It's been a long time since I had my 817 apart, it was installed as a new replacement tc and had never had the bearings set up right. I have debated before about the sprag, thinking there is one direction or the other, but no neutral. Can you see to clarify that.....like the shift cylinder has...

Don't get too hasty. Come to Rochester and we can talk trucks. I've had 809 series and have an m35A3 under construction with a 3116. Keeping the 5 ton is double the weight of a deuce and if you are willing to drop an axle, a deuce can come close to 10k#. With 395s, it's still a massive...

I don't know if all Ace Hardwares have the Valspar line of paints or if they have the same paints that are selling at sale price, but it may be worth a trip to see. Ours is liquidating some stock at 70% off. They (my local store) has light and medium base exterior flat, but no neutral for the...

What tan and sand colors do you like?

I plated my entire rear frame when I saw under it on my A3. Bad spot for any truck ran on salty winter roads.

Seem like there should be an Isuzu going to a boneyard with those wheels in a 22.5 .

Big companies are like that. They don't want dumped parts showing up on the market. They appear the same as a lot of trucks, but I don't know the details.

A supplier got rid of some inventory of brand new tie rods, with both ends to a scrap yard. The owner said he would sell me a few but they had to be destroyed.....so I cut them in half.

I like the Behr Ultra Premium Plus and Flo-trol to help slow it down and smooth out. Prefer it over Marquee.

See the second photo and the torch cut on the tube? It used to be about twice that length with the joint on each end. They started as full rods.

I have a few of the tie rod ends, I think They made me cut the rod in half to get them...some company dumped several new ones many moon back and I have had them in my old bus. There is a right and left I think too.

Isuzu budd 17.5", 19.5" and 22.5 are out there but the height OD on the 17.5 and 19.5 is only about 30-31". I've picked up a few for M105 axles but of course the 6 x 8.75 fits deuce too. Maybe the 22.5 is an alternative that would be higher on a truck (don't have any). Also, they may be a...

I scored a set (6) of the Isuzu 6 lug Budd wheels and tires, 17.5 tubeless that should go on an m105 trailer or axle. I went ahead and committed, hoping to find a use. Earlier I bought 6 of the same but 19.5" for a tandem trailer. I'll probably turn this to a "for sale" but couldn't pass up a...

M715mike....yes......just like that. Great looking truck. There is only one thing I would do different which is to have a slightly shorter distance from the rear axle to the pintle hitch (and I would put a gooseneck ball under the bed plate). I like the cargo bed cut down too and you don't...

You should be able to get a much better ride with springs and a helper air bag. Put them outside the frame to keep the width as wide as possible and use the same shocks as the front. Shackle angle matters too as well as the angle of the axle in relation to the TC. Use 16.00 tires. Heck yes..5...

I would put it in my F600 4x4 boomtruck in a heartbeat. But I like the rods too.

I don't have one on an m35 but I do on an F600. They come off in one piece and you can see how the spline engages or disengages. It's not much different than taking off the splined cap.

With larger tanks, it will take longer to air up. What happens with low air ....less brake assist....less help in steering...less pressure to fill tire or ?? Unlike the air on the 5 ton, that releases brakes at around 60, the deuce would still have some brakes while the system fills. How...

Well jeepsinker, I have to admit not having looked up the compressor specs on the Cat 3116 but It doesn't look too large. If I get to the rebuild of the front springs for a plow it would make sense to increase the steering and brakes reserve capacity, for turning and stopping a lot. That...
