Crickets on my end as well...

I realize this is an old message thread, but do you have an address on the guy in South West MO? I live close to Southwest City and I would like to see what all he might have. Thank You...

I did find the "FLAP" in TM 9-2320-209-20P (Fig 133, Item 8). When I disassembled my wheel, I broke the flap with my pry bars, so I have been searching to find a new one. I haven't yet taken the time to see if I can find it on the internet. This part may be available at a truck stop or truck...

I finally got one (of eleven) of my wheels disassembled. I now understand the duckbill bead breaker tool as well as the value of either WD-40 or soapy water. It took a bit, but once the bead was broken on both sides, it was a simple matter to remove the split ring. I had never taken apart a...

This is GENIUS! I would have NEVER figured this out on my own. Perhaps that is what someone as done with the hubs on my parts truck.

I am not sure what "flipping the hubs" means. I don't see how that would work. I did notice that the hubs on my daily driver are completely different than the hubs on my parts truck. Both data plates show these trucks as M35A2s. I have attached pictures of these hubs. Can someone explain...

After watching the video, I am sold on this torque multiplier tool. I found a system on Amazon for under $60.00. I have to wait to order it, but I am excited to try it. The product description stated that the sockets are metric. I am guessing the 38mm socket will fit the front tires and the...

OK.... I have heard of this tool, but where does a person get this thing and how does it work? I am willing to try ANYTHING.

thank you guys for the GREAT ideas. It never occurred to me to remove the entire assembly and take it to a shop. I will do that tomorrow. I will also bring a lug and thimble nut to Napa to see about a replacement tool.

I was trying to remove my inner dual today when I broke my tire tool. Apparently, the thimble nuts are either rusted in place or so over-torqued I can't break them loose. It seems I will have to get a new tool. I tried to weld the cracks, but my welds didn't hold and it broke again...

Please let me know how they work out for you. I would like to do the same to my trucks.... Thank You....

My deuce doesn’t have a heater, so I have no idea if the CAD drawing is correct. I have nothing with which to compare. If I were to install a heater though, I would draw power from the master switch to power a relay only, getting power to the blower motor from an alternate source.

I did indeed complete the wiring harness. I wrote down every step and have built an outline on what to do, how to do it, how long to makes the additional wires, etc. I didn't take any pictures, but I think it worked out pretty well. I was going to create a PDF file from my write-up and post...

BTW... If tou need some clear shrink tube, send me your snail mail address and I will send some your way.

I tried the thermal labels using my P120 label maker, but in my case, they peeled away from the wires. I thought my wires might be oily, so i wiped them with paint thinner, but it didn't make any difference.
