Well final post for me on this thread. After sustaining a lower back injury in the spring and not fully recovering i let the M135 gobto a new home. I made a trade deal with a fellow steel soldier out in my stretch of the world. He took everything, M135, 12v cummins with spicer 5 speed, parts...

That would have been totally awesome! Thanks for thinkin of me. Good luck with your power pack disassembly!

Still lookin for a flywheel and slip shaft for between my tranny and transfer case.

Ugh! Another set back. The flywheel i bought apparently has no mounting bolts that will fit for the thickness. I have checked around the city to see if anyone might cnc or lathe the hub face thinner by a 1/4 inch but nobody will touch it. They are all to scared the flywheel will blow to pieces...

Ok. Update time. I have still been tinkering with the old girl now and then, as well as my M135. lol! I got some dual step tanks commonly found on old grain trucks and the likes. The hydro boost master cylinder is a perfect fit to match up to the brake and clutch pedal assembly from my donor...

Kinda figured it had to be something along the lines of torque loading in the drive line. Thanks Gentrygarage. An M35a3 jackshaft is mighty pricey! 500 USD! That 700 ish CND. Might see what quick custom splined shaft and corresponding slip shaft would cost. Might be able to use already produced...

All right! First off. Wishing everyone had happy holidays and wishing you all the best in the New Year! Next. The u joint flange from the interm/propeller shaft is a perfect fit to mate to my spicer 5 speed! I also measured the cummins and spicer 5 speed to end up with a rough total of 73...

Plowboy, USMC awesome quick research! Love this site for everyone on here willing to lend a quick hand or throw info a guys way when they get lost! Plowboy i believe i gave you that exact yoke you are indicating with your pen. However that is not what i am looking for. I went under the old rig...

Off hand does anyone know the ujoint size used in the interm/propeller shaft? I am trying to locate a yoke with flange face that will bolt to the tranny instead of bolting directly to the propeller shaft.

A further edit to previously. The tranny flange the looks like it will hopefully direct bolt to the propeller shaft doesnt have two sets of bolt holes. The outer ring of bolt holes is for the brake drum. Looks like i will have two park brakes! Will i remember to release them both once i hit...

Try number 2!

Yes i wrote that my 5 speed spicer will apparently bolt right to the interm/ propeller shaft that goes between tranny and transfer case on the G749 series trucks! I am still kinda in disbelief about it and am waiting for the tranny to drop on my foot. From all my measurements it seems as though...

Ok! I am still alive and at it. It as been a crazy busy year. I finally got a morning to myself to putz around in my shop. It was time to start removing the old starter, clutch and backing plate from the cummins. To say everything came apart easily would be the biggest lie! Every bolt fought me...

Well what a bummer! ! Finally got out to the barn with my various new to me parts. Turns out that the clutch and flywheel are the wrong size! Huge inward groan! My fault for not properly measuring things up before handing over cash. The sae #2 bellhousing appears to be correct at least. Although...

Been a long time since I updated... Mind you I didn't have much to tell. LOL! Till now. I am getting stoked for my project again. I bit the bullet and sold off my Getrag 360 manual 5 speed that came with my cummins The cash I got from that got me a sweet deal on a medium duty spicer 5 speed from...

Hey!! I'm a General now?! Didn't think I knew enough for that promotion!! First platoon fall in! Riiiight dress!!! Aaaaattennnnnntion!! At ease. Here it is troop! The lower planes of the abyss must have frozen over. The powers that be found it in their infinite wisdom to put me in charge of...

Ok I will try to remeber that. Oh man I am chomping at the bit to get at this. So many good ideas and advice here. Just gotta fix my welder now. Pulled the guts it of it in the fall during haying when it sickle mower broke down then our bailer. Plus gotta get that second cab. Lots of time to...

Great minds think alike! That I exactly what ideas thinking to do for the roof line! I figured the center post s are the weak points in the cab. I will either tie them into the internal roll cage or add some gussets. Sure sounds like you would like a do over. Didn't you ever finish your build...

Hendersond, That very well could be your pic you posted of you build. I have a HUGE collection of pic from the forums! There are so many awesome builds going on or that have been done. I try to collect as many pics for fast reference instead of trying to remember what thread they were in...

No I hope the picture load in the proper sequence. My plan is to use a couple long pieces of channel iron from front to back to stabilize the front and rear cabs. Instead of how others have done it by bolting the front of the rear cab on top of the front cab. This is usually done since the...
