Welcome. Hang in there. You'll get it - but your right. Some pictures will do wonders, especially for those of us that haven't moved up past the M37 yet.

Its easy to feel like the wires are scrambled, as there are numerous diagrams, and they are often "just a little different". For instance in the 1st diagram, the Domestic 7 pin, is for 7 round pins or OTR trucks. That's different then the 7 flat pins or RV plug. My application is M35 Cargo...

You can take most winches apart, reassembling it with the input drive, where you want it. They are really pretty simple. Install new seals while your at it.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]675957[/ATTACH Pictured is my 1956 S120, International, showing the body. IH used the same stuff for years.

The cab & cowel itself, is International. The two piece rear window was used by them until mid 1955 when it changed to one piece. The windshield was used by them until mid 1957. But others used the same windshield too, namely FWD. The rest, I'm not sure about - hood & front fenders are...

Very nice. Welcome to the site.

And the Rules were up front too.

That A3 is far more rare & valuable then say an A2 or especially an A 1 (the bodies & frame, are the same). If your swapping out the axle, do it to one of the latter, and sell the A3. Its a real shame to chop an A3 just to get wheel size. The surge brakes are far more reliable the electric.

Seals have a hard time sealing with loose bearings. Was it on the left side? They have a tendency to unwind, due to the direction of motion (but this is not limited to just the left side). Its really important to lock the bearings in place, and understand how the lock procedure works. After...

Those pumps are usually pretty reliable, for all three to go bad on the same machine.

Yes, you can do a few things - or even a lot of things to the engine, and gain a little more power, but not an impressive, or measurable mount. Nothing about its design includes being a highway truck.

Wow - you even have both parking brake handles, and the linkage appears to be in tact. Thant's indeed a great find.

Not an MV, but I restored my Dad's 1956 International S120 4x4 and have the original Owner's Manual. It says much the same about the dilution of engine oil, but kerosene is recommended, instead of gasoline. Also to use it to dilute the other gear boxes, differentials & steering boxes. 90 W...

A lot of these old vehicles use parts that are rather simple, but no longer common. If one is not prepared & equipped to work on them, its a serious handicap. That whole brake master cylinder is available new on one of the trailer supply places, but if you do a search of lift truck parts...

Use an alcohol sniffer - they work, and they're simple. Some will accumulate in the air tanks & keep them liquid, so you can drain them. I also always keep a squeeze bottle in the tool box with it. Sometimes you have to take a line loose, and put a shot of alcohol in it. You can do that with...

Civy trucks used for a while, 22.5 tubeless wheels with the same Budd 6 hole pattern. They're not real common, but probably more common the Bolster wheels. Check with tire shops. With a couple of those, there are bunches of 22.5 tubeless tires available. Manny of which are the small ones...

I believe "HIJACK" is the proper word here. The topic is & was about the repair, operation & maintenance of a PTO powered winch commonly found on the M35, a vehicle that is some 50 years old. Few would doubt that technology has marched on, and perhaps those who wish to extrol the virtues of...

Good Thread. Having considerable winch time on prior winch & boom trucks, especially an M211, I had not been exposed to the multiple gearing the M35 PTO offers. Shortly after I got the M35 I had occasion to use the winch to recover my farm tractor that I broke through ice with on a pond. It...

The original pump was double acting, in that it both pumped fuel and the bottom half boosted vacuum, mostly for the windshield wipers. It was notorious for the vacuum part to fail, which usually contributed to an oil leak & or consumption. One line went straight to the intake manifold. Under...

If the tire says "tubeless", you can mount it that way. The caveat being that its bead hasn't been damaged when it was on the two piece wheel, and it leaks. I remember when "Tubeless" was just coming out, they were often mounted on "tube type wheels".
