    Axle seal quality

    OK,.... think it's my turn again...... I got real lucky to be able to get about 20 of the OEM outer seals from this guy: sandcobra164 He still might have some left...??? These sure are built different, with the that kind of mini diaphragm pressure plate built in to the back side of it's...

    deuce power steering gear boxes

    According to your pics posted, that is not exactly correct... read some more about differences between models here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/15916-power-steering-deuce-3.html I would not recommend using the HF54044 model. Besides other differences the...

    Will a deuce accept two PTO's?

    TC output housing

    Correct, and the math is easy to do from this old diagram showing the number of teeth for each gear: R-output is 22T:33T while F-output is only 21T:34T. 22 div.33, times 34, div.21 = 1.0794. That is, for 1 complete revolution of the front propeller shaft the rear has to turn 1.08 revs., or in...

    Air compressor regulator noise

    .... not clear how that loud knocking sound could come from the air governor? Can you feel the knocking when touching the firewall? Are you sure it is not the air compressor itself, with a bearing gone bad? :? Listening through a short piece of hose helps to positively locate the source of...

    Winch drum lock broken....help

    FWIW, I learned from this thread that some drums are drilled through: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?31822-Help!winch-drum-lock-lever-stuck If the drum was drilled through it might help to knock a broken pin out, if there isn't too much wire rope in the way. G.

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Will (carefully) do so.... :-) Long time ago I did mention that swap, here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/m880/6861-some-more-questions-rookie.html It still IS the best work truck in the fleet! No documentation done yet.... (I'm afraid of all the Dodge purists here on board! It seems like...

    overdrive gears available soon

    LOL...... exactly what I mentioned above: the lessons learned regarding HOW TO NOT MAKE (or have made) GEARS............! (cusses in German language only... :p) G.

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Don't scrap 'em, they will be good for spare parts, one day, soon enough! I know that this isn't your original idea, but.... if you could wait to find a bargain TH400, then all you need is the factory chevy 4x4 adapter/rear support to accept the NP203, after swapping input shafts, or the whole...

    overdrive gears available soon

    Thank you, Tom! For your patience and for never giving up on this very ambitious re-engineering project, even after so many drawbacks... Guess we both learned the hard way how to NOT make gears!? So you can sell quiet gears now, while I can finish writing my book and hopefully sell some...

    M35A3 Mod

    Just my words....! If the whole cab with fenders was raised only 2" it would allow the hood to remain in (normal) horizontal position and it would look much better IMHO. But then they had to mod the steering column, pedals, shifters, and so much more.... Now, if there was the M35A4...

    Rear inner axle seal

    .... certainly a well known problem and very valid question: how to avoid distorting a brand new seal during installation! Years ago (and still in use) I made a "special" tool from an old 3994 bearing cone, by sanding its I.D. (to allow to slide on/off easily) and also by turning off some...

    Trans stuck in first gear but shifter moves

    Good for you! If the shift mechanism was all OK you can jerk it like mad, it won't let two gears engage simultaneously. My suggestion is to check it out ASAP to see what happened. The bracket + set screw could be loose on the shaft or the shift plate bent or broken, something.... but no mystery...

    Trans stuck in first gear but shifter moves

    If the 1st/Rev. shift rail sticks out of the cover housing about 1" (= normal position while in 1st) then try to pull it OUT (to the back of vehicle) into neutral position, which is approx. 2 inches, from tip of shaft to housing. If that gets you out of gear then the shifter rail interlocking...

    Pinion seal removal

    RH! No left threads anywhere, except for the (left side) wheel studs & nuts. Yes...., but better if you had access to a good 3/4"drive impact wrench. It was put on.... and it HAS to come off, so it WILL come off.... either way! :-) G.
