I cut off the threaded stems extending from each end of the rod and then TRIED to drill through the remainder of the threaded stud, down into the rod. It did not go well. I finally scrapped the part. I did purchase an 18" pipe nipple (1/2 Pipe), cut it 17" and welded a 5/16" nut to each end...

I tried to pound out the center rod from both ends, but it didn't budge. I think your solution is the one I will go with. Fortunately, I have a good set of taps and dies. I am guessing that you chose 1/4-28 because all of the bolts on the truck seem to be fine thread. I will probably just go...

I will try that after Christmas. I was wondering if it was originally all-thread. Thanks for your reply...!

Hello all... I have been busy working on the drivers side mirror arms, trying to clean up the rust. The center support rod (on my truck) has a 1/4-20 threaded post extending from the top and bottom of the rod (see pics below) As you can see, mine are pretty well toast from time and rust. Are...

I too would like to be entered in this opportunity! My M35 loves this stuff. I probably should fix the leaks...!

Crickets on my end as well...

I realize this is an old message thread, but do you have an address on the guy in South West MO? I live close to Southwest City and I would like to see what all he might have. Thank You...

I did find the "FLAP" in TM 9-2320-209-20P (Fig 133, Item 8). When I disassembled my wheel, I broke the flap with my pry bars, so I have been searching to find a new one. I haven't yet taken the time to see if I can find it on the internet. This part may be available at a truck stop or truck...

I finally got one (of eleven) of my wheels disassembled. I now understand the duckbill bead breaker tool as well as the value of either WD-40 or soapy water. It took a bit, but once the bead was broken on both sides, it was a simple matter to remove the split ring. I had never taken apart a...

This is GENIUS! I would have NEVER figured this out on my own. Perhaps that is what someone as done with the hubs on my parts truck.

I am not sure what "flipping the hubs" means. I don't see how that would work. I did notice that the hubs on my daily driver are completely different than the hubs on my parts truck. Both data plates show these trucks as M35A2s. I have attached pictures of these hubs. Can someone explain...

After watching the video, I am sold on this torque multiplier tool. I found a system on Amazon for under $60.00. I have to wait to order it, but I am excited to try it. The product description stated that the sockets are metric. I am guessing the 38mm socket will fit the front tires and the...

OK.... I have heard of this tool, but where does a person get this thing and how does it work? I am willing to try ANYTHING.

thank you guys for the GREAT ideas. It never occurred to me to remove the entire assembly and take it to a shop. I will do that tomorrow. I will also bring a lug and thimble nut to Napa to see about a replacement tool.

I was trying to remove my inner dual today when I broke my tire tool. Apparently, the thimble nuts are either rusted in place or so over-torqued I can't break them loose. It seems I will have to get a new tool. I tried to weld the cracks, but my welds didn't hold and it broke again...

Please let me know how they work out for you. I would like to do the same to my trucks.... Thank You....

My deuce doesn’t have a heater, so I have no idea if the CAD drawing is correct. I have nothing with which to compare. If I were to install a heater though, I would draw power from the master switch to power a relay only, getting power to the blower motor from an alternate source.

I did indeed complete the wiring harness. I wrote down every step and have built an outline on what to do, how to do it, how long to makes the additional wires, etc. I didn't take any pictures, but I think it worked out pretty well. I was going to create a PDF file from my write-up and post...

BTW... If tou need some clear shrink tube, send me your snail mail address and I will send some your way.

I tried the thermal labels using my P120 label maker, but in my case, they peeled away from the wires. I thought my wires might be oily, so i wiped them with paint thinner, but it didn't make any difference.
