Thanks for your reply. I’ll be going that route on doing head o-rings and booster pump. The truck runs great. Probably not worth going deeper than that.
As the title of the thread states does anyone rebuild these pumps? Whether as a business or on the side. I know there are pumps out there for sale. But I would like to have my pump gone through on my M35A2 and I don’t have the time to do so. The truck runs great, but the IP leaks and the booster...
I picked up some 395s from Wehring the other weekend. Thanks for the help guys! Now to find some wheels, CC Equipment is currently out of their two piece wheels.
Thanks for the replies fellas.
I appreciate you taking a look for me Clinto! Let me know what you can find.
I did try to remove the broken piece, i suppose its worth another good try. And i feel better now about re-using the fuel line. Thanks!
About the steering box.. The engine definitely...
A few weeks back i had to lift the motor and trans in my deuce to replace the steering box. Unfortunately, negligence can leave behind some damage. When removing the upper hose on the air compressor the tip of the fitting broken off in the female end of the hose. I have a photo attached of the...
Thanks for the replys guys!
Sorry. I edited my location. I am in richmond near the houston area. But i can travel. Do you know if you could get any info on the guy in Avery?
F'N!WreckerRay, i'd have to check and see what the freight would be. But i know it wont be cheap, it may be a good...
As I finish rebuilding my deuce I have been looking for some new rolling stock for it. After looking the variety of tires, I am convinced that I want the 395/85/20s for my 6x6. And the Michelin XZL is the tire that would best suit me.
But I have realized that the the XZLs arent very common in...
One quick revision. When the high beams are on the driver's bulb is completely dead. I thought the filament was glowing but it is completely dead while the passenger side is at full brightness.
On the low beams both lights arent too bright but the passenger light is barely lit.
I also cleaned...
I bought my Deuce back in November of 2010 and I have yet to figure out why my headlights dont work properly. The headlights are dim with the low beams on. The passenger side is the most dim. With the high beams on the passenger side is as bright as can be and the drivers light is practically...
Now thats an idea! lol
That's a very good point. The flywheel I bought from Memphis equipment came with a nice surface grind on it. The man in charge of their shop reaffirmed me that the new flywheel is ready for installation and that he installs them in his shop as is when new.
Yes, and pretty sparingly. I know of that exact hole, I shouldnt have an issue with it.
No videos of it on youtube yet.:razz:
I bought a completely new unit. It could have been resurfaced but i didnt want to trust someones workmanship, especially after how much heat it must have taken.
Just wanted to update this thread.. Everything is back together and the truck drives great.
So just to put the information out there for others that may encounter such a mysterious problem as i did.
THAT if you have the same symptoms as I had it could be due to loose and missing pressure plate...
Thanks guys. I'll be ordering a rear trans seal.
Yesterday I pulled off the Pressure Plate and Clutch.
Turns out the clutch must have been scorching hot at some point in time. The friction pads are glazed over, the flywheel and pressure plate both have heat marks as well. Even the input shaft...
Now that I have the preliminary information up there. My first observation when I first separated the trans is that one of the bolts that bolts the pressure plat to the bellhousing was rolling around the bottom near the inspection plate! Two more of the bolts were pretty loose too (i could spin...
Yesterday I dropped the transmission in my 1980 M35a2. I figured I would start a thread to help answer a few of my questions about changing out my clutch and pressure plate along with the PTO seals, transmission seals, and rear main seal. Hopefully this thread will help others who find...
I talked with a guy at Clark Equipment and he said they are two different animals. But he could be mistaken I suppose
However the pressure plate I got from CC Equipment is a 3 prong plate. I'm not sure when this updated 3 prong style of plate came into circulation. But I used to be under the...
