Thanks! Very helpful info. I see what happened now. 1 lugnut did come off for me, the rest just spun the whole bolt. The pork chop wrench should fix me right up! Thanks again
I have a m35a2 with the original duallies on it. I went to go for a drive, so as always i checked my brake fluid. This time is was empty... So i crawled under and found a puddle of brake fluid under driver side middle tires. I ordered a wheel cylinder and figured id get the truck ready for when...
Good copy on where to post buy/sell. I was meaning in my original post to use the same adapter inside the current rim, but to steal the bolts and nuts from extra tired if buy to go through the 10 existing holes into the adapter plate, not to remove the current inner section and start over with...
Yeah hind sight is 20/20 I didn't mean trolling that way haha. Just meant that I've drudged through lotsa page posts and sites. I did find some on eBay at a better price, thanks for tip.
If I end up with all these tires is there anyone interested? If they do a silent auction I'll have to buy...
The depot I work at has a pile (36 tires!!) of brand new 335/80r20. All but a few are on military rims, it's a 10 bolt pattern. The QRP manager says they will prob go in the next sell off. Can these be put on m35a2 stock rims IF tubes are used to avoid the sealing issues? If not would the 20...
Just to share here, I had a problem with my horn on the deuce... It started honking on its own on the way back from the sawmill one day. I was sitting in London ky at a stop light and it honked, stopped, long honked, went silent. I looked around and made eye contact the barista yuppy in the...
Your right. Reading that post clears it up, thanks for that. I planned on reading it but i didnt have much chance on the job. Good, descriptive info. Im going to try to adjust it properly before i go to removing the drive shaft. If my forward sprag is engaging that strongly is there a chance...
It hit me like a bag of bricks, the best thing to do is to just remove the front drive shaft and throw it in the bed for now. I started thinking that if the reverse rod assy isn't there it might be free to engage either sprag as the wind blows, I will try to adjust it to center as best as I...
-M35A2 with sprag t-case
So I learned the hard way that rolling in the opposite direction of the gear your in will pop the sprag and possibly break it as I popped it after I bought my truck. I never drove the sprag style in the national guard, only the air shift and was ignorant of the...
allright, ive answered my own question by doing the research on the forums. Sorry for being the guy who joins and starts asking redundant questions. It appears welldigger has orings and seals to sell. Ill give him a pm and see if he's still in stock.
Ah, never thought of that, but it makes good sense. Ive searched high and low for the fuel shutoff seal without luck. Anybody have one for sale or know where to buy one?
got home today and the water in my house didn't work, had a busted line outside in the well access. draining it and fixing the fitting was 5 hours of fun and stopped me from doing anything with my deuce.
well, when the screws on the fuel shutoff plate were loose enough to turn easily with my...
The thing i keep coming to is a notice in tm 9-2910-226-34 that says if a newer model hydraulic head is installed on an older model pump there are chanels that need to be plugged because the newer HH doesnt flow oil to the lower portion of the drive gear. Either it has nothing to do with...
Ill check the hoses out in the morning and see if they are a contributor in this problem, as im stuck at work tonight. I will also try to post some pics. Does it sound like a good idea to run it with the cover off to maybe see if i can learn the direction of flow or anything? I really dont...
Hi everyone, I have just brought home my very own M35A2 and I developed a strange issue on the drive home.
I drove about 100 miles. no leakage anywhere
drove another hundred miles had almost 4 quarts of oil blown out under the truck
I located the origin and it was coming from the cover to the...
