    Troubleshooting possible T-case issue

    Parking brake applied, still rolls...agree with the others it's not the transfer case. Pinion gear/shaft sheared off inside the diff. Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.

    M105 Too big? think again

    I would call it a "bobbed 105" :wink:

    Oil in the bearings: Opinions wanted.

    Yupper good plan, cork plug and possibly a new seal. The photo looks like an original seal there, if oil is passing it because the rubber is old and not plyable any longer it could leak and you will be doing it again. The cork can come from ACE hardware, bottle corks cut to size and less than a...

    Fuel efficient parking spots

    The other day I went to go do my patriotic duty and participate in the election process by early voting here in Texas. I thought I would drive the most patriotic vehicle I have, my former military M35A2 down there. To my disdain what do I see right in front of the entrance of the new public...

    moved 4 trucks at once!

    From what I've seen come up for auction from time to time the Army's cars were almost home builds and fairly large, what we would call an A-series car. Might have some Fairmont or Kalamazoo frame or body parts, wonder what hey are using for a TM to rebuild it?

    Noob checking in - Houston TX

    Wow, I had no idea what the deal was on it since I went by at 79 mph each time and only saw it in daylight once. Sorry to hear that, hope I didn't steer anyone the wrong direction on it...just passing along what I saw.

    The Deuce on the Houston/Stafford car lot was gone when I went by last trip, hope someone from the SS community got it.

    Houston to El Paso

    You do know there is NOTHING at Dryden but a mom and pop "trading post" right? Don't leave Del Rio with an empty tank, Sanderson is the next fuel and lodging, Alpine is better for hotel/motels. Old Hwy 90 is far more interesting a ride than I-10 for those willing to run it. I hear there is a...

    Pros and Cons of zipper boots

    RedBeard... you may not be able to just "unzip" them and put them back together, chances are that the pull part that zips together has been cut off after installation rather than just letting it hang. They were designed to ease installation/replacement and not go on and off multiple times. Also...

    Air compressor failure

    I agree, your failure was caused by lack of proper lubrication due to engine bay being too clean. If you ever come this way I will pay you a large sum of money to make mine look that good. That compressor is a bit of a pain to change where the mounting nuts are on the back side. I ended up...

    Maybe an hour from catastrophic failure!!

    I see from that photo you have one loose lug nut, fix the obvious first then move on to the more technical issues...

    Oil Pump Removal

    Remove the gear on the front of the pump? It's not indexed to anything for timing since it's just a pump, is there a retaining nut holding it on the main shaft of the pump? Have you got offset box wrenches? They make shorty box wrenches if it's hitting outside the photo. Something with a decent...

    Houston used car lot M35A2

    Here is one for you Houston Texas boys, I spotted a Deuce on a used car lot in Stafford between Mo City and Sugarland on old Hwy 90 just east of the 59/90 interchange. It showed up this past weekend. For some reason it is one of only two vehicles on the lot that used to be quite full for a...

    what does this mean?

    Gear oil leaking past the seal by the axle flange or the key way missing the cork plug, mixes with the grease and presto-messo. The inner seal on the spindle up against the brake backing plate is a tight fit and only keeps the dirt out of the bearing, it's not an oil seal since these are not wet...

    Leaking Deuce

    The gasket around the fuel in-tank pump and sending unit may be leaking due to over filling as previously said but may also just be in need of replacement. You appear to have the old style fire ring head gaskets and they tend to seep oil as I see in one of the pictures. It's really nothing but...

    New guy from Texas

    Ooops! Rockport...not Rockwall up in the Dallas area, sorry. Got my rocks mixed up. There have been some good looking M105A2 trailers go thru Ft. Sam recently as well as 101's. They seem to have them regularly. What is that about a 3 hour drive for you? Last time I talked to Rod at the GL lot he...

    New guy from Texas

    Welcome, the 105A2 wieghs in at 2,750 lbs. empty with 300 on the tounge. The 101 is quite a bit easier on everything. Fortunately both are fairly plentiful on the GL auctions from time to time up in your area of the state if you don't want to go the craigslist/ebay way. Brought a 105 home with...
