    Winch Teardown Q

    Yes, I took it apart before and looked at it. It did not appear to be damaged in anyway. I will have to take it apart and check the dimensions of my drum lock pin to the dimensions that G posted earlier. I think I even tried putting a spacer behind it to increase the spring pressure, but it did...

    Winch Teardown Q

    If that hole is wallowed out a little, will that make the lock less effective? On my truck the winch lock does not seem to work that well. If i pull on the cable by hand pretty good, it will skip right over the drum lock (when locked). I adjusted the lock as good as i think i could per the TM...

    Electric Wipers Install

    Yup, that is exactly how my cab originally was. I put an A2 dash on the A3 cab (less holes for the tranny temp gauge and diagnostic plug). The only thing to be careful of is if you fold the windshield down, make sure you pull a little wire up through the dash before laying the windshield down. I...

    Electric Wipers Install

    Here is the picture of the ground wire. Obviously it would be nicer if it went to the actual cab, but i think this works fairly good. i have not had a problem with it so far. Then again, i just got it done last night around 10:00.

    deuce steering box

    Yes, that would be easier then. When i first took my steering box out, i was not sure that i could do that, so i fought with it. live and learn. i did have to change the outer tube on my deuce when i crashed it. the important part there when putting a different tube on it is making sure the...

    Electric Wipers Install

    I thought I would make a new thread covering my electric wiper installation in my deuce. This only covers the wiring portion of the installation. When I bought the A3 cab for my deuce, I noticed they just drilled a hole in the middle of the dash and ran the wires that way. Well I think that...

    deuce steering box

    If all else fails, maybe removing the dash would help too because it might give more wiggle room for the long steering box tube. i know its a lot of work, but its food for thought. WHen i took mine out, it was a pain. i had to jack my engine up and use a porta power to push the engine around...

    Just bought my First M35A1

    the front input shaft on the winch will be hard to turn... somewhat. The reason is there is a band brake attached to that shaft in the front of the winch. it is there so the winch does not unwind if there is tension on the winch cable. Look in the TM for the winch and it will show how to...

    Hood - Rubber Strip Replacement

    I built my own pair of rubber strips using a piece of 1/4" mud flap. The mud flap (bought from NAPA for big trucks) is built like a tire and has reinforcing material just like the tires and I thought it would hold up a lot better than the originals. I don’t believe the originals had any...

    Rear Hub Removed- A Few Questions

    I did the same exact thing. Right Stuff is made by Permatex (spelling?). It is weird because there would still be a little oil seeping past those two metal surfaces and get into the bearing. Sure wish they just lubed the axles with gear oil instead. Would have made our lives a lot easier. But...

    coolant leak behind waterpump, seemingly ?

    If its leaking just behind the water pump pulley and not the housing, you are looking at buying a new water pump. Make sure the engine is good and clean so you can see a drip if one starts. I suggest tightening your hose clamps first to make sure they are tight. Start off with the simple...

    925A1 Air Pressure Gauges

    I believe the original half sweep deuce gauge reads 120psi on the top of the scale. The full sweep 900 series air pressure gauge reads 150psi. what scale is the trans temp gauge? i believe that went up to 320 degrees? did they use the same sending unit as the water temperature sending unit?

    Difference in cab soft tops per contracts?

    How do the other soft tops adress the areas at the top corner of the windshield where mine shows light through it? Does anybody have pictures of their soft tops that fit good or fit poorly?
