The picture above of the drum is after cleanup. It looks like it could use a light machining but I'm thinking its not that important as long as it turns and can be tightened enough to hold a load. Seems like several folks on here have removed the brake altogether. The brake shoe material...
Winch Progress
I have taken both ends of the winch apart. The input end was dry but everything looks ok. The band brake was too tight and had lots of residue from the brake shoe stuck in there. I pulled the drum and cleaned all loose rust/grit from it using a bench grinder with a wire brush...
I was hoping for a different answer. : ( I have the TM you indicated but I will print it. Looks like I could be headed for a complete rebuild of this thing but will take it apart slowly and see if it has an easy fix before I take it to parade rest. I have never taken any type of gearbox...
Gringeltaube,
Hello again, First chance to try again today. I found a straight slot plug on lower passenger side housing of winch that I think is the brake drag adjustment cover but I could not get it to budge. I suspect I will have trouble getting every bolt out of the aluminum as I did the...
Gringeltaube,
Thanks for the quick response! I bent my punch in the CW test and will try the brake loosening trick before I proceed. The post you referred me too was helpful and interesting. Thanks for finding it as I looked but had no success.
I'll let you know how I fare when I get a...
Troubleshoot M35 Winch Problem
Guys, I have a question and maybe a problem.
I purchased a used M35 winch about 8 years ago planning on putting it on my M35 which has since been converted to a dump with one rear axle. I was told the truck it came from had been rolled and he parted out the...
I finally replaced the 12 volt pump with a 24 volt pump. The difference in buying pieces to change the 12 vdc to 24 vdc vs buying a 24 volt pump complete was only about $200 so I figured it would make sense to be able to use the 12 volt pump on a different project. So that's what I did. The...
Here is the hinge setup I used on mine. The pins are 1", I believe, but my bed has been cut down almost 3'. I built a sub-frame of 2 X 2 x .25 square tubing and bolted it to the factory bed mounting bolts. I did remove the wood rail caps. I can pull the bolts and unplug my power and remove...
Thats what I was thinking. : (
Does it runs all the time when the transfer case is turning?
Thanks for the info. I guess I will try to sell it as I don't have a 5 ton! : (
"See it here... CW for forward H & L; CCW for reverse. (when looking at the front side of PTO)
That is always - as long as the clutch was engaged - and no matter if the transmission was in any gear or neutral. (the PTO is driven by the reverse idler gear, which is in constant mesh with the...
You are so right. What was I thinking. But I already have the winch PTO stuff! And I think the pump I already have is one direction since it has a larger input port then output port but I will look into that. I could go with just using one direction (i.e. forward only vs both forward and...
Guys, I have converted my M35 to a bobbed truck and installed a dump kit on it with a 12VDC pump and controls. I have trouble keeping the one battery it is hooked to charged and it is so slow to dump and drop. The pump is required both on lift and drop. No fun. I have a (not yet installed)...
I sold mine and I miss it! The kids needed more room so I went with a Suburban instead but I miss the simplicity and the diesel smell. I guess I could pour a cup of diesel in the floor of the Suburban.
I got a notice from Cummins yesterday that these engines will be available to order on the 29th! Still no price but that will have to be available on the 29th. Time will tell.
Price?
The only thing they have not said is the retail price for these re-power engines. Ive attempted to get a quote several times but they have not responded yet. Still waiting. I see guesses from $8K to $17K!
It is good to hear they have been reliable. They are lighter then anything close...
It's Running Again!
Thanks SGSC-G4 for the offer. I ended up installing the tube into the engine until it started tightening up, turned it back just enough to get the top of the tube away from me and pulled slightly (pretty hard) until it was straight. I only pulled once and could not feel...
Thanks for the responses. I took it apart last night again and found what looks like a bent tube on one of the filters so I will attempt to straighten it today and go from there. I have access to a replacement if necessary but a good drive away from home to get it. The base was/is clean and...
