    New Guy with M35A2C?

    I had a LEO friend of mine do a VIN search and he said it came back "No Data" he said that means that it has never been titled. I gave him the info straight from the dash. I cannot find the VIN # on the frame. I havent sanded any paint yet to find if it is under many many coats of paint yet, I...

    I cant seem to get a title for my truck here in FL. I have traced the owners back as far as 4 people and they have all said that the original owner that bought it lost the paperwork from the Government. I dont know that to be true, just word of mouth from previous owners. One even said he thinks...

    Could it be possible that the motor could be locked up due to running it too long without a alt/fan belt on it? It didn't blow a hose and with not getting 24 volts to the guages the temp guage was not reading for me to see if it was over heating.

    Guy that had the SF-97 died and truck was sold by his family. Alt belts were broke but had replacement in hand. Batteries are fine and hold a charge were just dead due to running the lights when previous owner towed it behind another truck without it running. I got this truck from a family...

    Yes it was pulling the piston out. The original cable broke and the guy before me added a wire and I think I just was not pulling the piston out all the way.

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    I have checked battery cables and all all tight and clean, and good contact. My volt meter is not working so I cannot check volts to starter. I pulled the shut off cable and engine did not shut off. That is why I had to stall it. It didn't have either alt. belts when I got it so I didn't want to...

    Got it from an individual. No title. I have traced it back 4 people and still no luck with a title or SF-97. Now I have a new problem. I get home today and the truck won't start. Checked all connections, tried 3 sets of batteries, tried to jump it off, and still all I get is a loud "click" from...

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    I looked up the "Stock #" that is on the dash plate in the TM manuals on Jatonam35.com and it stated it was a M35A2C. The plate on the motor says its a Contenital and from the Ilistrations in the TM it looks like a LDT-465 1-C motor. Am I right on the motor? I know it has the "Whistle" that you...
