    Deuce 3053A Transmission pops out of 3rd and 5th

    I run a machine and welding shop and am pretty handy. I replaced all the bearings, main and 2nd in mine (thanks in part to your bearing list). Should have investigated wear more while I was in there. Do it again...

    Deuce 3053A Transmission pops out of 3rd and 5th

    How about inspection related to the function of the braking action/ease of shifting? I have three trucks and my best trans (in the '70) is mediocre about ease of shifting, but I have no other trucks around to reference for "feel". I generally double clutch it because I don't like to force...

    Along the same lines...I'm sure it's in a TM, but what does one look for in synchro wear? Thanks

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Winfred, cool! When dragging trees and junk, it helps to back up close, hook the chain to the dragged object as low and tight as possible, and as high as possible on the tow vehicle. Decreases friction on the dragged and increases for the dragger. :-)

    A little advice please,.....

    Yes, low heat should help draw in the penetrating oil. Then lots of light tapping and a strap wrench. Patience. This reminds me, I need a slave cable...

    M35a1 Advice

    Excellent! I think the tank has a drain plug to flush. Pretty sure 465 fuel filter rack will fit. That being said...with a clean tank a modern spin on filter setup that filters to fewer microns would be better. I think Jeepsinker or rustystud built this one. Primary- Napa 3418, 1"-12...

    Wheel Bearings - Preload Question

    When doing the hubs on my '62, I found the tricky part was that the second nut would push the first nut in on the slop in the threads and tighten the bearings tighter than my initial adjustment, so some fiddly trial and error was necessary. Indicator is definitely the way to go for schooling...
