So to update, finally ran out of excuses, got the new valve control installed. The truck then went hard right instead of left, managed to adjust the valve, you have to turn the valve from the end that has the cover plate on it. The valve is too wide to use a screwdriver and has limited...

msgjd, So I went to eBay and sure enough nos valve assembly for $95 plus $15 for shipping. of course always looking for a better deal, call Memphis Equipment, they have one too, but used not rebuilt and they only wanted $500 usAmerican dollars, so have the eBay one the way, Hope to...

Thanks Guys, Hoping what Memphis Equipment suggested does the trick, Think I’ll have a chance to play with it tomorrow. My steering was working ok just leaving a visible trail behind the truck , you could track the old girl from the oil she was leaving . Anyway since my control valve...

Talked with them this morning, got some ideas to try,

The wheels turn HARD Left as soon as I crank the engine Had a bad hydraulic leak in my gear box, ended up buying a rebuilt one from Memphis Equipment, The install went fair enough, the new unit did not come with the hydraulic control that mounts on the gear box, so transferred the old one...

Just wanted to update the thread, Was able to do the clutch job yesterday, Removing the drive shafts shifter, clutch linkage, pto shaft, all went smooth. Getting the bolts out of the transmission, easy enough. Spent some time rigging ratchet straps ( used several) to support the transmission...

Thanks for the tip, clutch already showed up, out of excuses going to start on it today

Thanks for the input, got a clutch assembly coming from Memphis Equipment, simp , I am on a farm outside Bell Buckle, close to Murfreesboro

simp, I think you were the guy that posted the parts list I found last night , didn’t see any m51 multi fuel parts, do you know a parts number for the clutch assembly?

I was afraid you guys were going to say that, Guess I’ll be spending the next few days under the truck. Thanks for the advice, just wanted to be sure before I started dropping the transmission.

When I look thru the inspection hole what am I looking for? Not seeing much except the edge of the clutch and pressure plate l think. Also I have noticed the clutch is easier to press, and when depressed I can hear a little bearing noise, guessing some pressure is being applied to the...

I had pulled the inspection plate , looked in it but couldn’t tell much. Up till now the clutch had been flawless, smooth when engaging, does not slip. My understanding is the linkage presses against the throwout bearing, separating the clutch from the flywheel overcoming the springs in the...

M51 Clutch issues, I can’t get the clutch to disengage when depressing the clutch pedal. First noticed a change in the friction point the other day, the pedal was much closer to the floor (full travel) before the clutch would disengage. I attempted to adjust the linkage and thought it was some...

Yes I did, the spring got tweaked just a little but that was enough to keep it from staying in the grove. I finally gave up on that spring since I had one from the old sprag that was not miss formed. That did the trick for me. Hope it helps

Oh nooooooo. It’s going to be awhile before I am willing to take that thing back apart. not sure if I got it corrected before I put it back together. Will sure try the test by jacking the front.

Well to update, another 12hr day on this project, got to say I think I have an understanding of a sprag now. took a couple of steps back today before working it out, I managed to install the main gear upside down , figured that out after not being able to draw the housing up all the way, or so...

Oh have not checked to see if the shift fork is moving freely, I’ll check that too tomorrow thanks

No, I did not remove it . On the tm it showed installing it last. the tap that protrudes into the case is out of the housing is out but housing is in place. , I’ll take the speedometer housing off in the morning and give that a try. lf that doesn’t work my next idea is to take the whole noise...

We’ll heat did the trick, sounded like a cannon going off . And the new sprag assembly pressed right on. Now back to some above average suffering trying to get the unit back on the transfer case. same as before ,the front companion flange was binding as I was removing the noise piece. It is...

From what I understand you have 2 fluids in the system the hydraulic oil is 30w , I went to Napa and got A32 hydraulic oil, I think the only difference is it has anti foaming agent. Been working good for me so far. That goes into the power steering reservoir. on the steering gear box there is a...
