    M35A2 Alternator Issues...

    Well, I've got an alternator that decided to take a crap on me. Anyone have any leads as to where to get a new one? Are these 24V 60A Alternators Rebuildable by any Alternator Shop? Thanks for your help, I've been googling the part numbers and so far nothing really. Thx,

    Wiper blades and arms ? ? ?

    Saturn Surplus has conversion kits for them as well. I bought mine from Saturn and it uses a standard 10" blade if I remember right. Installed them on my 1953 Reo M35. Seems to work pretty good for me though I haven't driven too much in the rain...

    So Cal desert trip anyone??

    Regardless of the vehicle registration status, the Deuce is a Commercial Class "B" minimum vehicle here in the lovely state of California. It's all because of the 3rd Axle to start, then the weight of the vehicle (GVW), and then the "Air over Hydraulic" brakes does classify as needing an "Air...

    Pertronix Conversion?

    Yeah, I've done a pertronix conversion before and it was very simple. I have a 1927 Ford Model-T Hotrod with a Chevy 350 motor. That one has a Pertronix Conversion and was pretty much just drop in place and plug-N-play. Really easy. Just never done it on the deuce with a 24V system before...

    Pertronix Conversion?

    Thank you for your help. What was getting me confused was the 24V option on the pertronix unit. When I check the website, they didn't show one available for the 1167 series units. I fully understand the basic 40,000V 3.0 Ohm Coil and having to modify the base of the disty to accomodate the...

    Pertronix Conversion?

    JasonS, Thank you soo much for your help. So if I got it right, all I need is a 1167 Pertronix unit and nothing else? Once I get the part, I need to modify the mounting/base plate to secure the new unit to my existing distributor. The 1167 works on 24v or do I need to rewire for 12v...

    PTO Blew up

    BTW - did you have the aluminum shear pin installed or something else? If anything downstream of the drive shaft was to bind then the shear pin would break to save the PTO. If you had the correct aluminum shear pin installed then it binded within the PTO/Transfer Case. Just thought that would...
