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.

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.
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?

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...
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...
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...
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...
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.

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...
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.

.... 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...
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...
