    Selectro Hubs

    Spicer, the original Selectros were too short to fit over the long axle shafts on our M35s, so they got together with Art Bloom and had a company make a spacer as wide as the hub and about 1.25" thick, got bolts made with the correct length shank and sold the kit. If you don't have the spacers...

    A3 Air/Steering Issue

    Maradyne Corp is in Cleveland Ohio. They are the maker of Air-O-Matic air assist steering and are still in business. I haven't had a problem with the drag link valve on any of my deuces but I expect a person could take it apart and reseal it if it were leaking. I have found the manufacturer of...

    Selectro Hubs

    Has any one actually received their new selectro hubs yet? Do they come with the heavy spacer to make them fit on the axle shaft?

    Headlight switch for m915a1

    Deuceman 51, If you get around to making one of those MWO kits up to save the headlight switch on the 915A1, please put me on the list for one of them. It is the only thing wrong with my new to me M915A1. It sure pulled a van trailer out of Fort Drum faster than my freightliner could have. JT out

    M818 Brakes locking up

    Cranetruck means the front gladhand cover on the right front corner. It has a breather or the newest ones just have a pee hole to vent the system. It has cost some of us a lot of money replacing parts to find the breather was plugged up. I learned the hard way. Now I have an extra MC, airpac...

    2011 MTA Swapmeet Dates

    IMHO, this is the BEST show going. Not as many vendors as Aberdeen, in the past, but more than any other Eastern US show, and growing fast every year. Also much better organization than any show I have ever attended. They totally have it down to a science and it is a fun place to be. For both...

    Red seal engine

    I had a Highway Digger model HCBMS with a 244 Continental Red Seal flat head 6 cylinder. The continental 331 in M35s was called an OAC-331, the C stood for Continental under contract to the Gov't to build the Reo Gold Comet.

    Eliminating air srag on 5 ton!!!!

    It would require what has been known as a "REB" kit, replaces the whole sprag with 2 new gears set up to run same ratio as the rear output. And an engagement handle kit to choose lock or free for the front axle. Memphis did it years ago with the deuce sprags, the parts are gone, they won't build...

    To Bob or not To Bob?

    Better to own 2 or more deuces before building a 4x4 conversion, then you have the best of both worlds and something to compare eachother to. It's my humble opinion, but, don't cut your only deuce. JT out

    Transfer case PTO to run 20 GPM hydraulic pump

    I wonder if the Waterous pump would need too much Horse Power to operate at rated GPM? The Transfer PTO is rated for much more HP than the transmission mounted PTO. I am experienced with fire trucks and the pump pulls a lot of power when called upon. JT

    Low Gear on Deuce

    Floridian, you covered it. with 2 1/2 tons on a deuce, you just don't need 10 speeds. If I want to use a lot of gears I run 2,3,4 in low, then split to H 3,4,5. It gives me a split that works for the engine pretty good. In the M543A2, I run the same but start in 1 L and progress. That truck...

    900 series fan clutch on a LDT deuce?

    I have been told that the LD 465 engine fan uses 15 horse power at full throttle. I expect to have Green Toys build one for me so that I can have 12% more horsepower in my deuce. JT Out

    Making a fiberglass hood?

    Darwint, the picture you posted is my Fiberglass Hardtop. I have been making them for many years. The 3 light mount bars are re-inforcement stiffeners too, as are the 2 smaller bars in between them. When my hardtop is bolted down to the truck, you can walk on it, which is not true with factory...
