levers, data plates, eTc. Memphis just sold the last one they had, and plan on not ordering more according to their HQ as of 2 days ago. Not on eBay...

Keep in mind the acquisition cost as represented by uncle sam was not only what they paid for it, but also what was accrued in keeping it up till they get rid of it. And a 5-ton is bigger, meaner, and made of more of what a duece is. Tee hee. dg

Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, California, Texas, and across the border in Mexico. dg

The idea about the sprag rod is something to look at. It moves fore & aft with the 1st-reverse shift, and if it is out of adjustment it can cause the problem you are referring to. To check it out, pull the linkage from the rear of the top of the trans and see if your reverse pop-out problem...

The flasher uses a three-pin Bendix plug for connection. One of the wires is rather short and goes to a ground lug. dg

It looks a lot like the target trucks on a military range out here. dg

The ability to totally succumb to "Green S**t" disease can make a total nitwit out of a person. One really needs to be careful, as it is more dangerous than juggling hand grenades! Tee hee. dg

Your brakes ought to be OK. A little heating when first moving is just the rust on the drums that forms when it sits for awhile. I've bought lots of trucks on the West coast and most of them had brake drag at first. dg

You can pop off the brass caps of any of the screw-in covers for a really obnoxious glare if you need to, and on most tacticals it is not a big deal as the dash in not in your direct line of sight. They are useful for indicators for back-up lights, beacons, eTc. The military regularly uses...

"Should we fire now, commander?"

Fuses? Right idea, wrong application. Other than the one in the stock fuel pump, there are no fuses in a duece. Only breakers. The best way is a ammeter in series with the + battery lead (s). It would be easier to read if it were say a 0- to 1 Amp scale. All switches off for the first...

We are leaving tonight for the holidays in Albuquerque, back in 10 days. I will bring back one only complete low-miles M35 transfer case with the REB kit in it. Also the lever, floor shift gate, and data plates from Memphis Equipment. (The plates are rare) I'll offer it here first at $650...

Seems to me the easiest and safest thing to do to run 10-bolt Budd wheels on a duece is to take the stock hubs, knock out the studs, fab a steel plate with the 10 studs needed and a couple locating pins in it, and weld it to the malleable flange of the hub. You run on welded wheels every day...

The only one with a "lever" is the REB kit from Memphis (REB stands for Reo Eager Beaver, by the way). It sticks up from the floor to the right of the transmission shifter. No stock M35 or any G742 truck has a manual lever for front drive. The air shift transfer uses just that, air. You have...

Nah, too big to scan. I can have them copied at Kinkos, though. Several pages of cool data. ddg

Yep. You do not need to engage the front for either low or high range. Matter of fact, it is synchronized as well to afford easy range changes. ddg

What a wonderful application! How does it run temp-wise? Good to see someone else with 105 trailer use on the smaller trucks, much handier than the old 101's. ddg

One big Ford there. Production was very limited, around 500 or so. IMHO, the axles are side-loaders very similar to those in a lot of garbage trucks. ddg

Most truck supply houses have remote drain valves using a small 48" steel cable. You replace your butterfly valve with it, and run the cable anywhere handy so all you have to do is give it a tug and the job is done. \ dg
