    Brake Fluid Flowing out Vent Tube

    I posted this elsewhere but didn't want hijack anyone's thread:-D I rebuilt the air pack, master cylinder, and all wheel cylinders on my M35A2. I also added a fluid reservoir under the hood. I am changing to DOT 3 since DOT 5 is not available here. I put everything back together and filled...

    Ouverson Lockout Hubs Problem

    The inside was just dirty and packed with grease, nothing was damaged in any way. I did not put as much grease in it this time! At some point I will clean the other hub and remove excess grease. I have driven the truck through some really nasty stuff and the hubs have worked very well. The...

    Ouverson Lockout Hubs Problem

    Disassembly of Hub I removed the Ouverson lockout hub from my truck this morning. I undid the 8 bolts and pulled it off the axle spline. When I did I saw that the inside nut was laying loose inside the hub. When I called Ouverson Engineering and spoke with Randy he said that he thought this...

    Deuce lockout hubs

    Ouverson Lockout Hubs Problem

    I was down in a sand pit this morning getting a load of sand and I went to lock my front hubs to put it in 6WD. When I turned the hubs the right hub did not stop at the "Lock" position. I could feel the correct position though and engaged the front axle and drove out of the pit. I remember...

    Making a 2,000 mile trip in a M35A2?

    I drove my 1966 M35A2 Deuce through Mexico into Belize about 2 months ago. I purchased the truck in the spring from a guy who had purchased it from the military as surplus and had signed an EUC. I just told him I was a US citizen living in the US. I registered the truck as a Kaiser Jeep truck...

    M35 Broke Down in the Jungle

    Thanks for the advice. The rubber was still in the rod but was totally off the stud. I used a jack to relieve tension on the spring and then winched the axle back and rotated it to line up with the stud. I put the torque rod back on the stud and held it with a clamp to move the truck. Since I...
