If we are talking about the front spring shackles themselves, YES, they are weldable like mild steel. I've "integrated" them into my dump bed hinges, for example. MIG weld on clean, well prepared joints is always the best and safest way to go, IMHO. If in doubt with materials or method, weld a...

You mean that the outer races (cups) are both the same #3920, but inner bearing (cone) #3994 is different from outer bearing cone #392. :-) :ditto: G.

Yes, that is a way, of course, if all you want is just one speed or N, in this case it would be LOW, that is 2/3rds of engine speed and same direction of rotation. Also, plugging that reverse shaft hole with the already existant closed-end bearing wouldn't be a problem, either. Question is: is...

Very understandable... although not clear why you want to remove the guard completely? Any of the 4 lower bolt holes go all the way through to the inside. Usually I unscrew the inner/rear bolt to check for water. G.

Oh really? If so, then M35A3 wheels must also be inappropriate for these tires.....???? Please...!, may I suggest informing yourself a bit more about MPT tires and wheels, before posting such statements? After that and and maybe a closer look at the rim of that particular custom built wheel...

Minimum acceptable lenght for (any type) hex cap screws there, with the spring washer, is 7/8". Try them on - you will see they will fit only in the 12-, 2- and eventually the 4- o'clock position... and in one of them you could barely get a 5/8" long bolt in.... So better to use the correct...

Exactly... LD-645-1 !!! Must be the rare SUPER-NON-TURBO-MULTIFUEL version!?:) G.

I would check the LDS465-1 Troubleshooting Manual ...... (again) G.

Soooo....., then it has a turbo (any model)...? and your truck is a M35A2 model which would exclude the early 427 cu.in. engine...? => Your options are: LDT465-1C, LDT465-1D or (unlikely) the LDS465-1 or 1A. Either one of these use the last of the 3 marks, in the sense of rotation. (upper one in...

Here's some more to study, regarding backlash adjustment.... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/26819-backlash-m35a2-pto.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/19035-checking-pto-gear-backlash.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/14308-pto-gasket.html G.

FWIW: Yes, I had to learn this lesson about 15 years ago.... when I found out that these engines actually do start AND run AND smoke a lot with the crank 360º off...! And all the symptoms described here were exactly the same.... !!! Only reason I kept quiet is because it couldn't be just...

See it here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/54617-a3-wheel-bearings.html No word about if the rear axles on the A3 where modified also, for the new seals.... ??? G.

Yes...., that's why I had suggested exactly this company to the OP.;) G.

...... only 3/32" here! Plan is to rebuild/replace one floor completely using 1/8" marine grade steel. G.

Personally I have no experience with installing these in 5tons. Possibly easier due to more work space between tranny and frame on the right side? Trouble.....? Just keep in mind that the backlash needs to be checked and adjusted by selecting the correct gasket thickness. If you are real lucky...

That's correct. And you would probably suggest the same after only a short test drive with that driveshaft removed. G.

Don't know.... being this is your first one, probably half a day? Most certainly you already did your search homework....? like reading this one: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?28463-pto-rebuild.html ... if not, I would strongly recommend doing so; among other good info it tells...

It takes 5 seals in total: One for each output shaft, two for front shift shaft, one for rear accessory shift shaft. G.

:ditto: Check your rear spring seat bearings/bushings for excessive wear and play. G.
