May 17th, 2010. Looks like Murphy's lawyers were all over that stuck truck. Yeah, I've always turned it there before, works to get me stuck after a rain..... especially with a OTR type of truck, try that with a empty 2WD S-10 on winter tires, they can get stuck on grass in a puddle of spit. I...

May 17th, 2010. Professorpg: You must have one unique Unimog,oops, I remember, it's that lovely SEE sold a while back.... Because my S404.114 can pull the M105A2, but the Swiss trailer plug is completely different (fewer wires & smaller unit) then the standard ones on the deuce, and with no...

May 17th, 2010. Hope the EUC holder's ready to explain that one......:?: Deuce ala Thai Bar-B-Quefat lady sings THE GL ad "m35a2- The truck ran when parked. Some damage may be visible...., Buyer loads"

May 16th, 2010. RWoods: Thanks for the article on the M35A2/M35A3's.... A worthy piece in any case. Based on the mileages I have seen on some M35A3's for sale on GL & elsewhere, Uncle seems not to have gotten the full use of these trucks, even though they are now only hitting the...

May 16th, 2010. WYODEUCE: Ditto Doghead's suggestion above. There was an 8' long hose that went between the rear outlet of the air cleaner cannister to the inlet on the air compressor over the top of the engine. If you are going to be playig that rough with your deuce, I suggest you...

May 16th, 2010. M215: Nice recovery. I would have taken it down over the Blue Ridge in low range also, but I wish I were back home in Eastern West Virginia because there are so many slow roads well suited to an M35..... Good luck on the restoration, I'll keep an eye out...

May 15th, 2010. Wish we could come up with an equivalent 24VDC version for the deuce and a half, as the headlights on those tend to be poor....fat lady sings

May 15th, 2010. Gents: All this agonizing over two M151's? If you want an M151, just pay up to the guys that have them for sale...... :???:If you want an M151, get one and sell it to KIA or the Chinese, I'm pretty sure that unlicensed copies would turn up all over the 3rd world....8) And if...

May 14th, 2010. If you need an important part, other then filters (and not always then), neither Napa, CarQuest or any of the others are gonna generally have the parts, less likely in stock, because the M-series vehicles were not built on civillian specs but to US Government blueprints and...

May 14th, 2010. You fellas up in Wisconsin are making all of us down here in Texas appreciate this state's approach to former military vehicles and regularly registered military vehicles..... I still say the letter that David Doyle turned up on CFR regs on the trusks (49 CFR 571.7(C)) only...

May 14th, 2010. Aximony: :-? Was it military? Or civillian. Do you mean the old "Scrambler" which was a stretched CJ-7? Or is it one of the towmotors one sees turn up on GL now and then?

May 14th, 2010. Excuse Me: Anyone on here ever suggest to you about looking at an S404,406,408 or U1300L Unimog? The 406 or 408 were sold in the US by Case, and they have the capability to operate many implements, and, if like the S.404's, there should be a auxillery transmission adaptor to...

May 12th, 2010. Melvinitis & Co: See thread on here about the "Game over in Alabama" about issues with registering an M35A3 there. Turns out David Doyle located for the man a copy of a letter from the head of the Federal NHTSA saying that all military vehicles are exempt from all compliance...

May 11th, 2010. When (or IF) I ever get back to work, I would be interested,depending on price, as my truck is a daily driver and the added safety of new brake lines would be grand.. Wish we could get him to engineer a split conversion kit for the master and airpack to convert to ESP...

May 11th, 2010. hendersonj: Who imported them, and how did they get them by the EPA/NHTSA issues.....????? It would be a very cool truck to own, a Vietnam clone without the 40 year old ailment issues..... I still say we need to get KIA involved more in the states.... Thanks..:beer:

May 11th, 2010. EWA Marine: + 1 vote for the 686A tan scheme/Desert Shield/Desert Storm. It won't blend in to the Hawaii tropic background, much easier to touch up, more current then MERDC 4 color or solid green as regards operational useage. Just my 2cents worth. My deuce in the...

May 11th, 2010. ABH3: MOnstrous Applause from this end.... THAT's THE WAY WE LIKE IT, UN HUH!!!! I agree with ABN173, though, give us old guys a break and cut the blue font out...PLEASE!!!! FERRO... Take note here as to how you handle the situation in SC! You guys in...

May 11th, 2010. Navy Redneck: Most bearing shops should be able to help you find the parts if you can either give them the numbers or let them look over & measure the bearings..... I might say that 70 MPH is a little excessive for a trailer designed for 45 MPH or lesser speeds. I suspect...

May 11th, 2010. Still, quite a rig both towing and being towed.... The Scammells always seemed more primitive then our 6X6's, but still a very capable design. I'm pretty sure the DOT in anys state in the US would have a heart attack with that set up....:jumpin:

May 11th, 2010. Mine got squirrelly like that before it quit..... Turned out it was the speedo cable was broken. When I replaced the cable with a NOS one from White Owl Parts, the new cable was smaller od and MFR dated 1967, but with a lubing & installing, they system works OK! Could...
