Great time for a drain plug magnet. Also Might have been a good to mention to drive it around before you drain it, the particles will mostly be suspended in the fluid. As well it's a great idea to run about half a quart of clean oil out of the unit with the plug off, as most of the stuff you want out is heavy and gos to the bottom thus a good way to flush them out. (Pennzoil 2 years) Great videos!

The military used GL5 but if you read the specs on GL5 regardless of it being yellow metal safe, it is not made for synchronized transmissions. The military also used motor in its 900 series trucks for its Allison transmission rather than Dextron3, it caused the transmissions to shift harshly and downshift horribly. Just a thought for those looking to change fluids. I use GL1 in the tranny and transfer case for better gear oil properties than 30, 40, or 50 wt oil. It is safe to use GL1 and is safe to use In synchronized transmissions. GL5 can be used in the Rockwell axles though. GL5 works great there because of the high pressures.

Your Duece vids are my fave especially the technical like this one, always wanted one as a kid and am determined to get one sooner than later and these vids are essential for a prospective owner.

Nondetergent straight 40wt or 50wt engine oil or any 80w90 gear oil that says it is yellow metal safe on the bottle, sometimesinstead of yellow metal it'll say protects copper and bronze bushings. When I made this video almost no manufacturer bothered to say if their product was yellow metal safe but have started to do that more now. A lot of people will recommend GL-1 or GL-4 over GL-5 for the best yellow metal protection but I'm not sure if that's still relevant today.

Bo Rhoden Not only is there a way but it's a pretty good idea. I have extended family who are big dairy farmers and when they lose power they have generators that run off the tractor's PTO and it's enough power to keep the milking machines running. It wouldn't be that hard to attach a PTO shaft onto the transfer case and run a large PTO generator off that. They are not cheap but some of the bigger ones that require over 40 hp can put out some good power numbers and would be enough to run an entire house when the power is used conservatively. Great question!

To the best of my knowledge you can drive a M35A2 with a regular Class D non-commercial license in all states due to it being under 26,000lbs GVWR except for California. In the state of CA you'll need a Class B due to having 3 axles so if you bob the Deuce you'll be fine in CA with a class D. I'm also not sure how strict CA is with this but it's on their DMV website. Regarding the MPG for the Deuce. A stock Deuce will get 10ish MPG if it's running on diesel and the speed is kept at and under 45MPH. If you bump up the speed to the high end of the safe zone (50-52 MPH) you'll drop the MPG to about 5. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, but they're not anywhere as awesome as a Deuce! IMO. From the videos, the M35A2 sounds to have a real nice exhaust sound even though a bit loud. I also like that you can get them with a mutifuel engine. By using a mix of diesel and used oil, you could save a fair bit on fuel costs. I just think they're pretty cool machines to be honest. If I'm lucky I may get a ride in one in a few weeks time. While up north on holiday I saw one at Murchison House Station, near Kalbarri. It was after a Google and KZread search that I stumbled upon your channel and Deuce videos! We also had the OKA which I believe was designed and built here in WA (Western Australia). They were of limited numbers so cost a bit to buy, IF you can actually find one!

Great video! I always find time out of my day to watch your videos especially the deuce ones. I remember you changing the oil in the engine of the deuce and I thought to myself the transmission has got to be close to 10 gallons of not more. I'm very surprised it's only a couple gallons. Why would the manufacture use 30 weight oil instead of gear oil? I thought they put gear oil in manual transmissions. Maybe I was wrong. I don't know. It's not an automatic so they wouldn't put automatic transmission fluid in it. Did you change the dif fluid also?

Aussie Bloke! to change diff fluid, just remove the cover off the diff and drain. when done, just fill the diff with proper fluid and you'll know its full when excess fluid starts dripping out. to change transfer case fluid is similar to when changing diff fluid. And remember, this is important, if you have a limited slip diff, make sure you add a limited slip additive.

Peter Kapica That Diff change technique will work for 90% of the diffs out there but not for the Deuce. The Diffs and the transfer case on the M35s have a drain plugs that must be used. Also, their internals on the diffs are only accessible from the top after removing the drive shafts due to them being top loaders. The M35s don't have stock limited slip but yes always take care of you limited slip diff by using the correct fluid and never use a mini spare on the rear because both will result in burning out the clutches.

I can't remember if I mention it in this video or another one but while non-detergent 30 straight wt works I think 40 wt would be a better choice if you're also going to be driving in hot summers. It works for both the transmission and transfer case but not the diffs. I recommend standard 80w-90 for the diffs.

Just noticed something after watching this vid about 100 times,..... You said they used GL1 and then GL5 (improved) in the gearbox,, diffs and transfer case, I can understand that they would need to use as few different consumables as possible and why. So since a 30-50W non detergent oil was meant to be used in the spicer gearbox, dose that also mean you can use that same oil in the transfer case and diffs as well? Aussie.

I've been told that 30-50W can be used in the transfer case but I've also heard that 80w90 gear oil is best so I'm still researching before I change it and make a video.

So just removing the drive shaft between the second and third axle? I've personally never heard of that but it'd probably do some good as long as the extra traction wasn't needed. If it were simply a hwy hauler then you'd probably get an extra 3 mpg or more by removing the drive to the front and third axle and only driving the second axle.

Still learning here sorry if this question is a little minor. But the switch you move from right to left before you let the clutch out. What is that for? I have a 73' M52A2 and don't have that switch. Thank you in advance.

If you're talking about the switch I flip at about 6:00 then that's the front wheel drive lever which uses air pressure to engage the front wheel drive.

Any of those you listed above will work as long as it's safe for the yellow metal in the transmission (GL5, 80w90 may be an issue) and some will shift better than others.

There are several places online that have warehouses of new/old stock that can be found by Google. As far as simple maintenance items NAPA has all the filters and fluids you'll need, except maybe the big air filter. It's kind of like owning any classic car as in simple stuff is easy to find if you have the correct part number but specific parts may be a scavenger hunt.

I notice you didn't use any gas tape on the plug threads to seal against any leaks? Aussie.

Aussie, that was not intentional on my part. I'm so used to working on modern vehicles with sealing washers on the drain plugs that it totally slipped my mind that a sealant may be needed for this. It really only occurred to me while editing this video but I've put roughly 3 hours on the truck after this change and not seen any drips yet...but time will tell. I will say that there was no sign of any sealant on the plug when I removed it and no mention of it in the technical manuals talking about the trans fluid change so I may be OK.

Is gas tape something like Teflon tape ??

Do you or does anyone know if your low air pressure switch leaks air through a hole on the right side of it? The low air pressure switch is mounted to the firewall above the steering shaft. If you follow the wire that plugs into the buzzer it will connect into the low air pressure switch that I am speaking of. I'm wondering if yours has a plug in the hole to prevent air from coming out of it or if there's a hole in yours and there's possibly a diaphragm that blocks the hole from inside the switch or something to that effect that broke on mine. If there is a screw or plug in that small hole on the right side of the low air pressure switch then that would tell me I can plug mine. I don't want to have to replace the switch if I don't need to. Thanks!

+Tyson Capel I've never looked that closely so I can't comment at the moment. I keep my deuce on the farm and due to my recent surgery (lasik) I've got doctors orders to not go to the farm or any dusty environments for a few weeks. Once I'm given the OK to have fun again I'll be sure to check and report back.

do you have 900x20's or 1100x20's?

9x20 for the deuce and a half. The 11x20s were stock on the 5-ton.

Interesting. I've never heard that but I've never claimed to be a deuce historian either. All my knowledge is from the TMs and how they were most recently configured by the government.
