Width is the killer; mine is about an inch too wide for the standard door; got the depth, and there's just enough height to clear - if the driver ducks down. It's a No-Go.

Nice! Glad to hear it's operational.

No - your status will change to "customer notified" and the invoice you download will be marked "paid in full" once the EUC clears. Until then, you're in a holding pattern.

When you found the sliding gears were "stuck" on the shafts and wouldn't slide, did you have the transmission unloaded ? If the drive train is "wound up", some of those gears won't slide until the stress is taken off the drive train. Generally speaking, the photos of the parts in your...

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that when shifting from 2nd to 3rd it goes right in, but makes a grinding sound after going in every half a dozen times or so? Not going to be oil related. Syncro or possibly shifter related - or even the clutch not disengaging all...

Check all the wiring around the voltage regulator; it may indeed be bad - but it's also likely there's just a bad connection somewhere. Go through everything in the control cubicle, cleaning and tightning all connections and try again. Double check the ground connections on all bits and pieces...

1st and reverse are not syncro in the deuce transmission - so spinning it up in neutral, stepping on the clutch and trying to shift into 1st or reverse without allowing the transmission to spin-down causing it to grind would be considered normal from the perspective of the transmission - but...

I placed an on-line order with OD a couple weeks ago on a Monday. Got a notification that Friday that it shipped. Looks like it takes them awhile. I also emailed Memphis about some steering box parts over the weekend; no word from them yet. Wouldn't think it would take that long to answer an...

Thanks drdstny and sirmrtow. It's not a long haul at all - some 300 miles, and while that's a short run in a modern vehicle, it's probably closer to more than 6 hours in a deuce in traffic. There's also the chance of breakdown - and I just don't have the time to be hung up on the road for an...

Good question. Just too darn busy to get away from work for a couple days to do a recovery. When can I get away? Probably when there's plenty of snow on the ground. I'd like to get the truck here sooner. MVs are fun, but the paying job sometimes places demands on us that don't allow for much -...

Howdy, folks. Looking for quotes to haul a street ready running deuce from Ken Kublo's in Brackney, PA, to Wilton - in south central New Hampshire. No hurry - just want to get it up here when possible. Work schedule demands make it impossible to recover myself until much later. Only issue...

Much obliged, Barrman; I just ordered the CD with this back issue on it.

Greetings. I need to eliminate the play in the output shaft of the steering box on my M35. When you rock the steering wheel, the output shaft moves fore-and-aft - so from what I've found searching and PM'ing a few folks here on the site is there's a pair of bearings pressed into the steering box...

My M35A2 has a tag on the right side of the engine near the front that states the engine rebuild date, contract number, location, with main and rod bearing undersize grind data (0.010" for both) on the crankshaft. There are other tages on other driveline components with information on their...

Are you starting it in emergency more with a pull rope? I've got an MEP-017A, and if you're rope starting, you put it in emergency mode. If you switch from emergency to normal mode, the control circuit will shut the machine down - unless you 'blip' the electric starter switch for a fraction of a...

Thanks, 1stDeuce - I understand what's going on, but I did consider it to be abnormal - since there's no mention of ever doing fuel system drain checks with the lift pump on in any of the TMs that I've seen. That's what was troubling me. Typically if you need the equipment in a specific state to...

We'll take another look at this tomorrow morning. It's too late to get covered with diesel from the filter drain tonight. Tomorrow morning is safety inspection sticker day; got my real NH plates today - which is the material for another interesting story thread.

Thanks for that, BC - this cap is unvented.

Keep spraying it on, Lonesome - soak it good by spraying a little on it a lot of times; that will allow it to keep seeping in deeper and deeper, and hopefully that will free it up.

Thanks, BC; I'll have to go look at the cap again. There's nothing obvious in the way of a vent on that cap - but that just means I need to examine it closely.
