I live in Northwestern Indiana. A portion of my property is dune sand, with seashells & cactus! Dune sand=sugar sand. I've had tractors, 4x4 trucks, Jeeps, & a Deuce stuck at one time or another. As mentioned, momentum is key. And if the wheels spin more than twice, you're screwed. Stop & find...

I like that truck! Eric CBVET

Crane Good info, Chaplain. But what fun it would be! Eric CBVET

I didn't ask the price. Was afraid it might be cheap & then I'd REALLY want it! Eric CBVET

If I only had the money! How many times have we all said that? Spotted this in a junkyard this morning. Eric CBVET

Does having a turbo significantly reduce the smoke when burning a WMO/gas mix? In the posts I see hardly anyone mentions turbo or not. Would be nice to know. Eric CBVET

I like the Canadians that speak English. But I don't think it's legal to sell them a US Military truck. Eric CBVET

I went against a lot of guy's advice here & bought a '52 Stude M35 gasser with winch. After a paint job & clutch I have $4500 in it & consider it WELL worth it. Eric CBVET

RE: fuel Henry, I've been really busy lately. You know the world might stop if I don't keep the Slurppees running! Anyway, in the next couple of weeks I'll post some pictures of the setup I am using, & filter numbers which I use. In answer to your questions: I'm told they can be washed &...

Well I guess I'll have to look again. Thanks maccus. Eric CBVET

My buddy drove the 1952 M35 about 5 miles to my place to lube & inspect. Was checking differentials & noticed slight pressure in housing when I removed the fill plug. Also appears to be a slight outer axle seal leak. I've read about the axle vents plugging-up, & figured I had to clean them...

Got a pair od size 31 WalMarts in the 813 w/ Cummins. Three years old & doing fine. Eric CBVET

FWIW- Using sock or bag type filters down to 1 micron. I don't heat or thin oil first. At 55-60 degrees room temp. I've had no problems. Eric CBVET

I mix gas with the WMO only because it's cheaper. May lose a little power I suppose, but not much. I've used diesel too. I'm going to check price on HHO to mix. Eric CBVET

A local shop says they can get .45 a gallon for used oil. I could buy from him, but the barrels are kept outside & get a lot of water in them. .25 A gallon is a good deal if it's not 1/2 water! So far, I've been lucky in getting free oil from private individuals, independent truckers, & small...

A "hard" pedal can be caused by "frozen" wheel cylinder pistons. Eric CBVET

Rocco, I had some 100 & 20 micron that were given to me, but I bought the 1 micron from MSC. They have all types needed. I'll try to find the part numbers if you need them. I think Grainger has them, & I've seen them on ebay. Look up sock filters or filter bags. I'll post more info later. Got...

Total cost for filters is about 4 cents per gallon at worst. And that's just burning them with the trash when they start to plug up. They could be washed & reused I'm sure. Eric CBVET

Starting today, I'm running a mix of 1/2 unleaded gas & 1/2 filtered used oil. Oil is a little bit of everything I guess. I run it through 100 micron, 20 micron, & 1 micron sock filters. I don't heat the oil. Just pump it through the filters with a Harbor Freight hand pump. Takes about 6 casual...

Two local Tractor Supply stores didn't have it. NAPA stocks it. Eric CBVET
