Transfer case mountings M35

I have just aquired an air shift transfer case minus the mounting bars. i want this to replace my "sprag" box, but i notice on the air shift box the mounting bar between chassis members is turned 90 degrees.
Can i use the sprag mounting on the air shift box, i bet Gringletube knows!
Thanks Fellas

M35 TC support

Dave, wonder why this came out in the CUCV section???
May be somebody can move this to the deuces???

The air shifts came with two different support styles on the drivers side, don't know the reason. The most common is for the "flat" bar. See pictures below. Both systems are not interchangeable, the supports riveted on the crossmembers are different, so you must keep all the parts you have on the sprag TC. Just swap both supports, bolt pattern on the case housing is the same. Use Loctite 271 on bolts and studs, they tend to become loose.

Transfer case mountings

Gerhard youre a star, i knew you,de have the answers. i,ve studied both cases, and thought i would be able to use the original mounts, as my air shift case has no mounts on at all, but thought i would get advice of the "master". The sprag type mount looks stronger anyway!.
Sorry for posting in wrong section. once more thanks again, don,t know how we,d manage without you.

Of all the deuces I've had and chopped up, I just found that difference the other day. Unfortunatly I didn't find it until I chopped one of the mounts in half. Now I know too!

Thanks for the "title", Dave. Good you don't know how little I know!
We all have to learn a lot and this sure is a great site to find good info fast and share experiences with others! Remember that saying?: If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we’d all be millionaires!

All the best!

Gerhard,
WE ARE ALL MILLIONAIRES HERE. At least in the currency that really counts.

All those rich people have no idea what it's like to have true friends like we do here.

And I'd like to add my thanks to the rest. And I concur about your 'master' title.

Dude, just the one post on upgrading the deuce to power steering made you that in my eyes. When I get it done, I'll post the final installation and hope that it will just come close to the work you've done.

thx.

After seeing some of your posts and the info, you provide in great detail,i would go so far as to call you the "Grand Master"
Keep up the good work.

Something to make th job easier

Here is something I ran across that might make your job a bit easier. The Sears motorcycle jack makes a dandy (cheap too) m35 tranny jack. Good luck with your upgrade. Thanks again Jim for the help with the picture.
