gvaneck, Sounds like a flexplate (flywheel) to me. I had an '87 chevy that did the exact thing you describe. It would screech once in about 5 starts. If I let it set for 30-45 seconds, it would start right up as normal. I finally gave up with the waiting, swapped the flexplate, and it fixed...

I am in for 2 people and one M35A2. Likely make it to Haspin Friday morning and leave Sunday. No food for us. There will be another group with us (an M1009 and a 99 TJ ~4 people), but I'm not sure what their plans are. Likely no food for them either. JCKnife, If you end up convoying up I...

G, I like it a lot! [thumbzup] If money were no object I would definitely be asking for some drawings / details to pass to my machine shop.... Problem is... money IS an object! :grin: Docfarmall is going to try one last spot for me. If he comes up blank I think I will keep an eye out for a...

Crawdaddy, I was missing the exact same piece on my Passenger side line. I zip tied the brake line away from the wheel. That got me back down the road safely. I know this is not the "approved" fix, and don't want to get flamed. I have made a habit of checking the line and zip tie at every...

Motomacgyver, Excellent points. I completely agree with the assessment that to be done "right" it should be changed. But it would likely give more service till failure. Thanks for the idea to grind the shaft. A second thought on that, the housing would have to be sleeved in order to hold...

ODdave, Good point, I hadn't even thought about posting those pictures. I don't think the shaft is in GOOD shape, but I had planned on putting it back in. Same with the gears. Pictures below: Thanks, Dave

SS, In my quest to go from a w/o w to a w/w; I have been working on my WN-7-28 for a couple weeks now (on and off). I have been slowly tearing down and buying new parts as the need arises. Many of the parts I have decided to replace. I have a feeling that this PTO was "left to the elements"...

Rebel, I admire your "stick - to - it - ness"!!! Nearly two years later and you are still making progress... [thumbzup] My attention span sort of putters out about the end of year 1 :roll: As far as the paint scheme.... How about four color red camouflage? 8) I think it would keep the...

GFB, WELCOME to SS! I'm not sure where in Indiana you are, but I am in Columbus ('bout half way between Indy and L'ville). Your vibration could easily be the vibration damper (bent pulley)... That is unless it only shows up at a certain road speed. If it is tied to engine speed, I would...

Cubdriver, All of the basic Deuce Info (weights, lengths, payloads, etc) are contained in the "operator level manual". That means that it ends in a -10 - 1. Page 2-22 will show the weights you are looking for. You can download TM 9-2320-209-10-1 here: JATONKA's M35 TM download page That TM...

DH, It appears you did your homework on this one. I, for one, appreciate you taking the time to respond to this post and be fair enough to explain your rationale. I must admit that I don't always agree with your conclusions (not this specific time), but I respect them and yourself. Thank...

Since OD dave brought up serpentine belts: Try a serpentine belt on a '98 Olds 88... General Motors (in its infinite wisdom) ran the belt THROUGH the motor mount! :shock: I don't think I would have been so mad if I wouldn't have been expecting a 15 minute (including beer drinking) job. I...

:ditto: A rebuild is only as good as the mechanic / technician doing the rebuild. Please don't think I am calling all army mechanics bad, but I have to believe that there is some percentage of them that are forgetful, apathetic, or lazy. Likely a smaller percentage than in the civilian...

maybe I'm starting to reach here, but ... " a leak past the fuel shut off" or Maybe he pushed the shut off back in once the engine died, so he wouldn't have to reach under the hood to open it back up? just thoughts... 2cents Dave

JCKnife. The cutoff cable being broke allowed him to forget the accessory switch. Since the accessory switch was not turned off, the in tank fuel pump continued running (until the batteries gave out). There must have been a fuel leak somewhere (injector?) into the cylinder. The fuel (or WMO...

Don, Glad you had a successful recovery, I always remember that "Chance favors the prepared mind"! I absolutely LOVE my M101, it is so useful for so many things. I know you'll love yours. Thanks for the pics, and keep us updated on what you use them for! Dave

USSR, You have opened my eyes to a WHOLE NEW WORLD OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS! I have to say, you guys seriously know how to "Four Wheel" :shock: Are those tracked vehicles privately owned? :drool: Keep those video links coming! Thanks, Dave

All I can offer is moral support, you are more than a few miles out of the way for me! Wish you the best, and be sure to let us know how it goes! Dave

I have to say this: Lucas has an EXCELLENT marketing department. Modern lubricants and fluids have been engineered to do the job better and longer when used straight out of the bottle. I don't use Lucas in anything I own, and I never will. I would rather put the money into FIXING whatever is...

Those look GRRRRREAT! :drool: I have always liked the beefier tread, but never wanted to single out. I think this gives me another option. That is, when I have a few <cough> <cough> extra dollars laying around! Thanks for posting back up, Dave
