Looks very similar. Could you locate any spairs for it? I just missed that part in your whole long story. Even tried to rifle through but ran outta time. -

Or at least loudly say over the world they would. I sure don't know for sure. I haven't seen any bombs there in person.

Thank you Vlad, that does sound familiar. RIP Mike. .....Hippy

I had an issue with that steering gear when purchased the truck. But put myself into even larger issue due to lack of attention. Originally there was obviouse damage to the input shaft seal. And also the top cover bolts were partially removed and those which hold the joint bracket too. So looked like somebody tried to fix the leak but hadn't. After I fired up the engine and drafted some fluid into the reservoir the seal (or the place it supposed to be) started spitting oil if I spinned the steering wheel. I drove the truck for 20-30 meters to get it into my property from the street. Than parked for better times. Recently a need showed up to relocate the truck. I had a couple of similar gears off R-models in a shed and figured to just swap the unit. We put plenty of efforts to pull the Pitman arm off the shaft and have extracted that darn weighty piece of iron from the chassis. And only when it was off I could find out although general look was very similar the DM unit appeared notably larger than those I had off R's. This way there's a need to swap the seal at least or revise it fully (that's preferrable). One moment I dislike we had to heat up the Pitman arm by torch since it didn't go otherwise and I now worry on the condition of its shaft seal either. The shaft hasn't become really hot and I saw no smoke from that spot but seems reasonable to make the check or a swap. So the questions are: Can anybody identify the model? I haven't found any serial number/stampings. Cast digits only. Is there repair manual avalible? What are the part## for both input and output seals? Thanks in advance, any input is very appreciated.

Since that's 4x4 and you need to shift the transer case to Lo sometimes and that's air operated shift it looks like there's a reason for the input shaft (the output from the tranny) to spin longer. So my bet is it's a flywheel indeed. Not a balancer. Although a balancer could work as a flywheel too. Very interesting subject you discowered, thanks for sharing. As for the truck itself late Mike Harbison (Superdog) purchased it from somewhere. He was offering it to obtain a new home for some coins but at a certain time resolved to donate it to the Museum. I may be wrong on the story but that's how I remember the chain of events. RIP Mike.

Dunno Israel been the test ground, kinda close to home if the wind drifted the wrong way But I'm not sure that region of the world values their own lives enough to give a toss about that risk No matter, I'm sure they would of tested their new toy somewhere Paul

A buddy of mine used to haul oversized… he was telling me one time with a police escort they tore down a traffic light entire crew radio the cops they said don’t worry about it keep on going lol ok!!!!!!
-
when i ran manhatten with the oversize, 99% of the time i had police escort both in and out of the city as we would have 4-6 cops working traffic for us. so going in they would close down intersections for me to turn and made sure i got there, and then going out they would do the same thing to make sure i got out safely. usually 2 or 4 for traffic control, and 2 to keep pedestrians out of our way and make sure the trucks, machines, and their contents did not grow legs and walk away.

Yeah, but trucks are not allowed on any of the "parkways" even pick-ups used to get tickets for being on there.
