Success!!!!!!!!!!! It works, I had been only running it 15 -20 minuets at a time before, but when I let it idle for an hour, I was able to add 1 gal of oil then I could start to feel the clutches starting to grab. Let it run for another half hour then added another 2 qts, trans is working fine...
The whole tranmission including the valve body were cleaned during the rebuild, the linkage is not worn and it is turning the splined end. I will check the pressures in all gears and get back to you.
I just had the trans rebuilt after the shaft into the 3rd 4th gear planetary sheared all the teeth of the input shaft. New part including new production clutch plates throughout. The truck also has the Reb Shifter. I had drove the truck over 3000 miles before failure.
My problem is after...
Getting ready to reinstall engine and rebuilt transmission and i have a Reb Shifter on it but had help removing it and did not take any photos of the linkage hookup.
Anyone have photos of the linkage or the install manual that shows how the linkage is connected?
Thanks for the help

As for the next convoy we may have to postpone the NWP'20 convoy we are...
I know Norm (Downtown Truck Parts, he lives 10 miles from me) very well, but he doesn't have much in the way of parts for the M135 any more, I had got an original parts manual from him. The best source for parts is Brian Asbury in Canada, this is where I got the NOS top and end curtains, BTW...
So in response to my original post about the Canadian top, I have located an NOS top and front and rear curtains so I have all the measurements I need.
I will start posting more info soon.
Your Truck looked and performed well on the convoy, as for your question on the winch on your truck tractor if you like it do it! A good example is my M135 it is on the road and it runs great at 55 mph, but for the next North West Park Convoy we will be camping in the back, but the top bows on...
I was reading your posts on the length of the side staves, I am getting ready to order a new Canadian version cargo top from a Canvas supplier that has never made the Canadian M135 Canvas Cargo Top and it looks like it is 12 inches longer, is this correct?
I see from the pictures posted in the...
