    Deuce winch PTO pass-through

    I may be missing the obvious again here. I have a front-facing PTO, but no winch. I'm in the market for one. I have some hydraulic accessories I'd love to run off a PTO pump, but I won't have the bed clearance to run a rear-facing PTO (transfer case). I could modify the PTO shaft to carry a...

    M35A2 Bed Clearance Over Tires

    Fellas, I hate to start a thread over something this simple, please delete this if I'm missing something stupidly obvious. I searched and I looked through the dimension drawings to no avail.

    M35A2 hydraulic assist steering

    Hi all, In doing some napkin engineering for a DIY pneumatic assist steering torque valve, I ran across this: https://www.howeperformance.com/parts/control-valves/ Coupled to the appropriate PS pump and cylinder (clamped to the tie rod similar to the M35A3), this could be a very simple hydraulic...

    Barn find, M35A3?

    Hi folks, Newbie here, first time Deuce owner. I've been hanging around the forums for a week or so trying to pick up information along the way. The machine in question has what appears to be a M109A4 technician shelter on the back, although I have found no ID tags to confirm its identity. It's...
