Very late addition, but if anybody going to Redball the Morning of the 20th Friday wants I'll throw these in the car I need to know by 4PM today driving out this evening.
5 ton power steering pump from Waterloo $400 (never used)
NEW hydraulic head from Boyce $400
M35a2 turn and tail lights...
Thermals are nice but they are digital and have a refresh rate you have to think about, I can keep my deuce going pretty good at 40 with my PVS-14s Any faster and I'd out range my IR illuminators. Having tried driving with the RH25 and Yoter-C the minor lag takes some getting used to. But that...
I've thought of this many times as having a 6bt and nv4500 in the back of my shop. There are a few older model eaton fullers that 'might' fit
Like some of the TO-905 series. Or a 5 or 6 speed with a 1:1 final and a brownie box aux transmission after the transfer case like a 3A65 just down shift...
Looking at my rear pack and the front pack I know I need the bottom plates since both the fronts are cracked. Which other spring do you think I could steal?
Also if your wondering a rear rockwell with brakes, oil and two 9.00-20s weighs 1037lbs
I came to the same conclusion.
After way to much searching and only find 2 topics on it by accident, it seems for some reason using 5 ton springs in a m35 is not a popular topic.
While it would work I would have to take a few leaf from the 5 ton pack, or add a few leaf to the 2.5ton pack.
So I'm...
Well I'm bobbing my deuce and I still need to carry a quick question.
Would front springs from 5 ton (m818 ) work for a bobbed m35a2?
I was going to use front deuce springs and right before I started drilling the holes(well I drilled on hole) I started thinking about
how I was going to add a...
I've already removed all the stock military filters, and have a dual filter system with CAT 1R0750 2 microns and a CAT primary/water separator filter that I'm forgetting
I still have a 24v system/alternator but its only for the starter, my big 24v power inverter and the 24v hydraulic pump for my crane.
Since I replaced all the gauges with autometer z series and converted all the lights to LED there no need to keep small stuff at 24v.
Plus the fire department...
I decided to use the line from a international 4700, alot longer than the B700 lines and much cheaper. 7/16 inverted flare at the top mount, banjo at the bottom.
part number is H77858 https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-13119-h77858.aspx
Was about $20
Well as a part of my build I'm converting everything on my truck to 12v except the starter, 120v inverter and hydraulic pump. But still have a intank 24v fuel pump.
So anybody know of a good 12v pump that I could put on the frame rail? That and a 12v fuel tank switch, planning on dual fuel...
Rusty, what computer are you using to control the allison 1000?
I know this is going to need a Throttle position sensor to get tied into the linkage for the multifuel throttle.
I'm thinking the same about the brakes lines, I'm putting in all 1/4 of the new nickel/copper lines for the hard lines, for the hose, I'm going to see if front lines from a 1994 B700 will work. If I have custom lines I have to a few extra laying around, and the b700 lines are an autozone away.
Had some fun camping memorial day with the guys, Shot a M1919 shouldering this big was fun
One of the guys made some awesome kabobs
Then yesterday fought my fender off so I can start getting the power steering in.
Then installed my new peterbilt turn signal switch, no more floor switch for...
And a few days later...
Worked on a jeep for 4 days in the rain, These spark plugs only are 2 years old I changed them Feb 2020
I love the jeep 3.8L....
Got a new crane controller, I'll be wiring that up this week to control more function on the crane, (lights, momentary or continuous 24v...
