    M35A2 starting issues

    I'll also add that I had a very similar symptom on my truck which turned out that the starter solenoid was on its way out and eventually welded itself open which eventually melted out a battery. So I don't think there's a shortcut for checking each piece independently, which really isn't that...

    Injection pump reference

    If they do give you a (digital) copy of that manual (or others) would be great if you posted back here as well.

    Finally got me a deuce!

    That's right only on the top left steering knuckle, bottom on both sides and top on right side are all bolts that thread into the knuckle from the outside (see the inset picture for the right side axle)

    Finally got me a deuce!

    Yeah I would agree not to install underneath of the steering arm. These are studs coming from the knuckle, not bolts and there is a spacer ( 8 ) that needs to get greased from the zerks on top. The steering arm is designed to sit directly in to of the knuckle.

    Steering U-Joint (ujoint)

    Just to close this loop I received my u-joint and it appears to be New Old stock with Rockwell branding on the box and stamped into the actual u-joint. It was actually missing two of the sea clips and there was some mild surface rest on the outside of the Caps which went away with a wire wheel...

    Need Help, Brand new to the Deuce!

    So fuel all the way to the injection pump but nothing leaving the injection pump to the injectors when cranking is that right? That at least narrows you down to the IP with your troubleshooting. Admittedly not up on IP troubleshooting but I have to imagine there's a pretty good process for...

    Mulemac01 M275 2 1/2 ton Gas truck tractor ON-GOING restoration and rebuild tread.

    Yeah I'd say start with rocker covers off and see what your dealing with them go from there. If you're feeling ambitious you could pull more but start there and see what you can get moving freely that way... Just start : )

    Having trouble seating your rear drive axle shaft? This hint I found helped me...

    Just did all of mine and used the same, though I just kind of knew intuitively that the axle tube was bigger than the opening into the diff and tried the push down method. Glad it worked, good to have it on here for reference 👍

    Deuce Outer Windshield Frame

    Dennis, I think 3rdmdqm has first dibs since this is his thread but mine turned out to be worse off than I had thought, any idea on shipping cost to MD 21617 if he passes?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yeah good call 👍 I always drive by the VFW but have never stopped in to interact with them now that I have a huge pile of NDTs I might see if any of them fit the artillery piece they have in front of the building

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Continue to work on getting it back together, usually too greasy to take pics Pulled all 6 "corners" down to the spindles to reassemble with new seals, re-packed bearings (all were fine). All but one of the rear corners had blown the seals so bad that they drums, pads, and everything were...

    Thinking about it, the rivets may be what held the backing plate in place
