    Auxiliary transmissions and the Deuce

    The spicers are easier to find so I'm sure they made more of them than the eaton fullers. The hard part is finding one with 0.75 OD every time I find one of either is $3-6k or 0.95 or 0.85 final ratio.

    Auxiliary transmissions and the Deuce

    As the title says, I'm thinking about a auxiliary transmission for my deuce. I started a while back swapping the engine and transmission to a Cummins 12valve and a Allison md3060 automatic. (previously had a mt643 that got destroyed when I dropped it) I singled our the rear axle, got 395 tires...

    Driving with FLIR

    Thermals are nice but they are digital and have a refresh rate you have to think about, I can keep my deuce going pretty good at 40 with my PVS-14s Any faster and I'd out range my IR illuminators. Having tried driving with the RH25 and Yoter-C the minor lag takes some getting used to. But that...

    M35a2 NV4500 Conversions?

    I've thought of this many times as having a 6bt and nv4500 in the back of my shop. There are a few older model eaton fullers that 'might' fit Like some of the TO-905 series. Or a 5 or 6 speed with a 1:1 final and a brownie box aux transmission after the transfer case like a 3A65 just down shift...

    5 Ton springs for a m35 bobber

    I came to the same conclusion. After way to much searching and only find 2 topics on it by accident, it seems for some reason using 5 ton springs in a m35 is not a popular topic. While it would work I would have to take a few leaf from the 5 ton pack, or add a few leaf to the 2.5ton pack. So I'm...

    5 Ton springs for a m35 bobber

    Well I'm bobbing my deuce and I still need to carry a quick question. Would front springs from 5 ton (m818 ) work for a bobbed m35a2? I was going to use front deuce springs and right before I started drilling the holes(well I drilled on hole) I started thinking about how I was going to add a...

    Deuce external fuel pump?

    I still have a 24v system/alternator but its only for the starter, my big 24v power inverter and the 24v hydraulic pump for my crane. Since I replaced all the gauges with autometer z series and converted all the lights to LED there no need to keep small stuff at 24v. Plus the fire department...
