Stock wheels, hubs flipped

Rolled her out for a shakedown run last weekend...so naturally stretched myself past the comfort zone and took it for a 30-mile highway trip the the Tri-State Military Vehicle Club show at Camp Jordan here in Chattanooga. Ill get around to doing as close to a full write up as I can soon. Happy...

I'm not a member of the hosting group, but I came across this listing for a show/meet during labor day weekend. Posted without permission: Local news link Bookface linky I hate that I found out about it so late, I am going to be burning quite a bit of the ol midnight oil to get the deuce...

Looks great, this is the same one I've been eyeing. Any other pics of the mounting/install?

Yep, absolutely going to be doing more than just the seal. I don't want to have to tear it all back apart a second time just to do something I should have done right the first time. HA!

Wanted to bring this back to the top with an update. The leaking that started this hunting expedition has been stopped since last year. Truck has been in various stages of torn-apart since then and I've probably only got about 30-50 miles on it since then. There is still oil on (almost)...

"That's funny. Pulling my L fender is what pushed me to replace the harness." Same here!

As of last week Home Depot was still able to pull the Federal Standard code for 383 green, fyi

I encourage this.

Id say so! Sounds night and day different, much smoother sounding. Started within 2 seconds, whereas prior I would have to hold for 5-10 seconds and sometimes max out the throttle cable to get it to crank up. Also, never had it above 50mph before. As for the leaking, there is still some...

Here the quick valve spring compressor tool I made. The hole on the left is held in by the rocker arm bolt, the right is lined up with a valve cover bolt. The large center hole is large enough to slip the valve locks through but small enough that the retainer cannot. Tighten both sides evenly...

Ha! Ill have to update again once Im at that point. I've got a good feeling about it though, so that counts for something, right?!

Well, here's the damage, wanted to update all that helped. And again, thanks to @cattlerepairman for the parts! When I get a chance to get back in the garage, Ill snap a pic of the compression assistance tool I made to hold the spring while installing the valve locks. I started with trying...

I'm down in Chattanooga, I can at least put another set of eyes on it, if you're not in a terrible hurry.

Apparently I wasn't paying close attention, but it is the exhaust valve on the second cylinder, (4th from the front of engine.) Will the rope-in-the-cylinder trick work in this case? Big thanks to @cattlerepairman for the quick hook-up with new springs, I should have them tomorrow and plan to...

Y'all rock, thank you!

To be clear, this is my first MV, first M35a2. I'd never driven one before buying so my understanding of how it was running was less than educated. Now that I know this, the difficult start up makes a bit more sense. I have done a fair bit of TM searching for a lead on the process from here...

Well, M37M35 and gringeltaube, yall were right....broken valve spring, third valve back from the front. Hooray.

Is it possible that there is a leak on the back/top of the differential that could be spraying that one area? I know that doesn’t account for it making oil...booster pump seals and hydraulic head seals arrived today. Hoping to get time in the next few days to start on those. Flame heater...

FDC was already bypassed...? I got the flame heater yanked today, will have to get plugs tomorrow for intake elbow. 3-seal kit for hydraulic head ordered; the viton rings? Big Mikes has this kit for the HH and then a kit for the booster pump with an o-ring, washer, snapring, and a...
