Not with my deuce, but a friend of Scrambler. We sanded the M35 and put on a camo paintjob. Only thing that needs to be done, is some white and black accents..
I went to an oldtimer event with the M36 and some buddy's. They drove a GMC K-1500 (Scrambler from here), M809 cargo and a 1943 GMC CCKW (dumptruck).
2 of us slept overnight in the 1943 GMC. Had some fun, tried to sell any stuff, but failed. And burnt my skin from the sun, not a pleasant...
For the ones on here not on the facebook group:
Not my trailer, but from a buddy who has bought it and would like to know more of it.
If anyone knows the model, or manufacturing date, my buddy likes to know.
Hand operated hydraulic landing gear and ramp,
What we did find out:
It is a...
Picked my M36 up from the shop today, half way home we had a stop planned. about 1 mile before the stop, it started running on 5 cilinders and losing power.
At our stop (my friends shop), we opened the hood, to find the nr1 pressure line squirting fuel like crazy..
We screwed the line off...
Me and a friend went searching for a IP in his storage. After a few hours we found it and the next day it went to the shop where my deuce is at.
The M36 is in the shop for an oilchange and inspection/MOT (how do you guys call it?).. The guy overthere was breaking his head over the leaking IP, so...
I know a guy here in the Netherlands, who buys them at auctions and resells them to just about everywhere. Most going to Germany, but also heard of Italy, Spain and Portugal.
I have something similar going on, its seeping from #6 or the middle bolt.
got the middle one out, cleaned and inspected, nothing to see. Start and run idle, no leaks, went to inspection, it drips all over.
This week.. Nothing much.
Rewound the winch, because it was one big knot. Tried to repair a fuel leak. After repair, it ran with no leaks for 15 minutes.
Next day went to inspection/MOT. Failed because of the fuel leak (yes it started again) a bad steering rod connection and minor cuts in 4...
I have the same problem with my m36.
The passenger door wouldn't open from the outside for a long time.
Today, when changing front tires, my dad tried to open the door from inside, and nothing happened.
How can I get the door to open again? I guess trough the inspection hole? What linkage...
Ah, like that. About the same distance.
And for the quick reply's: I have been fired last summer, and working as a temp.. So I got some time on my hands.
Not being able to find work. I'm a truck driver and backhoe operator. So I spend my time on sitting at home, sending letters to company's...
Thanks. I already had a lot of fun with the truck. and hope to keep on having fun.
@ Fuzzy: The box contains the light cable, some straps and a spare numberplate.
Clinto, I suppose so, he told me he was Scrambler.
Don't know where to put this story, guess I put it here also.
Went to inspection today, it failed, fuel leak, short steering rod not good and 4 tyres not good.
I doubt the tyres, the guy was poking with a screwdriver in a cut and kept on...
