    Official Deuce Aftermarket Wheel Thread

    I would....... 1) .... put a price on it so that it covers material and workmanship + some extra (for beer)! 2) ..... advertise and sell them for off-road use, only! Keep up the good work![thumbzup] G.

    winch drive shaft

    Thankyou John! AND that's a very tempting offer; one never knows what the future will bring...... ... although after looking at your temps and weather right now I think I might prefer staying here in the warm and sunny South for a little longer; at least a few more weeks!:smile: Also...

    Not all winch levers are created equal!

    Thank you; just learned something more here, about our winches! :D Although I believe the Fe ones are not cast but forged...? G.

    winch drive shaft

    OK, this is what I found: 1) Where the cover comes closest to the shaft (hatched area, 1st pic) the wall thickness is 5.5mm. Grinding a shallow groove there, 2mm deep, would not affect structural strength of the steering box, IMHO. 2) Internally there is plenty of clearance between the...

    winch drive shaft

    Can we assume that the truck's frame is perfectly straight; that there are no shims for whatever reason between steering box and frame; and that there were no changes made to the steering gear cover (regarding shape) in the later production years...?? Probably YES, for all. Now before thinking...

    m35 pto gear question

    Very interesting info, indeed! A huge qty of PTO's in every configuration for every imaginable application BUT... nothing (that I could find) would fit our old Spicers: Besides correct size, position and depth we need to look for a gear 7.2 (or 7.18 )P 20º PA 29ºRH, according to their chart and...

    Always wanted an M715...

    Yes, and I think that in cases like this the thread could simply be moved to the corresponding classifieds section, by a mod..? G.

    PTO rebuild issues

    Yes; and no big deal, those parts can easily be made (turned with lathe), if you can't find them online or elsewhere. Let me know if you need dimensions. G.

    PTO rebuild issues

    No, it doesn't....:) After the seal is in - not flush in this case but all the way down to the bottom of the hole - you have about 5.5mm left for the metal cup (pic) It goes pressed in just like the seal and comes to sit flush to the housing surface. Then - install the boot's lip (with some...

    12.50 vs 1100x20 Tires?

    I suppose that's what the seller told you - but it is NOT correct! Loaded radius (which is what counts) is way different: 20.5" for the stock 11.00-20, vs 19" or less for those 12.5R20's. Try to find 14.5's, they do match! Also clear that you need MPT wheels for these tires! Best if you can...

    Wheel and Axel Hub Dimensions

    Drawing below shows exactly how it looks like, with the lug nut in place (stock Deuce center plate). Also for comparison two options for 3/8" custom plates, with #1 being stronger, of course but requiring the rear hubs to be flipped. 17.86" BTW, If I was going your route I would choose 1/2"...

    Wheel and Axel Hub Dimensions

    Hi and Welcome! The Deuce bolt pattern is 6 on 8-3/4"; the HEMTT (5ton) has 10 on 11-1/4". Not clear why you still wanted a side view of a Deuce wheel center since all the important dims. are already shown in those drawings? Anyways here is one, with more data... (below) As for lug hole...

    m35 pto gear question

    PTO Input Gear Specs Maybe they have an updated catalog for all gear options as well as relative axial position, and hopefully we can find one that matches...? Otherwise I would try to do what Tom suggested. Below is what I can measure (relatively precisely) from mine... but this is far from...

    LDS-465-1A Rebuild

    You may be right; I see that crack at 3.00... now IS that the liner? All I have here to compare with are 427 blocks, with the liners (rusted) in place, protruding approx. 1.5mm from the deck surface, with the copper ring (same thickness) still around it. (= old gasket style) G.
