    Timkin rears

    Thought about the same...... If anyone finds this style pin (pic) holding the brake shoe in place - replace it with the new style hold-down hardware! See this old thread (sticky) here: View topic - Brake Inspections and Warnings :: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite G.

    rebuilding inner windshields?

    YES, try to restore/re-glass your own anytime before buying one of those Chin-POS aftermarket replacements! (Save time and money..... lesson learned the hard way....:mad:, detail pics and comparative drawings available....) It takes common 6mm laminated WS-glass, cut to 684x425mm. Either clean...

    innovative uses for deuce parts

    I guess we will see an endless list of alternative uses for parts...! Recycle, re-use, etc. For example Deuce suspension shackles W/bushings & bolts plus front bumper brackets are good ingredients for (dump) hinges... :wink: G.

    Tips and tricks - zippered front knuckle boots

    Zippered or not, grease helps seating /distributing the outer rubber lipp evenly around - and fully down into the knuckle's groove for better sealing and also prevents later rust building from moisture trapped. Also the clamp must be able to slip in the boot's groove. If installed dry the outer...

    Deuce with Unimog Tires ???

    .... Excellent choice as Deuce-shoes, IMO! (not sure for a bodded one...:-)) A have a set of 365/80R20 MPT81 still sitting in the dark attic waiting for the next project. Two other trucks already have the 14.5R20 MPT80. (and the first set of these lasted min. 40K miles on/off road! The only...

    If you mean the castle nut that goes on the tierod-end (1 5/16" socket) it is a std 7/8"-14 thread (UNF). G.

    Trans sqweeks and squeels in 5th

    The fact that in 4th (input and main shafts directly connected at same speed) it doesn't make that noise makes me think about the 14roller MS support bearing..... G.

    rear differential problem

    Why suspect the bearing if you didn't even touch it... or alter its preload? Definitely the new seal is causing this: to stiff, to much interference, wrong size or material? Installed dry with no grease between inner and outer lip? Can we assume the friction surface of the companion flange was...

    Differences in clutches, gasser and multi

    Nope! Gasser plate for 12" disk has a bolt pattern of 6 (paired @ 3.5" distance) on 13.5" while the stock MF clutch (13" disk) has 4 pair, also spaced 3.5", but on a 14.5" bolt circle. Not saying it can't be fit: friction surface of the flat gasser flywheel is 15"net so it could be redrilled to...

    Rubber/plastics people

    If that bad it did seal at times.... (!?), I would try restoring its face a bit... which isn't complicated at all with a lathe or drill press, fine sandpaper (start with 500 end 1500) and some patience. (Done that many times to restore air governor, horn solenoid, fuel shut-offs, etc.) My vote...
