    axle hub flip or swap?

    I believe the hubs are not able to be flipped on the 900 series...there have been other threads about this.

    M932-A1 Camp Shelby, MS to S.E. Kansas

    They drive nicely, if I had the time, I'd work up some numbers.

    Took my truck to the Truck and Tractor pull

    I'm always surprised the output shaft in the tranny holds up to that... Nice pull! :)

    m35a2 four speed??

    Hopefully M35Tom will chime in on this as he knows these transmissions better than anyone. I'd like to hear his two cents on the key shear dealie for second gear. Maybe I've been lucky, but other than a load or a steep uphill start, I use second to start with no splits. I also ran one of...

    m35a2 four speed??

    If I'm on the right down grade I'll start in 3rd. The notchy-ness of the shifting out of 1st and losing most of your momentum adapts you to starting off in 2nd gear for about everything unloaded. If you want to accelerate smoothly and not worry about the mentioned gear key, slap the t-case...

    tapered ferrule for winch cable hook...

    Tree guy, Thanks, it's shaft drive with a reversing box in place of the factory frame mounted pillow block. Still uses both stock Unimog PTO driveshafts in the rear. M16ty is correct. That ebay wire rope socket is too small. It's lists accomodating material and opening width of .438"...

    m35a2 four speed??

    I'd like to see literature showing a four speed in gas Reo's AND a picture of the trans. I agree with loco-hosa that someone is considering it a four speed and granny.

    Sunday winching gone wrong...

    Oh, take note of the spot of white paint on the cable at the spool in the second and fourth pic. I did that so I know where to stop spooling in since I'm usually doing this crap by myself. Once I see that white spot I know I can hook the cable clevis end into one of my rear shackles to keep it...

    Sunday winching gone wrong...

    ALL, sorry for the delay in getting the pics...life happens now and then. Anyway, here are several pics of the longer stops I made for my levelwind set up. 1" aluminum round stock, 1-3/4" long with the back drilled and tapped for 3/8-16. They stop the trolley about a cable thickness away...

    Cleaning Inner Axle Funk- Dana 60.

    Yeah, not long after I got the Mog I became the first person to do maintenance on the front axle. It had been swamped at one point and the differential, pinion, and all bearings on axle (thankfully not portal boxes) were destroyed. I rebuilt it with pristine take out parts I found in upstate NY...

    931 Brakes Locked at GL

    Actually there was a post not long ago with a guy or a guy's buddy working for GL saying that a LOT of the 900's had the brakes stuck like you're referring to. Several members slapped on a 'Thank' for the info.
