    Any suggestions on snapped off brass fitting on brake can?

    you should be able to TIG weld to the broken tool. I usually use a washer that matches the piece I want to weld to. I then weld a nut to the washer. The heat of welding will help to free up the broken part. With TIG welding you have excellent control of where you are welding. Just my thoughts...

    Easiest way to change transmission output shaft seal?

    If I remember correctly you will have to pull the retainer housing the seal mounts from the inside. You will need to drain the oil first. Make sure you seal the bolt threads they go thru the case and can leak oil if you don’t.

    OEM Spicer 3053 front bearing retainer with oil seal

    Steve 6X6X6 made a run of 4 input retainers with a seal. They were fully machined out of a weldment he did and were very nice. I managed to buy one and use it on my truck. He said there was not much interest in them and he has not made any more that I know of. That's sad as these were very well...

    Pickup day Albany, Georgia

    I have picked up there many times they are very accommodating. They will usually help you load and let you do work within reason there. They will pull the vehicle out front where you pull in. If its a HMMVW they usually pick those up with a fork lift probably will load it for you.

    Newbie needs some transmission repair advice, please

    Is the clutch adjusted properly? The syncros have to match speeds for gears to change if it doesn't fully release it can aggravate the transmission.

    M35A2 Rear Harness

    So what do you consider weird high cost? You can buy the rear harness for $150. Just curious how much you will have in finding the connectors.

    Water manifold leak can't find gaskets

    You should replace the hoses while you have the manifolds off.

    Mobile WMO processing / Apocalypse fuel depot

    Having the filter on the suction side will usually restrict the flow. I my opinion its better to use a type of screen to stop larger debris and put the filter on the pressure side. I would put 2 filters in series a 10 micron water separator followed by a 5 micron final.

    Seeking Advice on Replacing HH O-Rings in the Truck

    Pull the mushroom air intake cap and have someone standby with a board to block the air intake in case of a run away condition. If the shutoff lever has an issue it could take the engine to full throttle.

    fuel tank patching

    soldering, brazing or welding is the only way to properly repair a tank. All other repairs will come apart with time.
