10.9 bolt x M16 max torque is somewhere around 250 ft. lbs. Here is a link to chart in Nm.

I don't know much about the new LMTV beyond what I read here in the forums and online. What are the big capability improvements they have over an M35A2? I am guessing it starts with: - equal carrying capacity - power steering - better turning radius - goes faster on the road - maybe better fuel...

I believe it is just a term. The front wheel drive on a deuce the actuating lever is labeled IN/OUT. In meaning front wheel drive is engaged.

Thanks to this I had to read all about just what a tokamak is and how one came to NJ...

I wonder if a place like this could rebuild it. The Driveline Shop Had a 1990 Audi V8 which needed the driveshaft and CV joints rebuilt a ways back. This place did it no problem. That was an oddball car. Could be worth a call I guess.

Looks like an M35A3 which has a different engine. Totally different animal. Has to be a ton of info on that one here all over. It is a CAT 3116 I believe.

Might fit in a 5' x 9' U-Haul motorcycle trailer. Cheap to rent I do it for motorcyles. Will likely have to plan a round trip with it though. Dimensions here

Wow thanks for the explanation. Makes more sense now. Learned something. Gringeltaube again was way ahead of the rest of us. Hope someone has what you need.

I have a whole center chunk. One of the spacers broke at some point in the past. The rest seems good. I wasn't about to press it apart to replace the spacer. No real use for it if the parts you need are in it. I stole the pinions ends off of it.

Nice work Dave

I had two skids of tires and a lifting truck brought out of there this year. All arrived on a standard closed trailer. I swear someone said YRC was leaving a trailer there for LTL.

All you guys are amazing. Blows my mind the troubleshooting done thru this forum.

Cost must have been the driver. The 5 ton from the same period had air brakes right? They must have decided the smaller truck did not need the braking system of the larger which likely cost more to install. This system is simple and has fewer components perhaps.
