Thanks everyone. I got it done. No leak so far! I used The Right Stuff in the keyway. This was a 8 outta 10 on the hard scale but now that I have the right tools etc it'll be a 2-4 outta 10 next time then a piece of cake after that. Thanks for the input guys!

Hey everyone, relatively new M35A2 owner here. I live in Lake Mary here in central Florida and was wondering if there are any members nearby. I haven't seen any other military vehicles, let alone any type of M35 around my area. If there are, we should have a meet up, shoot the **** and maybe go...

Also, how clean do the mating surfaces of the seals with the hub need to be? I have grease kinda everywhere in there, and figured if it doesn't affect and cause a potential leak, it's not a bad thing.

Thanks guys, I did the hammer trick, popped off no problem! I have one more question though, as I reassembled everything, the outside seal against the outer bearing, which way does it face?? I am 80% sure I put it in correctly, but I want to ask you guys. The rubber "lip" goes against the...

I dont see see how a wooden dowel would help getting it off, maybe on. I can't get the seal in the picture below off

Anybody?

I am replacing my seals on my rearmost passenger axle. I made my way to the inner seal, but it's stuck! How in the heck should I get it off?? I have tried a crowbar, but that's just bending the lip behind it that's part of the drum...

Doghead, I have not. They have 1" hose on them for a snorkel kit. Could they simply be clogged? But my seal still would need to be replaced even if I unclogged/adjusted it correct?

Thanks welldigger. I might be overthinking this, but I've started a project or repair and have had to make a million trips to the auto parts store!

Thanks for all the input guys! So besides the parts I listed, I should snag some schedule 40 1" PVC and put an end cap on a piece to make a seal setting tool, or 3"? I couldn't make sense of the above posts. I am unsure if I have all the right tools, chances are I don't and will have to pick...

Ok guys, I have a busted inner seal on my rearmost rear end. I'm going to order parts to replace all seals on the rear end, so driver and passenger side (figured what the heck while I'm at it might as well do the whole thing). so correct me if I am wrong but I will need: 2x shaft gasket 2x lock...

Excellent find eagle! I am going to snag a pair of these. I will post results whenever I get them installed.

Thanks for the offers guys. But I wont be doing this mod for some time,l Im just planning ahead:-(. I don't actually have the truck yet, I am picking it up in a week or so from another member on here. I am just planning ahead. I barely got my old lady to allow me to get it the truck in the first...

Ok thanks for the input guys. I am having a hard time finding parts source, let alone a fuel tank for an m39 series truck. I will keep an eye out and keep brainstorming this idea.

Hey guys, I was wondering if either a m939 or m809 fuel tank could be put in the m35a2 without a significant modifications? I was looking for something to increase fuel cap, but didn't want to go through the hassle of a dual tank setup. I have no idea the dimensions or setups of either ton...

Ok great, thanks for the info. Non of this is deterring me at all from joining the deuce club, I am just trying to get an idea of what I'm in for and what I can do with it.

Thanks rosco and wreckerman for the input, I can't wait to snag my deuce. Btw does anyone know of any manual transmission of 6 or more gears that is either a direct drop in or requires little fabrication that's a direct drop in, and can handle the mule-style abuse with the lower 4 gears, but has...

That's reassuring to hear. I know a decent amount about gas engines because of my need for speed but I want to experience something new, hence the deuce decision. A slight concern was the ability to get more power from these engines. I know zilch about diesels in general, and it's nice to know I...

Ok, that makes sense. From everything I have read, the multi-fuel will be enough power for anything I could ever need from it, but I really like the idea it can run off many things, so bring on the anemia lol

Ah I would LOVE to go, but I'll probably be at the Navy OCS up in Rhode Island during that time
