Pics of my gasser 3052 direct drive 5th. The 3053 OD tranny is identical, except 3052 4th gear now becomes 3053 5th gear: the 4th gear underdrive set is replaced with an overdrive set and the shifter pattern changes (4 & 5 flipped). Old 3052 5th gear (direct drive) is now 4th gear @ 1:1 for...

Travis, good talking to you. Looks like you've helped to prove that this is NOT the myth that so many seem to think it is. As to a repair... I found an old link to a site "Waterloo Specialties" that was machining and refurbing mainshafts for an 0.69 OD gear ratio. Pretty cool, but pricey...

Nothing right now, just getting it in shape. It has been sitting quite a while because 2/3 gear was missing when I bought it. The woodruff keys were sheared. I've got the mainshaft out and another coming soon. (see my post) Been doing a complete brake refurb in the meantime, just finished...

I have been toying with a similar idea for my M36 - how about a standard 12' M35 bed on the back and a 5' box between it and the cab, almost like a sleeper? Could be a tool shed, compressor shed, etc. I have found enough web suppliers for enclosed trailer parts (corners, extrusions etc) that I...

Data plate is missing - found a seal at OD Iron, specifically called out to OA331, not cheap though $38:cry:! Guess I shouldn't complain beit lucky to find something this odd.

:-DYes, lotsa good stuff & TMs in the ref section, was hopin' someone could point me to the best one... I get a little confused when I look at those pages and pages of manuals. I know there's a system and all those numbers mean sumpthin?... gassers seem to be harder to find good info on as...

Hi guys, Working on my tranny and probably into a clutch replacement. Looking at the mess in the bell housing.. probably a main seal too.:-( Anyway, the M36 is a gasser with an OA331, can anyone point me to the right TM for this procedure? Is the gasser main seal the same as the multifuel...

:-PVery timely as I am about to start this same rebuild - thanks for the excellent graphics. I have downloaded the TM and studied it quite a bit before starting but this info will be quite helpful. - Bob

Good job, Travis, it looks like a cold wet job where you're at... glad it finally seated for you,... been there. Thanks for the tips too, guys. The bar across the cab with a winch was the way I was thinking about doing it as well - any problems or damage to the backwall or firewall from...

I've got an M36 just screamin' for one of these...gimmee, gimmee, gimmee....:razz:

Some pics...

Well. somebody owes me a case of beer... she's out and stripped, both keys sheared and the shaft and the hub are toast... Took some pics, will post as soon as a get cleaned up... very messy job, my wife says she's never seen me THIS grimy. I told her wait till I do the leaking gasket on the...

Thanks guys. I'll try to pull the parts tomorrow. Pushed clutch in, turned input shaft, main shaft locked by output, all gears turn, so 2nd gear's not frozen to the main shaft - had me scared there. Could see any cracking or splitting on the synchro sleeve. Is that common? Can't really...

Hey guys, Great forum. I've been in and out for a couple years now. Too many projects. Need some advice please. I have an early deuce, M36, with an OA331 and a 3052 (direct drive 5th gear). It a great truck, I like the long bed. Having tranny issues, all is well except no 2nd/3rd on the...

Oh, also, do I have to drop the tranny to get to the gears on the 3052 or can it be done in the truck... seems to me I read that they can be accessed fron the rear? I have manuals already and looked at doing this a while ago, but got distracted on other projects. Now I'd like to transport the...

Hey guys, Sorry to resurrect an old post, but I am a bit new to this. I have an M36 with missing 2/3 similar to this problem in this post and suspect keys (pulled the cover and the gear seems to turn freely on shaft). Mine is an old '53 with the older tranny with 1:1 5th grear (Ithink thats...

Okay, please help, . Serial Number (VIN number) M36 - 142046 b. Registration Number - No idea c. NSN without dashes - No idea d. Where you bought it - Farmington, NM (i think I'm about the 4th owner?) e. Bumper numbers if you can legibly read them - NA This is a true M36 longbed, the engine...

Dude, Sorry about the delay on the plate. Moving my fiance and getting the house ready for rental... Will try to get you something soon, sorry - Bob

This is what I was thinking about doing with my M36. Since it has 17' behind the stock cab, I figure swap on a stock M35 bed and have plenty of fram for the crew cab, yes?

I've not seen one. Even mvdataplates.com doesnt have it. I could probably pull mine off, clean it up and scan it in so you could have one made... wouldn't get to it until the week at the earliest. Let me know it you wan to go that route - Bob
