Do you grind it for animal feed....or a mash? Just curious. How many bushel?

Here is one spring (near) complete. I added another leaf making it a 9 leaf pack. Each leaf was sanded with a sand pad on the grinder, red primer and black. I put a coat of aluminum paint on mating surfaces. I'm impressed with the precision of the shackles and pins and bearings...nice and scale...

Off ebay. No bumpers that I know of. My M105 springs set beside the frame and I have plenty of room up and down. The offset keeps a 7" dia from rubbing on the side of the frame. Here is the title: ½"NPT SINGLE PORT CUSTOM SUSPENSION AIR SPRING/BAG/RIDE/SLAM DUAL PACK VXD2500DP It is...

I got the air bags yesterday and it's left me wondering what the mounting height should be. Specifications say it works from 2.8" height to 10.5", so 7.7" of travel. They recommend against making the bag hold the axle up but it is clear there must be both down movement and up movement. How...

Can you go to one axle in the rear? A softer spring + air bag would give a better ride (doing that on my A3). Here is the on-top-of spring air bag mount for my 4x4 project. It's offset to stay away from rubbing the frame and is held on by the Ubolts. I would think you could get all the...

I've been posting on other threads like U-bolt and pinion angle so will bring the rear suspension to this thread, not piggyback on others. The deuce frame is not cut (bobbed), but I am using an M105 bed (and springs) that will overhang the frame by 3". To center the wheel wells, the center of...

This is the mount that goes on top of the spring to attach the air bags. There is a 3/4" offset to keep the bags from rubbing the frame. The 1/2" cr flat will be held on by the shackles. Shackles are 3/4" . The spring pack pack is a lot of work to clean, round off sharp ends, and primer...

Just made the spring pack of the m105 spring for the rear of the M35A3 4x4, less stiff. I took the spring pack apart and removed four leafs, leaving 7. I have air bags coming that will mount on top of the spring directly above the axle CL and shocks will go inside the frame to the axle (not...

Making changes that affect the U-bolt length so posting it here. I'm reducing the spring pack, increasing the perch height and adding a flat under the U bolts to mount an air bag directly over the spring. Tomorrow I take the springs apart and remove 5 leafs and modify (shorten) the lengths...

Yes, sudden major looseness seems really unlikely with a properly functioning bearing. And sure, $500 seems like good insurance if it's not in the same condition. It's not too high stakes of gamble. feel the output and input for play and rotate it feeling for "smoothness" (no grinding or...

His comment that the rear output shaft can be moved around by hand and that the seal has given up, means the flush is not going to do it. flushing is something that I would do after knowing weather the bearing can be tightened or if it is toast. If there are parts of that bearing in the TC...

To make this more complicated, I'm thinking of reducing the M105 spring pack and using air bags to help under load. I want to improve the ride and was looking/researching shock placement. The idea is to reduce the spring stiffness and yet have load capacity when I need it. Almost every thread...

If it ate the bearing, it has to be split. If it's only adjustment, which is what I would try first, you can probably try that in the truck. I would have to do some research. It's several years now and I can't remember it the output is adjusted from the front or back. The guy I bought my...

I'm looking for comments about the difference in frame height from the front to rear on an M35A3 4x4 project. How much higher is the rear axle from the frame (desired) than the front axle? I've read bobber threads but can't seem to find a comparison. I'm not cutting my frame shorter. I'm...

Unhook the front and rear driveshaft and back off the emergency brake, so you know it's not the noise maker. See if the rear output shaft can be moved up and down by hand. Run the truck in gear and see if the TC is the noise maker. Unfortunately when I had mine completely out and apart I...

I determined my TC was basically new and the 3 shafts had never had the bearings set properly. It worked sweet after I set the bearings right.

Thanks Shannon for taking those photo's. It's difficult to see the driveshaft angle in relation to the angle of the pinion, but it appears to point about straight to the output of the TC, somewhat up hill. Picture 3 makes it look like it could angle up 10 degree. When I search pinon angle...

Sorry I can't help you but I'll post a reply to bring it up. Sounds like the title should read "Emergency bearing help in Baton Rouge". Good luck

A humvee without an 1101/2 is like a dog without a tail.

Buffalobwana, have you ever made rock walls with stones like that? I bought a (Lowes) small cement mixer just for the purpose. They looked at me funny when I wanted a trailer with 1/2 pea gravel and half washed sand at the pit. I hope your rocks were not dumped out of a loader....dented my...
