Is the transfer case from a M342 the same as an M35?

[dma251]

I have posted for sale ads for the engine/transmission and transfer case from an M342 Dump truck over in the classified section of Steel Soldiers.

I got a call today from an interested party about the transfer case asking if it was the same as what is in an M35 Deuce.

Anyone have an answer to that question?

M35 would have a sprag type case, and M342 would have the same, most likely. However all of them are subject to having been updated with air shift xfer cases. However, I just looked in My Ord 9 SNL G742 and found Transfer double sprag T-136-1, Transfer single sprag T-136, Transfer T-136-3 supersedes T-136-1, Transfer T-136-10 supersedes T-136-3. But I believe they are all interchangeable among all the non air shift trucks. Got to go to newer 34Ps to find air shift variants... To answer your initial question, it is just a matter of air shift or non air shift for fit and operation with the T-136-10 being the newest variation of the sprag type as of January 1955.

Further, from Bob Kettler's parts book of 1995 (RIP) Airshift xfer case is T-136-27 and latest sprag type was T-136-21.

I think Ace said "Yes", the only qualifier being whether you are talking sprag or non sprag, otherwise interchangeable.

My BIG question is, Where is the M342?

My BIG question is, Where is the M342?

seem to recall there was not much "dump truck" left, so it became a parts donor . . .

Yup - it's a big pile of parts now.

The axles are all sold, the engine, transmission, pto, transfercase, and hardtop are all listed for sale here.

If anyone wants any of the minor cab parts (doors, dash/gauges, windshields, etc) let me know quick....

Otherwise, it's off to the recycler with the mess of it.
