Today I inspected a duce(wildland fire truck) and the department left the switch on and when I got to it the batteries were drained all the way down. Now I remembered the eariler discussion about hyrdo lock. I was nervous to crank the engine, I took the intake tube off from the turbo to the...

I work with guys who have rebulit many, IF they can it should be allright. I will be doing 2 his winter when things get slower at work. Teeing in to the air is easy I have converted one.

This is what I do. Place gen in a vise, ground the vise, apply 24 volts to the main battery terminal on the gen, jump the field wire to the main battery terminal on the gen. DO this first and try to spin the gen by hand. It should be tough. Next step, attach a high speed drill to the bolt on...

You are right ida, also the 1009 uses a volt meter as i recall, not a amp gauge. YOu can buy gauges from napa or carquest for around $20. I would use the mechanical gauges, NOT electrical gauges.

I am sorry, i dont use loc-tit. I use anti-seize on the lug nuts, just a small small dab to prevent them from rusting tight!

Is there a spec for the lug nut torque on the M35? I just hammer them down with lock-tite.

Anyone have a pic of this glass plunger fitting?

Later in the summer there will be a auction in colorado, probably a lot of gasser REO's, M715, a few M35. I will keep everyone posted

I send ours to DriveTrain Industries and have them re-line the shoes, dont throw them away!!

yes, the t case uses ATF. there is a seal that seals the trans oil from the t case oil.

I've noticed that the 2nd gear on some duces around here can be hard to "find." I have also noticed that engine RPM is important when shifting into 2nd. This may just be a coincidence but I would drive it a little more. To check the clutch disc for slippage, put the trans in 1st and slowly...

I have changed quite a few steering knuckle boots and find that usually they are not very full, I wouldn't get to carried away with the grease it will just squirt out of the zipper. 3 tubes seems like plenty. Try it and let me know!

UPDATE: No voltage on field wire from ignition switch, replaced ignition switch and adjusted generator. Problem fixed. While under the dash looking at the ign switch, there was no "number 1" stamped wire like the diagram says. There are two number 11 wires. Anyone seen this? ALso there is...

What is the difference between the M35 and the M44? Is it the duel brake system?

I thought it only serves as a fast idle solenoid? It can shut the engine off?

Where is this soleniod located at?

Well I found the problem. The new caliper I installed has a different casting on the inside of the caliper. It must of been binding. I installed a used caliper off another front diff and no problems. The caliper shim went in very smoothly on this one. I got a new(reman) cailper from Napa and...

Use a short wrench like you said. What I do is take the lock nut all the way off and grind the locking part off the nut(the top part). Then I install with ease and then get another nut to use as a jamb nut, tighten the 2 nuts together and next time you need adjustment wal-ah. You will have to...

Allright guys, thanks. I will check into it and let you know what I find.

Should it be hot while the engine is running?
