Hey all
I'm looking for a bell housing for my '68 M35A2. It's got the original Spicer 5 spd in it. My old bell housings cracked and of course with it being cast iron it's next to impossible to weld. I'm not wanting a whole transmission unit, but it is what it is if that's all I can find.
Yeah, it's good on spark. Everything's cleaned and or replaced from parts from armyjeepparts.com. The pump and fuel system are cleaned and new as well. The old tank got too rusted. I'm thinking it's got to be the starter since no matter how much starter fluid I use it won't fire up.
What's up everyone
I purchased a 151a2 from Eastern Surplus about 3 years ago (first mistake). The vehicle had a bunch of issues that I've managed to chase down and fix over the past couple of years. The biggest one now is that it won't start anymore. It has a brand new fuel system (tank...
Howdy all
I just recently purchased a 151 mutt. It took a lot of ether to get it started, but I figured it was because of the cold. It was 40 degrees when I first cranked it up. It really struggled. Finally got it started and was able to drive it around my yard for about 3 minutes, but I...
Hi all hope you're well
For a long time I've been wanting to purchase a British military vehicle. Problem is, they are hard to find in the states. A buddy of mine suggested that I file ATF Form 6 and talk with a company in the UK about importing one. Does anyone have any experience or tips on this?
As of right now, the drum is locked up good. The notch that prevents the level from moving is disengaged but the lever will still not move. The drum will also not move by hand. The input shaft into the winch is also frozen, hence why I'm kinda stumped. I was in an accident in 2017 where a...
I have a 1968 M35A2 with the PTO winch, but the selector lever on the back side of the winch wont budge. A friend of mine mentioned that the winch clutch might be broken, hence why the lever wont move, and why the cable wont budge either. Anyone have any advice/suggestions?
So I'm not sure really what is going on with my trans, but it seems like my clutch is slipping. I know that's impossible as I just replaced it. It seemed to go away when I put a new fuel injection pump on it, but when I turned the throttle up for more power, the slipping came back. Usually...
Unfortunately the clutch on the winch wont engage. The handle wont budge. I had to resort to unbolting the entire drum off the front of the truck. Trying to figure out how to get inside the thing. I took the plate cover off the front of the driveshaft side if the drum, and the flywheel turns...
Shear pin is intact. The drum lock is disengaged when I try to operate the thing. My biggest issue is that the lever is in the our position, but I cant pull line out or anything.
I was in a wreck last November and my winch was operating prior to wreck. Guy pulled out on red light and I hit him only going 29MPH. Now I cant pull my cable out of the drum and the lever is also stuck. Line wont go in or out. PTO shaft is spinning so its not a PTO/PTO driveshaft issue. Not...
I think I can just tap the screw ans insert a "spinal" screw to recommect back into the other side. They make taps small enough. I just gotta be careful.
I have an M35A2 that just had a new injection pump installed. I had no problems, but noticed it was having less power output than before. I was attempting to turn the throttle up, but the adjustment screw broke off, and of course, now it wont start. Anyone know how to proceed?
I recently had to replace my transfer case in my 1968 M35A2. The replacement transfer case came with a new bracket assembly. Unfortunately, it seems that the bracket assemblies are different. Are these differences normal? If so, where can I find a replacement mount that is the same as the...
