I second the cutoff tool. I think using a puller is probably a waste of time and using a torch would be my last resort. A plasma cutter would work well but you have to be oh so very careful. However, I would cut it parallel to the spindle so if you go through it is in line with the stress...

There are Power supplies that are regulated with variable output that are available that produce up to 28 volts. You can use a circuit breaker on each feed line to limit amperage and charge several trucks at the same time. Some of these suppies are capable of 25+ amps and on the surplus and...

The cab and bed is a M35 but whether it has a turbo or not sort of has to do with when it was rebuilt and all that. The truck looks decent. I am sure you can probably replace the bed with a good take off cheaper than you can remove the tank and clean up the welds and find all the parts and...

I searched earlier today for over an hour for the information. The table for all vehicles is in FM 5-36 and that particular manual is not on the site and is not on the web either. If some one has that manual and can scan the table with the vehicle lists and classifications it would be a great...

one man bleeding operation without pressure bleeder There is a different way to bleed your brakes with one person besides using a pressure bleeder. here is how you do it alone. 1) You need to have one pint bottle. I use old gatoraid bottles as they seal pretty well afterwards. Another plus is...

A cooler is a key to extended transmission life and happiness. Without it, you risk internal damage to components if you really "stress" your transmission. Stress to an automatic transmission is simply "HEAT". Heavy use creates HEAT and getting rid of it is paramount to keeping the clutches...

I guess I would offer that if the price is decent, you cannot be hurt in buying it, even if it does not run. Look for obvious defects and problems, like a rod through the block, a transmission and/or transfer case falling apart, and for severe leaks anywhere. Also look for missing parts and...

I saw some original boots at JATONKAs and they are identical to the ones he sells. As a matter of fact I believe there is a picture on JATONAKS site that has both in it. I have a set of JATONKAs boots in my deuce and they do a great job keeping the heat out and the cold out depending on which...

Jatonka is alive and well.... I have first hand knowledge that Jatonka is alive and well. We camped out at the Jatonka Compound last weekend and he was busily tending to things. Your best bet is to email him and he will get back to you via email within a day or so. Jatonka's email is on the...

I got the both the short and the long handles for mine when I bought it. It was a civilian tool apparently, but is exactly the same as the military one. When I did my PM on the bearings this spring, I found that one 'corner' had the lugs and inners on so tight I had to use a 6 foot handle to...

I have a friend with a ROLL BACK and he slides it on and off for me. I do him favors and he returns them by this. RL

I found mine on Ebay for about 100$ shipped. RL

torque multiplier a must I have a torque multiplier and I use it to remove and tighten my lugs and inners. I do not use air tools and here is why. If you have a flat on the road and have to fix it, you may not be able to get the lugs and or inners off if they are run down with a 1" impact...

Here is my solution to the t bolt problem and keeping your tailgate level. The clevis are half inch and are around 5-6$ ea at Tractor Supply. I always use both as I do not want to bend the tailgate. RL

My Deuce is a drop side. I find the convenience of the drop sides invaluable. When I want to have the tailgate horizontal, I found at first that the chains and T bolts are too short to allow that. I use a clevis to extend the T-Bolt to the slot where the T bolt goes and that allows the...

bearing preload is critical When you adjusted the bearings how much "preload" did you apply"? The bearings can run hot if they are too tight. This also causes the grease to run out as well. I adjust mine as follows: I snug the bearings with the spanner socket and rachet until they bind...

You need a "SOLDIER B" in order to bleed the brakes without a pressure bleeder. I have used my 7 year old son, who actually did better than some adults who have insisted they knew how to bleed brakes who offered to help me. RL

From your posts, I would wager you almost have the system bled out. You need to find out why you are not getting fluid at the one rear you are trying to bleed. Chances are the bleeder is plugged. Clean as follows. Take the bleeder out. From the rear, or outside, the center has a hole...

specs for the shelters Thanks for the compliment. The S250 is mounted on a civilian trailer that is built to milspecs. A single axle, with brakes rated for 5500 pounds, weighs almost 1300 without the shelter on it. VERY HEAVY DUTY and has leveling jacks on the rear corners and sits 22 inches...
