    Standard H Transmission

    This is a profound amount of work just because 4th and 5th are inverted. The reason they're inverted is explained here: This thread, specifically post #5: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/4190-about-our-transmission.html I have surfed this forum for 7+ years and I have seen every...

    M923 Dump Conversion with 8" dual stacks

    I like the safety lock for the bed, most dump conversions don't have anything like that (mine included).

    Tread of Mule

    It's a tight fit in an M105. Also a tight fit in the back of a longbed (8') pickup.

    M38A1 saved from scrapyard

    It is indeed M38A1. They have replaced the blackout lights in the grille with aftermarket turn signals, a super common modification on A1's. The grille is identifiable as A1 but the deeply inset headlight buckets. CJ5's aren't set so deep. I also do not think CJ's had hinged grilles, but...

    Which rear main seal??

    I've used 27 and 28, never encountered a crank with a groove bad enough for the sleeve. Neither one leaks. Both of the ones I removed were TIGHT on the crank. Never seen a seal that tight. Guess I'm used to smaller engines where the seal doesn't fit so tight. Multifuel

    Redstone M931 Recovery Problem

    I don't know if Wreckerman has the ability to deal with stuff that big that's disabled but he's dead reliable and has saved clintogf and my bacon on a couple occasions. He's also amusing. There are a couple of other members who have posted up that they can assist in Redstone ops, I'd do a...

    M38A1 saved from scrapyard

    Apparently this was a situation where an older gentlemen had it , then stopped driving it for whatever reason and it sat. He passed away, widow didn't understand it's historical significance, sent it off to scrap. I won't be able to get a title. Ga. just flat out will not issue titles for...

    Axle Seal/Hub Thoughts

    The shape and design of the rockwell makes it incompatible with "oil bath" type bearing setups like you describe. Military rockwell = greased bearings. Do a search for "oil bath" and you'll find the thread(s) discussing this.

    I feel like something is missing here( PTO)

    Phil just got our last set of extra bumperettes. The spring bolts can be had from hardware places, half the time they're ruined anyhoo. I'll look in our stash this weekend. If I don't pm you, remind me. I was dropped on my head a lot as a child and have bad memory.

    M38A1 saved from scrapyard

    So a friend of mine called me last week and said "I know a guy who runs a scrapyard (not a junkyard but an actual metal recycling place) and he has some kind of Willys Jeep. It's military but before my time. They're gonna crush it next week, wanna go look at it?" Well, does a...

    You're missing multiple things. 1. PTO shift linkage and associated bracketry 2. Skid plate under the air pack 3. A solid reading of the TM's 8)

    We'll be there-picking up a ton of paint and hanging out. Not bringing any display vehicles or sale items.
