    5 Ton Bolt Pattern

    Adapter plates for which wheels exactly? See all 10-lug variants, here. To recenter FMTV wheels (std. 10 on 11.25" pattern, down to the Deuce's 6-on-8.75")... you can see some dims. in this post. G.

    Transfer Case Bearings

    LOL, thanks for comments, but no, we sure have REAL "Deuce-Masters" in our group; I'm still a student, with a lot to be learned... :-) hmm.., I'm trying hard to remember that part of conversation...:???: (may be I had one beer too much?):-) First of all, let me say that the viscosity of a 40W...

    deuce t-case issues

    I doubt it, but you can try. You will have to remove the old cylinder assy. anyway, so you might find what caused the massive leak. G. edit: oops... sorry, misread your post! Yes, replace the seal but you'll need to know why it failed!

    m105a2 with 14.5R20 tires

    Ron, you are probably right; it was my concern, too. I think this could be solved by extending the fenders about 2 inches. G.

    The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it

    Why would that be a problem and not the solution...? Remember KISS...!: short piece (14-16 links) of 1/2" chain (like what's used on the winch); form a ring by joining both ends into a larger eye-piece; then slip ring over lunette eye and feed large link through eye. A 3/4" or 7/8" shackle will...

    Can't remember who's these pics are, but I had saved them to my HD since I'm planning to do the same. G.

    Rims from FL to AL or GA

    Dell, I think Ron got two of these ... estimating 260 lbs each, for tire w/wheel. Also it seems to me that he has solved the transportation issue, already... But better wait until he chimes in. G.

    Actually, from Steve's place to Lakeland-Center it is less than 10 miles! G.

    Bow/tarp size

    May I suggest a little reading ?: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?80632-Cargo-cover-dimensions http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?34189-M35A2-cargo-cover-dimensions http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?9604-Size-of-M35A2-cargo-cover...

    What size hone

    Ducer: the tool I suggested above (CTA) is just one of different brands. This IS a flexible, ball type hone, and it IS the correct size 1-3/8" for the M35 wheel cylinders! Napa possibly carries KD (would be model #2483) None of these tools should cost more than $30. G.

    What size hone

    OPTIMAL: not sure...; size: 1-3/8" You may shop online for: CTA Tools 1146 1-3/8-Inch Brake Cylinder Flex Hone. G.

    Maybe too much grease...??? (it's a fairly common mistake) G.

    Lifted Deuce NO NO!

    The real question is HOW it was built.... like using custom built U-bolts, not NEW (one piece) parts but the stock ones, extended via cut- and weld-together of different pieces! G.

    5 ton rockwell axle drive flange looking where to buy some

    Many folks here are parting out 5tons; I would check the classifieds .... and why not, post a WTB-ad, too. G.

    Yes, Another Trans Stuck Thread

    It's not the shift-shaft or -rod in itself that gets stuck in Reverse. (otherwise you couldn't push it back in) I said it in post #15... and again: it is the shift lever that wears off at the tip, plus eventually a worn & deformed shift plate and other parts, all combined, that can cause this...

    Cracked A3 Wheel

    Not sure I can follow you here.... every time the crack is at the 6.00 O'clock position that area is pushed up by a force equivalent to half of the load (on that tire). During normal use - and load-depending- the whole bead flange certainly sees a lot of flexing, radially. Once a crack starts...

    2.5 T Rockwell dimensions

    Yes, very confused... indeed!:) I said both offsets are to the passenger side! So at front you got the DS displaced 3.5" + 5.3" = 8.8", from the center of vehicle, to the RIGHT side of vehicle. At the rear the DS centerline runs 5.3", from vehicle CL to the RIGHT, passenger side. Front and...

    2.5 T Rockwell dimensions

    The referred offset - center of 3rd member to center of input shaft - is 5.3", to the passenger side. The diff. housings are centered on the rear axles, only. (axle shafts are identical on both sides) The front axle has the differential off-center, also to the pass. side, by 3.5". (difference...

    2.5 T Rockwell dimensions

    1. 4.01" (top of cover plate to CL; add .32" for bolt heads) 2. 31.75" (C-C, spring center bolts) 3. 78.9" (-> rear axle, hubs flipped) Not that I know... Edit: sorry for my mistakes... first line above is top of cover plate to CL of driveshaft. DS-CL to axle-CL is exactly 6.75". 3rd line...
