April 17th, 2010. There is a reason for the reinforcing plate gents...... The dead weight of that ring and mount, along with it's height above the cab floor places tremendous strain on the back wall of the M35 cab. Without the reinforcement, my bet is a tear will start in either the...

April 16th, 2010. WPNS421: You might have a different dipstick then my 1971 Kaiser Jeep has, as it's engine is a White Multifuel and the dipstick reads from first bottom mark "ADD" ,"1","2","3","4", "5" and the top and last mark is "6". According to my 1970's M35A2 operator's...

April 5th, 2010. The Army managed to get a clean running diesel in the A-3 without a microprocessor? Most mechanics will tell you that on any piece of heavy machinery, sophistication = trouble in harsh operational environments. Ferro can chime in here if he wishes.... From my...

April 15th, 2010. Carl_in_NH: I would suggest checking the usual suspects for the roof bow and frames for the cab cover system, likely you will end up with a take off. White Owl Parts, Kinston, NC; Eastern Surplus, Philadelphia, PA; Memphis Equipment Co., Memphis, TN or Boyce Equipment...

April 15th, 2010. Gents: First I have to get an honest job, being unemployed is not all that it's cracked up to be..... BUT the diesel SEE's have to be at least as useful as the S404.114's plus the digging equipment. I had a 1500 LB dogbox to move this week (for a Saint Bernard with running...

April 14th, 2010. The Unimog SEE on EBAY sold this afternoon for $18,999.00! Looks like I'm gonna have to either have a rich relative croak and leave me their estate, or hit the lottery, nothing else is gonna get that kinda cash quick. I think a serviceable SEE would be fairly...

April 14th, 2010. MO MV MAN: WOW! I see your problem! :shock:The site has changed radically since I last dealt with GMA Cover Corp-US about two years ago! I would suggest hitting "Contact Us" on their site & filling the form out, and ask for current prices on "5 ton or 2-1/2 ton, two man...

April 14th, 2010. There is a turn valve on the vent inside the gas cap used in deep water fording operations, look to see if it is in the "Closed" position. If so move it to the "Open" position and make sure the vent hole IS open. This would cause a vacuum lock if the tank can't breathe, but...

April 14th, 2010. thordehr: You will not have any problems carrying the 4X4 in the deuce on roads unless it is over 10,000lbs,cross country limit is 5,000 lbs. The question is, will California let you haul anything with Historical Plates? Probably not. The option...

April 14th, 2010. I believe that the unit in the OP above is a US WWII half track, and that the "tracks" are rubber moulded around two steel cables. What is happening is with age the tracks are finally breaking down mechanically and physically. The Israeli Army made the last tracks for...

April 13th, 2010. Aximony: If you were in North East Texas I would be pleased to take you for a ride in the S404.114. Not a lot of speed, not much in brute power, but rarely ever stuck, and it rides and handles good. The only problem my S404.114 has given me is from bad gasoline, a common...

April 13th, 2010. MO MV MAN: GMA's web site! Or ANY GL SALE..... 2cents Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:grin:

April 13th, 2010. Aximoney: The Unimogs are much more stable then most civillian cars and trucks, don't let their high stance fool you, check YouTube and the Wikipedia article on the Unimog.... The S404 and U1300L's are essentially cab over trucks, so they are limited in the width and size...

April 13th, 2010. Just bid the Unimog SEE on EBAY, you'll not only have the backhoe, but a front end loader also (and chainsaw, and jackhammer and saw....all hydraulically driven)..... Personally, I thought Case had a pretty good thing in that 406 or 408 Unimog derivative, and I hear a lot...

April 13th, 2010. The German Army S404's used a Uniroyal 10.5R20 MPT load range "D" that has some excellent off road characteristics. Unfortunately it is like a landscape tire on a farm tractor, untill it wears the corners off the blocks you can feel every one of them hitting the...

April 13th, 2010. I'll back Kenny's statement above about the third seat belt. There is a modification set listed in the parts books for the M35 series that lists the center or third person seat belt and the modified anchor brackets That hook to the back cab wall supports as part of the...

April 12th, 2010. DoD also keeps tabs on the Civil War cannon on courthouse lawns and in cemetaries, very few have escaped legitimately into civillian hands...... I bet they keep tabs on the Tanks, APC and Field artillery from WWII to today....... At least the Swiss Army seems inclined...

April 12th, 2010. Could be the high speed jet in the carburettor is fouled,if your ignition's OK likely its fuel, and if the fuel system is clean(??) then it's the carb. The high speed jets on these often foul when they are not run at high speed frequently enough. Modern gas has a...

April 12th, 2010. Maddawg308: Like our esteemed friends up above have said, the sill spacer gives the bed a chance to flex a little without being metal on metal. The more modern materials might work OK, but why argue with success? The Unimog has a great deal more...

April 11th, 2010. Scrappy J: Good luck on the UAZ, it should cause some comments when or if you get it stateside.....:drool: Dos Vidonia, comrade!:beer: NB: Thanks, Victor, I can't read cyrillic so I was trying to remember it phonetically in English. Besides, most of the Russian I did learn...
