That's correct. Though you can use the larger wheel cylinders on the front of a M35A2 deuce.

Did you notice at 4:38 the guy is applying grease to the studs. Even back then they new the advantage of lubricating the wheel studs. Of course today I would use "anti-seize" instead of grease.

No, it's about 8.5" tall and 21" long. The newer slider window is 11" wide by 29" long. Also the cab supports are closer together so you cannot cut out the window hole larger without cutting off the cab supports. I bought a NOS sliding window but now cannot mount it due to those supports. So I...

Parts might be a big problem. That engine wasn't in production that long. It would be interesting to see it in a CUCV though !

Does anyone know where I can find the rear window and molding for my 1954 M35A1 Studebaker REO ? I've looked everywhere (well not literally everywhere but close !) and can not find them ! I might just end up going with "plexi-glass" for the window, but that still leaves the molding. I've bought...

I bought three of them last night.

Yes the filter is expensive but it is washable ! So it will last years ! I went with the M35A3 air filter a few years ago and love it ! There is so much space now on the right side of the engine block ! Makes it much easier to reach things. I forgot to add that cleaning or replacing the filter...

I totally understand ! Out here in the "Pacific Northwest" we are used to rain but the old injuries and busted up joints don't care for it much ! I'm working on a few projects, but there all inside the cab or better yet inside the shop ! I just installed my "winter" heater in the deuce today. It...

Good theory. Makes sense too.

I could not read to save my life. I could do math like a fish in water though ! One of my teachers realized I wasn't stupid since I could do really complicated math problems. She noticed that when it was a reading math problem I always failed. The doctors said I had a "mental block" and couldn't...

I agree. I had something similar happen to our dozers winch. So we attached the cable to a huge boulder and chained the front blade to a large tree with chains and straps and starting winching. At first it started to pull and lug the engine down. Then I gave it more fuel and released the clutch...

I'm dyslexic too ! Thankfully my mother went to bat for me and got me enrolled in a study at the UW university in the early 1960's. They where able to "rewire" my brain synapses and at the end of the study I was able to read and write ! To bad this information seems to be lost now. My wife was a...

There is no "cheap" way to isolate any leaking wheel cylinder or broken line. By the time you realize the brake line is broken all the fluid would be gone. That is why the "hydraulic Fuse" would not work. The only thing you can realistically do, is keep spare brake fluid on hand and extra rubber...

He wants to open up the injection pump to see inside. Not bypassing the FDC.

You can easily take the FDC off. In fact you don't even have to remove the fuel lines if your careful and have enough slack in the lines.

I finally got out and took some pictures of the trailer connectors and junction box. The junction box has just a simple 6 connector strip and a ground stud inside. I soldered the wire connectors on and put heat shrink on them. Then screwed them down to the connector strip. Connecting all right...

I still need to get my power steering project finished before I can go. I cannot handle the manual steering on that long of a trip. I have parts being machined right now. Soon I will have my gear box back and then the fun begins !

I'm with you on the linkage idea Floridianson. I think it would be a good idea to take the FDC off and look inside at the governor assembly. Either a broken linkage or binding problem. One of the pumps I rebuilt had a broken fulcrum lever. Something like that could cause this problem.

Yes the compressors can be rebuilt. No, there is no kit that I know of. If your really industrious you can piece together a rebuild kit yourself, but it would be a lot of work finding all the correct parts. Also if the bore was worn out you still would need a new compressor as oversize pistons...
