Subject: [MV] M211 Front axle setop
Knowledgible Listers,
I have been having trouble with the front axle of my
M211 not engaging while working in mud. Yesterday I
ripped into the axle and found the problem to be a
broken axle shaft. The sad part is that the shaft
broke exactly at the point where it passes through the
bearing outboard of the third member destroying the
bearing and the preloading nut.
Has anyone out there ever had to set up one of these
thirdmembers? The manual that I have does not cover
this very well, it there another manual that is more
detailed concerning driveline repair?
Also, does anyone know the proper name for the
cone-shaped fittings that go around the bolts and
press into the recesses on the hub flanges? At first
they look like lock washers because you can only see
the very top, but in reality they look and act like an
overgrown swagelock or compression fitting.
They do their job well as it took much straining and
aggrevation to get the hub flanges loose. Are M35's
or CCKW's equiped with these?
Any help would be appreciated.
