    Tranfer case hodgepodge

    That's what I would do... if I ever decided to use a gasket between those surfaces... :wink: (Google: Loctite 518 ) G.

    M35A2 transmission problem

    Sorry to tell you but its the same ratio... Count those teeth on the countershaft: drive gear is 42T; 5th is 46T. For ALL 3053 transmissions! Oooops.... Tom , you typed faster! LOL G.

    Tranfer case hodgepodge

    Well, normally one would lift the FRONT housing (cover) off of the case, not the other way around! The front bearing #6310 will remain in its bore; you can address that snapring later. A little persuasion via brass pin & hammer on the shaft end (with the nut in place!) while prying up - will do...

    M35A2 transmission problem

    1st counter-gear looks much better now! So drive- and 5th-counter gear were swapped already? Is that dirt I see, to the left side of 5th?? .... or some severely pitted tooth flanks? :? G.

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Ron, there are always pros and cons to everything... Lubed threads are not dangerous... but a guy who doesn't know what he's doing - HE IS DANGEROUS! My drawing was supposed to reflect what the general consensus seems to be, plus a big portion of old-fart's experience and some universal common...

    Difference between #2 - #3 Deuce Rear Ends

    Did they ever (re)build any of the M49's to be -A3 or -A4?? G.

    m35a3 rims and tires fit on m135?

    1) I see no reason why a 11.00R20 (G177 or T831) would not fit nice on a MLVW rim. 2) I know that the Michelin 11.00R20 XL actually is a TL-tire (which "may be used W/tube") 3) I cannot guarantee that those particular tires - the G177 and the T831, which are sold as TT (= Tube-Type) - would...

    M146 Trailer Deuce Wheels accept 11:00X20 Tires?

    new toy ..... m1070 HET

    I have been in contact with them 2 weeks ago: current info is that they have 18 of them! BUT.... unused doesn't mean NEW; I know that the tires at least may need to be replaced due to dryrot. G.

    new toy ..... m1070 HET

    WM, guess there are two more waiting for you....;) BTW, I'm also on the hunt... for a nice M1000. Just don't want to spend 150K, here: http://army-uk.info/news_company_detail.php?id=11 G.

    Repower Radiator Options

    Matt, this should not be a problem at all: people who put a 350sbc (or its stroker version) in a FJ40 or CJ7 know that... Try to find a HD aftermarket 4-row, copper-cored radiator (like this one) or contact this company and stay cool...! (I say copper because it is easy to repair....) FYR, I...

    Missing plug in transmission?

    No, he's still around! :) Warthog: I wondered too.... since this would be for the 8.3 CTA engine, and yes, it's there: TM9-2320-272-10, page 0034, Figure 7. Soooo... once again: RTFM!!!:-P G. Edit: The TM mentioned above is from 2012. The one in our own library is an older version, from...

    Question about front springs

    Aha... so what manufacturer/ production year is that "odd" one? Can you measure the total spring pack (stacked) height ...? (If I had to guess: 3.75"..... ????) G.

    Question about front springs

    There is no way to confuse them: 5ton springs are 3 inches wide while M44 series springs are 2-1/2". All Deuces I have ever worked on had 12 leaves. The difference between models is in the thickness of flat-stock material used for the spring leaves. The gassers (with- and without winch) are 4...

    Can I buy NEW not 95% tires.

    :ditto: Jim, just keep your eyes open.... tires like this one come up from time to time. 0-miles and usually these MV/T's are not older than 2008. Also, note the price, for a complete tire/wheel assy.....! G.
