    New Girl from North GA

    Nice! ... although I was really expecting something "pink-camo"...?:-P G.

    MRAP wheels and tires on a deuce?

    Wishing I could help you with that, since I don't have one near to measure... and that spec does not appear in any of the M35A3 TM's. All I can say is that A3's take a different spring seat (perch) (see this pic) - allowing for more (positive) caster than the earlier series M44 trucks. G.

    WARNING: Bad Torque Rod Ends

    I would "pick some samples" and put them to test: carefully( !) support the outer sleeve and press down on the stud, about 3/8" - both directions. Everything should fully return to its original shape, with NO signs of rubber separating from the sleeve! G.

    Braden winch tear down

    Press down what? I can't find what you see would be a problem. It is not a critical area there. Just put some moly grease down inside that cavity, before final assembly, to have as a lube reserve. BTW, do you still have the original (short) setscrew for the fork? G.

    Windshield Frame Seal

    Correct! Look for (black) Sikaflex221 or any equivalent products. G.

    A2 vs A3 cab

    If I had the exact M939 cab dimensions (top view) I could easily "integrate" both drawings.... All I know is that the outer WS frame is 11" wider. That would be about 73.5", vs. 62.5" for the M44 series. Not clear yet how to "mate" that dimension with the m35's cab tub which measures 69.75" at...

    backlash on m35a2 pto

    Basically by doing that (as in post #4) you will actually SEE one gear (PTO input) moving freely just a tiny bit, until it starts turning the other gear (rev. idler) - in both directions. Ideally, backlash should be ±0.01" (general rule of thumb); and be asured: that is VERY visible! Also...

    WOW...!:shock: ... really? G.

    Found pieces of metal in tansfercase, it's a shame because i was going to sell it

    Sorry to disappoint you but that won't happen... If you decided to keep the truck then better plan on replacing those seals and polish the sealing area of the companion flanges; it is not that difficult to do with the T-Case in place. I have all housing dimensions and replacement seal numbers...

    A question about M35A2 running lights

    You just need a jumper between wires #491 and #21. Or run a wire between terminals L and H, on the light switch. See it here.... G.

    Rear output PTO?

    Yes, the output shaft has an excentric portion, to move the piston. So it works in both directions. G.

    Where can I find a Winch plate ?

    Here are some, said to be NOS: winch dataplates Or contact Greg (dataplatesnet) if you want something special-made. See his post, here. G.

    14.5 xl rear tire harmonics

    With a stock axle/spindle/bearings/hub -setup you will only get close to good results, at the most.....! Hey Gimpy, I'm kind of lazy too...:smile: But in this case a little extra-work is needed. The internal drag/ resistance to spin, for two large, tapered roller bearings - even if brand new...

    How do you do this to a winch shaft?

    Simple: put a steel bolt in place of the original shear pin... You are lucky if it only twisted the DS, and not rip the PTO out of the transmission. G.

    Wobbly Wheel

    ... and how tires were balanced, IF at ALL! (I would start right there....) G.

    Backspace questions

    Thanks Ron! LOL... actually this was an easy one, already stored in one of so many folders.... All the "aftermarket" 1pc 20x11" wheels I have seen so far are using the GKN shells (below...), which I have imported from the USA, years ago. So, having ALL parts involved; measuring everything...

    Backspace questions

    A 20x10" wheel with 7/2 BSp. does not exist. Check those specs/dimensions. For a perfectly reversible 1pc 20x11" wheel, see dims. below..... On the front, these will only slightly protrude from under the fender. G.

    Rear output PTO?

    .... guess we won't, unless the engine would run backwards...!;-) The single and dual output transmission-PTO's (for Deuces and M809 series 5tons) are basically all the same parts and functions. There is only one model rear (auxiliary) drive unit for both, 2.5 and 5tons - and it is driven off of...

    LU-4 winch seals numbers

    Yes, just put plenty of light grease in between both! G.

    Rear output PTO?

    That would be very interesting to see! Isn't the PTO input gear engaged to the transm. countershaft, on the 5tons? From there down you have, selectable: two N, two FW speeds + 1 REVERSE, for the front (winch)output shaft. But the rear output shaft -when engaged - is powered in one direction only...
