It would be the Hydra-matic one. Hydramatic is a hydramatic but look for the year early 50's the two band one would probably be the closest to the 301's used in the m211. But I have never talked to these guys for the link you posted, but matching the sizes of clutch plates the number of teeth...
Well thanks, The part I'm looking for (if anyone has the TM 9-8025-2) on page 173 "Item B" a thrust washer that has a number stamped on it. Example it will be a single digit 1-5,- 1, 2, 3, 4, or a 5. I think I need a 3. But I have to look again. This washer if too thin the two tours halves will...
Well, I have been away for sometime now. I was in the process of making a video on the assembly of the m211 and 135 transmission, but I ran into a SNFU. The thrust bearing between the input and output shaft I don't have. I have 3 different sizes but the proper size I don't have. But in the time...
Sorry for the delays, but ran into several SNAFU's along the way,
1st, was furloughed from the railroad and had to find a second job which I had to work 6 days out of the week
2nd got half way through the video, then if you look on page 156 in TM 9-8025-2, I ran into the problem of end play...
Sorry guys I did not give a reference in which I should have, your right it's not going to give a true measurement in the {Disassembly and Assembly} section of the manual. As with MOST (and I use the word lightly) of the maintenance manuals all the true measurements are in the {Description and...
contact your local VFW's to see if they want it for a yard display, The VFW's in Wyoming always welcome donations like this. It beats scrapping them. Also while we are on this subject. if you have a parking problem for you vehicles, also contact your local VFW to see if they will let you keep...
No doubt you already have the information by now, but for those who don't the flat part on top of the floats floats should be 5/32" from the top of the bowl when the valve is closed.

sorry for taking so long to get back you but here's the easiest way to narrow this down. the first thing is to make sure your linkage is dead on. if its off more than an 1/8" of an inch, then you can run into all sorts of problems. The old saying goes close enough for goverment work does...
You have point Frank, it's possissable to have the reverse gear to break beacuse of the sprag clutch locking up if you are in reverse, as I never gave it that much thought until now. I wish I would of took a picture of the broken reverse gear that I took out of my transmission. If everyone could...
If you haven't taken your transmission to the scrap yard yet, then tear into it and see what's wrong, there are still a lot of serviceable and hard to get parts for the transmission. it will be wise to hang on to the transmission just for the extra parts. once its gone its gone forever! I...
You know I have tried everything that you can possibly do to wheel cylinders, once they start leaking the only permeant fix is to buy new ones, NOT NOS. So i bit the big one and ordered 12 of them from Memphis Equipment. Best thing I have ever done, now I can lock up all the wheels when empty...
This is excellent advise so just in case you don't have any maintenance manuals yet here are the specs for the fuel pump check
according to TM9-8024 the fuel pump should operate at 20 gal per hour at 2.5 to 3 psi, so 20 gallons per hour converts to 42.6 ounces per minute or ruffly 3.5 beer cans...
RE: heheheh
Just got back from vacation and hopefully I'm not too late to give my two sense worth.
Bobbing a M211 would be equivalent to bobbing a Ford Pinto, Looks might be there buts thats it. 1st lets look to see what the M211 does not have to be a cool bobbed truck.
1) the power plant...
Sorry for the delay of the videos, but here are the set backs
1st When I was putting the transmission back together, I did not keep the same thrust washers as what came out of the transmission. (remember 2 transmission were dissembled and stored in boxes over a 9 year period) so I had to order...
Well pa.rich I read in one of these threads that a truck scrapped would bring around $700 - $800 if worst come to worst. I don't know your mechanical back ground or what capabilities you have as far a access to spare parts, or shop to rebuild one. But the transmission alone if it has low milage...
Actually, I get the same information when I read all these responses to these threads. But for 8 years with the fire department and for all the maintenance we did on various types vehicles from the multi fuels to the gas Reo's, the M211 needed no maintenance. Just routine oil changes, all other...
I added a BRIEF power point presentation on the disassembly of the transmission. This only covers the removal of the components and an BRIEF explanation. This is only to show you where all the components are in relation to one another. The rear reduction case, oil pan and valve cover are...
Ok guys one more bit of information then everyone should be getting the idea of how this thing works.
When I explained going from 2nd to 3rd I explained it in the way the transmission distributes its power but in reality it's a little different then the way I explained it. I needed you to get...
