    Seal sizes

    Thank you all for your help, it would be easy if I was in the US but we don't have a dealer here in the UK at present. I have tried to contact dealers in mainland Europe but can get no replies to my emails, however a friend in Holland is now attempting to obtain the parts I need.

    Seal sizes

    I am aware of this but would like to try a specialist in this country if I can obtain the sizes. We also have a manufacturer who does 'one offs'.

    Seal sizes

    I need to replace the front inner axle seal and the hub seal on my M35A1 but am having difficulty sourcing these parts over here. Please can anyone help with dimensions of these seals so that I can try my local bearing and seal supplier. Any help would be much appreciated as I am getting a bit...

    Gear oil in front hub

    Gear oil has leaked into the left hand front hub, not caused by over filling or blocked breather so I assume the inner axle seal has failed. I have read as many threads as possible and checked out the tech article on rebuilding front hubs. The parts book only shows 1 hub seal and the inner axle...

    2009 vin info thread

    I'd appreciate any info on my newly purchased M35A1. All I have found is a number on the frame behind the passenger side front wheel. I believe it was brought into the UK from mainland Europe around 2000 and may have come from an Air Force base but not sure as all this history is hearsay. No on...

    M35A1 v M35A2

    Thanks Randy , yes I was well aware it was a sprag but after the excellent advice on here my mind was set at rest on any issues with this type. I knew instantly when the drive engaged , it can be felt quite easily through the steering wheel in exactly the same way as if you manually select 4...

    M35A1 v M35A2

    Well I went to see and try the truck yesterday (Tuesday), bought it on the spot and successfully drove it home earlier tonight. On close examination of the engine plate (some of the print is so small as to be almost illegible) it turns out that is a Hercules LD465 Growler. It has been converted...

    Check your tires!

    I've been kicking tyres for more than 60 years and can tell instantly if a tyre is under inflated, then it's out with the compressor and a good quality pressure gauge. Don't buy cheap gauges, I've known them to be so inaccurate as to be lethal, get a good quality gauge and check it against a...

    Manifold cracked

    The exhaust manifold is the Achilles heel of the CCKW and DUKW, in the 1950's stronger reinforced ones were made for the British Army, one of these was fitted to the CCKW I used to own and it completely overcame all the problems of distortion and cracking. Rex Ward has been trying for several...
