No info regarding gaskets/shims but look here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161320-Misc-M35A2-Winch-Parts

I have a Westach EGT gauge; worked fine for years. Then it stopped showing EGT/showed them sporadically. I put in a new K-probe. Now it does show temps, but ridiculously low (400 F) on uphill grades where it should get to 1000 or slightly above. Are there different types of K-probes and how...

Sad day...Queen Lola got tucked away in her winter quarters. I miss her already. Here is a pic from earlier today: Deuce in its natural habitat "Where Is Waldo? Edition":

The fun fact about these engine cans is that they weigh in at about the same weight as the engine itself (a little less). The bottom half of the can (which is what you would use) is almost 500 lbs. The top is bigger and therefore even heavier.

Man, that is one speedy Deuce! I bet you can't even push the windshield open at that kind of speed! :-)

That engine is a heavy piece of kit. If it is complete with bell housing and flywheel, around the 1500 lbs mark. I know, because I have one sitting in my garage. I use a 2t cherry picker to lift it and move it, if I have to. It is sitting there because I overhauled an LDS and this is now a...

I have only now come across this thread! Thanks for taking the time to do the write-ups and post the gorgeous pictures. Deuce****ography at its finest! The rollover of the MB1017......I vividly remember the time one of our members on this site was killed in a rollover of an M35A3 that he had...

It looks so pleasant to work on with all the sheet metal out of the way!!

Also check pinion bearings. Rode in a truck with one bad one and the vibrations were noticeable.

Rusty, it is about half 40W and half 30W non detergent oil. Waterloo called for 40W but there was only 2 qts available. I used to run 80/90 gear oil in it. 30W sure is thin.

My rpm at 60 mph are 2400. Engine is governed to 2500, but that is already scary speed in an M35A2.

Thanks guys! Took her out for a test drive....clutch slippped a little in 5th in the beginning (that LDS has a lot of power!) when accelerating hard, but after a while it seemed to hold just fine. Maybe I give her another brake clean spray. No new leaks. I am happy.

Opened inspection cover and washed the bell housing out with 5 cans of brake cleaner. 2x4 to keep clutch depressed, engine idling to get the clutch and flywheel as best as I could. Oily mess cleaned up to clear runoff. I also cleaned my hands through the gloves and soaked half of my face, so I...

Murphy and the Rear Main Seal - Murphy messed up :-) Had replaced the rear main and modified the carrier while I had everything apart. Did "fingernail check" on crank for groove and new seal dis not sit in same spot as old one anyway. Ran fine for over 50 hours now. Today....highway run for an...

Sorry, was going to read what you wrote but stared at food instead.

No. Front seal is NSN 5330000813416, rear is NSN 5330009180595. Can be had from all major MV parts suppliers. If my list is correct, the National part # 3945 is the civy equivalent (hopefully someone can verify).

That pipeline truck makes short work of the lifting jobs. Everybody needs one of those!

M621 are cool...and have lockers...and singles from the factory... :-) By the way, you HAVE to post pictures of yours. Otherwise you will get into trouble here! :-)

Re heads, especially if you have to have the work done at a shop: If done right and/or if the heads need significant planing, the valves need to come out to have the seats re-ground to make up for the material removed from the head surface. That, and if you also have cracks in your head...

That is silly. Why do you think there is a jerry can on the driver side step??? That's right - balance!!
