    I may have a steering box available if needed. It has the steering column cut off, just a heads up.

    Leak

    It is 20 and 10, but to make it quick and easy, I use 15 thou top and bottom, and it works well.

    Spicer auxiliary box in my M820

    Sorry I'm late to the discussion, for a simple O.D. you could used a Tcase from a 939 series 5ton. Same basic mounts but the Tcase is O.D. in high range. Less custom to engineer imho.

    Pinion brake?

    Look up threads by "spicergear". He used a hydromax from a medium duty truck in his deuce. Said it worked pretty good.

    M818 Transmission breather leaking air

    So those valves on the trans move the piston on the T-case to turn on forward or reverse Sprague. The valves can be taken apart and cleaned/rebuilt.

    Run some Cascade dishwashing detergent through the block. Fill it up with tap water and cascade, drive for a bit and drain. You'll be surprised at what comes out.

    M116A3 Landing Gear Crank Fabrication & 12 volt LED Conversion

    I have Replaced mine with the LED face. They don't line up right with the metal buckets, but do one the plastic ones. My experience anyway. I also like the fact that they are dual voltage, no need to convert 24/12v - they work on both!

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    What was modified on the axles?

    Pinion brake?

    Everything thats been mentioned, and the fact that the rotor spins 8xs faster than the axle. Lots of heat to build up there.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    The intake air is cooled. There is coolant passages in the intake. It has been tested by Bjorn(cranetruck) here on SS. There are lots of different parts available for the motors. If memory serves, 5 different injection pumps, 2 different injectors, multiple pistons, etc. The biggest difference...

    Hercules LDT-465 - significant amount of diesel in oil even after FDC bypass

    Not really. The fuel booster has a shaft thats about 2.5-3 inches. It will hit the steering box when trying to remove. Your best bet is to pull the IP and then remove the booster. It sucks, I know. I will see if I can dig up some pics I took a while back.

    M246 in the busted hydraulic hose club

    I have had my M62 for a while now. Its been years since I blew a hose and had to have an adapter made up, but what we did was take the thread from the original hose and braised it onto a standard hose end for the adapter. If you wanted to get rid of the goofy threads, you could un-bolt all the...

    torque rod bushings

    I had my rod ends go bad while off-road at Haspin one year, it was a PITA to get them lined up and back on. When I pressed out and pressed in the new ones, I drilled and tapped the ends so I could bolt on a quarter-inch plate. leave some space so it can flax around, I learned that by snapping a...

    Leak

    Check your axle vents. You will build pressure and push fluids out every time you drive if the vents aren't working. I go off-road a lot, so I replaced my vents with hose barbs and tied them all together with tubing ending in the cab. That way I know when water might get into the system.
