    These engines served us well up here. They were sometimes hard to start in winter when the temperature dropped below -25 but in that cold weather, when possible, we let them run 24/7 and only shut down for maintenance. When we could not leave them running, they were equipped with a quick start...

    Hi 18operator, Wilfred, and Ruststud. I checked out the engine specs and they are rated at 165 hp at 3000 rpm. The torque spec at 1200rpm is 350ft lbs. Hey Wilfred, your 190ish hp guess, it that a turbo`ed engine or not? Ours did not have the turbo kit. Normally aspirated.

    I am not sure on the horsepower, but the engine size is 8.2 litres (500 cubic inches I think). I will look up the HP tomorrow.

    Hello again. I just saw an errant picture in my last post. Please ignore the last one that looks like the tape measure is floating in mid air. Cheers!

    Third batch: I hope I have taken all the measurements needed to make these parts. Below is the actual steering box with pitman arm that was removed from our truck. If any of you are adventurous in attempting this mod, I wish you the best of luck! Cheers for just outside Montreal Canada!

    I know of a scrap yard that has a frame or two. I will try some time this week to go by there and take some photos/measurements. As for the steering column, I believe it is the same as the American version but the steering wheel itself is small in diameter and is beefier.

    Hello Everyone. The steering box is a Ross HFB-52022. It is mounted on the outside of the frame rail but the is also an adapter plate riveted to it for correct angle and alignment. This plate is easily 5/16-7/16 of an inch thick. The power steering pump is made By Eaton Corp model 16352-1 and is...

    Keep blowing axle seals

    Do your series of 5 tons have vent valves on the axle housings like the M35`s? If they are blocked or stuck, the heat from driving them will expand the oil, and the weakest point in an axle would be the flexible wheel seals. My 2 cents.

    Bonjour Louwon. Quand vous dites le ``Bruiter`` c`est le Klaxon? Hello Louwon. When you say ``le Bruiter``, do you mean the horn? Cheers!

    Hello everyone. I thought I post some pictures of our Canadian version of the M35 deuce, otherwise known as an MLVW (medium logistics vehicle wheeled). This workhorse has been retired and are rapidly disappearing from bases and units. I joined up in 1984 when it made its first appearance in the...

    Mount muffler under cab?

    Our Canadian Deuces ran the exhaust after the Y pipe under the cab on the drivers side and the muffler was mounted at under the cargo box near the front. I never had problems with gassing the boys in the back. If you had troops in there, we simply did not leave the engine running when parked.

    Bumper platform - looking for input

    Our Canadian Deuces all had bumper frame extensions and incorporated platforms built on them. This mod made it so much easier for the mechanics (me) to work on them. Here is what they looked like:
