    M880 axles under M1008?

    M1008 axles are a bit wider than the M880 axles. Also, the C-C distance between spring perches is different, for both - which would be easier to adjust on the rear axle, than on the front. Basic dimensions, below.... G.

    365 80 r20 whatsit?

    Just keep in mind that 365/80R20's are MPT tires and will not fit on a stock 20x10 (5ton/ FMTV/ HEMTT) wheel! However, they do perfectly match the M35A3 rims/ wheels. G.

    365 80 r20 whatsit?

    Really...? Don't make quick conclusions; not too long ago we had this same topic already: see this thread, with pics to compare in post #17. Of course, I had to search a bit... (with the advantage of knowing that that info was to be found somewhere... :-)) G.

    Bent drive shaft. Anybody know the RPM's?

    It's whatever max engine rpm you see, divided by .79 (for the stock Spicer 3053): 2500 => 3165 2600 => 3291 2700 => 3418 etc. So "not over 3500 rpm" is correct. G.

    Windshield Frame Seal

    Wait a minute - blisters13, I just re-read your last post: you don't happen to have one of those "cheap-chin" aftermarket inner WS-frames? Those in fact come with all metric hardware! So the referred screw holding the adjuster to the inner WS is a M6x1.00. Just confirmed this, again... (I had...

    Windshield Frame Seal

    Don't know about your truck but.... from factory at least, there are no metric (and no mystery) bolts/ screws/ threads to be found on Deuces! Are any of these the ones in question.....? Then all you need are the right taps to eventually clean the correponding threaded holes. G.

    Balancing the clutch on a deuce?

    Normally, the same shops building (and balancing) drive shafts also do balance flywheels, pressure plates, cranks, etc... Yes, every one of those heavy, fast rotating parts should be balanced - to neutral in this case! Flywheel and PP are balanced as one assembly, bolted together and...

    REO 331 gasser rear main seal. Trick for replacing it?

    Gold Comet, rear main seal replacement: no tricks... and yes, it's a PITA, because only the 4 upper bolts of the total 9 screws holding the (stamped)seal retainer assy #8331248 are bolted directly to the block. The lower 5 bolts go through the retainer #7521931, from front-to-rear and are only...

    Can a deuce be driven as a front wheel drive?

    It won't handle much different - while driving straight ahead.... BUT.... as m16ty has explained in post #26: most likely the OP's M35A2 front axle shafts have U-joints, not CV-joints like a car (or most of the early model Deuces). That sure causes the typical front wheel wobble/front end...

    Recovered XM963 deuce prototype today.

    Interesting, since I always had the idea to fit the wider M939 series cab and nose on a Deuce, especially after so many are being parted out and relatively cheap, now..... Tires/wheels: aren't those 14.5R20 tires, at least the one on the middle axle, 2nd pic? ... MPT's mounted on std industrial...
