My thinking indeed. Even though the M1028 is pretty rough right now haha. I'll see if my dad wants to drive the CUCV.... Will

. You have to get it out & look at it. I once had an OTR truck with a similar problem, as the one you are describing & when I got it out, I thought the ring & pinion were trashed. I took it to a gear shop that I trusted & they assured me the R & P were far from shot. Bearings did the...

If my third member is repairable, I will end up putting a locker in that, then putting lockout hubs on the front and swapping them to the front has the locker. Good idea! Will

I have to jack the back up anyway because I have a flat tire so that won't be a problem. No problem pulling the shafts. My buddies and I will come up with some crafty way to get the third member out. I am feeling some ratchet strap magic will be occurring... I am working on acquiring a new...

I need to pull the axle to swap the third member? It looks like there is plenty of space to get it out/in with the axle in place. Especially because it is the rearmost axle... Will

Good, good. Is there a common failure piece on the Rockwell that I can just repair or should I put in a whole new third member? Any way I can check for breakage? Will

Metal is magnetic, shiny, and definitely steel. Seems to have been worn away at. Pictures are below.

What should I bring to the show - My new M35A2 or my NV4500 CUCV? Will

Hello All, Just changed the fluids on the M35. All of the fluids came out as expected - dirty and slightly metallic, probably hasn't been changed since 1990 overhaul. The rear axles were definitely the dirtiest with the most material on the magnets. The rearmost axle actually had two pieces...

Perfect, I like that method. If they needed to be retorqued, it is about 30 years late haha. I'll report back. I will be doing this next weekend, I have finals today and snow (?!) tomorrow so progress is slow. Will

Question - I see conflicting information. What is the torque specs for the nuts for my engine? I have a LDT4651D rebuilt in 1990 and the head gaskets have the little breather vents sticking out, meaning it is the latest version. The block doesn't seem to say TD near the engine tag. Is the...

I am bringing an MEP-015 1.5 Kw if that would help for power Will

Thanks! I wasn't sure if the TM procedure still applies almost 30 years later haha I'll give it a shot. Will

Any special procedure to tighten the nuts that at this point aren't clean or oiled? Who knows the last time the bolts were checked, probably 1990. BTW your Christmas Vacation line is a classic haha Will

Thanks, I will try to tighten it (it is not really that loose no squeaks or anything). I will try and get a set before then, but if not I would surely appreciate borrowing it for a few minutes! Will

Hello, New Deuce owner here - Will make a thread when I have time haha. I am adjusting the valves right now, and was wondering if I should do anything else while I am there, like maybe re torqueing the head nuts? The head gasket seems to have some seepage on the outside of the block, no...

Ok so an update on my part - I *did* get an M35a2 so I will be bringing that, two buddies, firewood, generator, food and snacks and anything else I can think of. Does anyone have a spare air compressor wrench set they either want to sell or bring for me to just tighten my compressor? Also...

Read them! Yep, don't want any bad HGs or cracked parts! M life had already been taken over by surplus haha, generators, daily driving a CUCV, about to get a Deuce.....life is good! Hmm good tip. Check for wear in the tcase.... Will do

I read this! Thanks - great info. I have been lurking for years and literally read every deuce and cucv thread I can haha So pretty much normal stuff it looks like. Check all fluids, brakes, mud situation. Inquire about maintenance. It seems this guy drove it in parades. Pictures don't...

Howdy, I am going to look at an M35A2 this week, I have watched every deuce video there is, read every post I can.... what do I need to look for that I might miss when I check out this M35? It looks pretty clean and the owner says he drives it a lot. Any special ways to check for bad head...
