    Successful recovery of a M105A2 from Sparta yesterday

    Welcome! The question is... What are you going to haul in it behind your 109? You probably will want a spare tire for it too.

    Giving up on M135.........

    If you crack the line on the master it does not release the brake right???? Then I would think it was an airpack.

    Giving up on M135.........

    I'm concerned about driving the truck without the airpac. I would caution you about that. It is my understanding the airpac does 2 things. Increases the pressure and the VOLUME. The master may not push enough volume to effectively activate all 12 wheel cylinders.

    Mpg of m135

    I got 3 mpg average on my 670 mile trip in the M220 I could run at 60 on the true flat. Some of the bigger rolling hills I was down to 40.

    My new M220 soon to be camper

    It was someone's "bobber" conversion. They took an air assist from another deuce and cobbled it in. At first I thought it was a good idea and then I looked closer. Not good! Seeing how they cut stuff up to get things to fit I decided to torch the truck. Saved the Winch, PTO, trans and every part...

    My GMC, a little update

    Thomas... Have you considered picking up bearings and seals locally? At least you would get a modern seal if you looked it up by measurements.

    My new M220 soon to be camper

    Try this. It is the same video. I just figured it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdyT1Z2ULfE I have it parked broadside to the breeze and upwind of the campfire. 74F outside and everyone is sticky form the marshmallows. It will be a nice sleep tonight. I'm gonna sneak in for a shower.

    My new M220 soon to be camper

    I could not stop smiling! (I will get it fixed so the video is embedded next time) I have to say, it has some get up and go now it is getting fuel. New carb, new inline fuel pump, soldered bleedback holes. It is as snappy as the red one.
