Check with john Winslow, last time I asked he had running take-out NHC250s for $1000. I just finished rebuilding the heads on mine, 6 new injectors and gaskets was over $1000 in just parts with me doing all the labor. Good luck, Karl

Hello SS 1400x20 radial tire question hope you guys can enlighten me. What is the difference between the Michelin and Goodyear 1400x20 radials? The Michelins appear to have a more aggressive tread, but I have been told the Goodyears last longer and ride better. My M813 is used 90% on road so I...

Don't let the chance to own a unique piece of military history pass you by, anyone can own a common M35 and blend in with the crowd! I have owned our M215 for over 8 years and it is still our favorite. Most parts are available and since it is earily 50's technology that makes it very easy to...

Let me know if you need any info, your M59 and my M215 share the same dump parts. Karl

Glad to see they moved the Stuart tank, last time I was there it was looking real sad. Don't think the tanks are for sell I used to visit there a couple times when seeing family in Youngstown.

Hello SS, What type of fluid is used in the M813 / 5 ton power steering pump? Thanks, Karl

Hey jwaller, Thanks for the info, are these worth rebuilding or just replace the pump? Karl

Hello SS, The power steering pump on our M813 has started leaking a lot out of the breather vent on top. I have cleaned the vent and made sure it was not clogged. What causes these to leak and is there a fix besides replacing the pump? Thanks, Karl

Radium Gauge My M215 has complete AC spark plug Radium gauges except for the speedo. I was able to recently find a nice Radium Speedo to complete the cluster, but the face has a few scratches. Just purchased a 3M plastic headlight lens restoration kit, hope to polish the scratches out of the...

Hello SS, I need to move a M35 from south eastern NC to the Fredericksburg VA area, any suggestions or idea of cost? The truck is a non-runner so it will need to be winched on to a trailer. Thanks, Karl

Check the sending unit and the gauge to see if they are rated the pressure. Sending units and gauges are available in 60 and 120psi, if mis-matched they will not read properly. Two of my M35s were mis-matched and read inaccurately low oil pressure. The sending units are marked 60 or 120. Hope...

M215 / m216 I know this question has been asked many times before, what about the single speed transfer case? The M211 series transfer case has two rear out put flanges one needed for each rear axle, the only other available is from a CCKW. Since your truck has a double ended PTO for the winch...

Recovery Another Rory and Sarge big adventure! Several years ago you guys showed up at my house in the blue Suburban to retrieve a M35A2 I had sold. I was impressed with your drive from Texas to Virginia and plans to drive the M35 back to Texas. Than I was really blown away when you informed...

Bessemer Halftrack Hello Mike, That halftrack may be long gone? I'm originally from that area and know the concrete plant and limestone quarries well. Here is the story as I know it and related by Phil Nelson of Columbiana, Ohio (Nelson's Jeep Parts). There were several White Halftracks used...

Hello SS, Pulled the heads off the NHC250 this weekend, everything on this engine is BIG! The motor was starting to consume water and noticed / smelled antifreeze out of the exhaust. Hoping it was just a cylinder head gasket or a cracked head. I really did not want to pull a cylinder liner...

Citizensoldier, Try Wigington Surplus in Piedmont SC 864-859-2692 Be patient when you call, the owner is very difficult to understand (stroke?), but is a very nice gentleman to deal with. At one time he had NOS complete windsheild frames complete (inner & outer) w / glass and all rubber for...
