It didn't occur to me that oil was getting on the clutch, but now that you mention it, that could be a serious problem. I may start a new thread if nobody sees it here that can help.

There's a second problem and rather than starting a new thread, figured I would post it here. After driving 100 miles to my destination, I noticed dripping coming from a hole at the bell housing under the truck. (It's the hole that can be plugged for driving in water.) The drip was motor oil...

Thanks for the info. I'll switch to the 356 bulb. My speedometer gauge has always been under-illuminated. I will multimeter the voltage first and set it to 28.5 volts first though.

Any instructions on adjusting the voltage if I find it is too high? I'd assume there is an adjustment screw or something around the generator/alternator.

I wound up giving my deuce a seriously long workout yesterday. It got a nice long drive of about 200 miles round trip when I went to pick up an M105A2 trailer that was for sale on Craigslist. The darnedest thing happened on the way home. When I was about 30 miles from home one of the dash bulbs...

Picked up the trailer late last night. It's a beauty, ripe for restoration. I took these photos this morning while heading out for work, but I forgot to get one of inside the bed. It was early and I was still tired from the late drive last night. What an experience it was trying to back a...

Nice! They look exactly like the trucks Boyce has.

I tried to take photos with my cell phone, but no luck. The pictures keep coming out black where the wiper motors are because it is too bright outside. :cry:

You are correct DC. The replacement went a-okay. There is a noticeable speed difference between the two. The plastic one is faster, but not by too much.

After fighting with my driver's side wiper motor, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I bit the bullet and ordered one new metal wiper motor to replace one of the junk plastic ones that came with the truck. The final straw was having the plastic triangle handle snap off in my hand while...

My temp gauge sticks a little. After the truck warms up, it just springs to about 140 degrees then will slowly raise to normal operating temperature. I can some times coax the gauge to respond sooner by tapping the gauge glass.

Is that a building? lol

Wow, that's a seriously loaded truck and trailer. Cool! :-D

Yeah, the remaining trailers are rough, but are worth the money just for the tires alone, IMO. Most of the trailers have great wheels and 80% tread life. I considered picking up another one just for parts, but there's a general lack of space where I live as it is. Cool thanks!

Any idea where I can get bows, racks and canvas?

So do your neighbors. :-D

GL's photos tend to be rather lacking. That's why they say inspect the item personally. That way you know what you will be bidding on. Plus you can photograph it to make sure nothing gets stolen. Of course this advice is "do as I say, not as I do", since I bought mine sight unseen. (The one as...

This is the trailer I'm getting. It's an M105A2 built in 1986 according to the data plate. Tires are 80% and it has only slight surface rust in a couple areas. The only big problem I can see is a couple of dents. The bad one is in the front as seen in the photo. The other is in the tailgate...

Cool. Then I should be okay to tow without hooking up the brakes.

Posted this before. It's my 1978 M35A2. I just repainted the wheels.
