Ok, I am having the same issue.
Truck: 1987 AMG USAF M35A2C. Not a gasser rebuilt as a multi, etc.
Winch: Came off my '67 M35A2. I believe the driveshaft is the correct tapered multifuel driveshaft (the driveshaft is tapered to clear the bellhousing, not the steering box, correct?). Winch...
So we all know that the brake and clutch pedals are adjustable in our M44 series trucks (right? :-P).
My '87 A2C had really high pedals, I am only 5'10" and I could barely drive it on the way home.
I went to adjust them yesterday, assuming they had been adjusted out all the way (as high as...
Re: doghead
This is cleaner and easier. This is what I use. Have had it for 10+ years, works on everything from Deuces to mopars.
Snap-On part # A78, $158
Yupp.
You Maryland guys need to organize, pick a leader who has good people and mgmt. skills and build a coalition of like minded groups (ATHS, MVPA {rofl}, etc.) and either defeat it or get it changed/amended.
We occasionally sell deuces but it is getting pretty difficult to find solid, privately owned deuces in that price range. There are some deuces on craigslist and one in particular that's cheap, if you have a way to transport it (I think it has no brakes).
Here's an example of one of ours...
Looks like the code says it won't fly. If they say it will, better get it in writing and talk to an attorney. Make sure your (reputable) attorney says that their written guarantee holds legal water.
Also, better have a legal fund, because at some point, if you find a way to squeak or sneak...
Good advice (for open seals).
I always have to look twice at closed seals, like the deuce front axle inner (example: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/8460-front-axle-seals-boots-stepxstep-6.html#post952505).
While it's disassembled:
Machine flywheel
Replace rear main seal and inspect crank for groove (use speedi sleeve if necessary)
Replace pilot bushing (it's a bushing, not a bearing)
Replace disc and pressure plate
Replace throwout bearing
Take the opportunity to clean the bellhousing and...
Not now, obviously.
Just thinking that in a pit like that, all sorts of stones/rocks/debris could have gotten into the bellhousing and broke a pressure plate finger.
Curious what comes out.
I don't know how to describe it, but the lip of the seal face the direction of the liquid you are trying to keep from escaping. Perhaps someone here can describe it better than I can. I know how to install a seal looking at it, but not a clear way to describe it.
I hunted yesterday for an hour for that thread. I remember it specifically because one of the replies was something to the effect of "Tell your fireman to stop being lazy"
I have no idea what happened to it.
Awesome Possum and all the others who share his sentiment are correct.
The idea that the engineers would have invested the time to design a brace that would drive up the cost of each truck by a tiny amount, multiplied over thousands of trucks in a contract, thus pushing the cost of the contract...
This has been beat to death, but since you are a new guy, we will make sure the boiling oil we dip you in is synthetic so it won't hurt as much.
But, you other members, when a new guy shows up and asks a question that has been asked 18 million times before, instead of allowing the...
Are you referring to this?
