Flexy

Quick sketch.

Those semi links are only designed to move up and down and twist only a little in and out of driveways. A deuce offroad flexes/twists/articulates a lot. Deuce links are vulcanized together.

The trick is, the ball is not a ball, it's a football. It will only swivel so much until bind. It may have to be modified = machined, but that may weaken it. I had one apart and cleaned up to experiment with somewhere around here...

Is the end captured somehow on the round ones? I have an idea to make some races/cups to make the dogbones rebuildable like a "Johnny Joint".

I tow 10k with my deuce and that's as much as I would.

Y’all should come play in the desert or the mountains. We have a few around, just haven’t gotten everyone together.

I'd like to see this A1. :-)

Perhaps a timed accel test in 4th from 1500 to 2500 RPM or something. Three passes, average.... Would need boost and EGT gauges...

Subscribing and mentioning it should help a lot to add shocks to the rear axles.

NUTS! I just ordered a set even though I have spare engines so I wouldn't have to mess with setting up a tester. Please share the fittings you got to adapt the tester, Menaces.

If it's getting louder, I bet you're right and may have an issue. I have some spare axles and probably access to more down here south of you if you come up needing parts.

If I'm not mistaken, the Rockwell bull gears are helical (straight, but angled teeth - noisy by nature). Most modern single reduction axles are hypoid (curved teeth-silent by nature). You can see both types in this cutaway. Primary reduction up top is hypoid and seconday, the big gear, is...

So, looked it up on google earth and it’s a M135. Hopefully get up there and see it tomorrow.

Howdy. I'm an M35 guy. I just heard there's a CCKW locally that's being threatened with the scrap yard. I don't have interest in myself, but wanted to put it out there. It's rough, doesn't have a bed, and may have a Ford engine and stickshift in it...thoughts? Hope to go see it Saturday. Thanks

Radiator is falling apart worse than I thought. Pulled it out tonight. Hope I can make one good one from the three I have by this weekend, have Girl Scouts expecting me to haul them in a parade. 😬 Let’s see, while we’re in here...tach Cable has a hole from the compressor belt, which is now...
