March 14th, 2010. Keep us posted please! I'm way too far west now to be of use, but I am certain that there are others of us along his route that may be of use. The old 12" PITA driveshaft bolts can make your life sheer H--L in the cab for noise if they are slightly loose, and really...

March 14th, 2010. Keep an eye out on Ebay, you can get the head bolt wrenches for the deuce on there, often for cheap!:razz: Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:)

March 14th, 2010. -10's are the military's published operator's manuals for the piece of equipment being discussed. There may be a digitalzed set of manuals on here for the M35A3's (look under "resources" above), if not, see if Wayne Harris (member on here) could help you out as he seems to...

March 14th, 2010. Man, I've got to add a wrecker to my "To be acquired" equipment list! How much more capable is a 5 ton wrecker versus the deuce mounted units? Good lift, Gimpy[thumbzup] Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:)

March 13th, 2010. [thumbzup] for bailing out a member in trouble! Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:D

March 13th, 2010. Paulob1: :beer: Congratulations on joing us Yank truck owners, you will find a tremendous source of knowledge on here and some pretty good leads. I can't say where you'd find a PTO shaft for your truck in England or Europe, though I am...

March 11th, 2010. "More Taste!!!:razz: Less Filling!!! :beer:" Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:?

March 10th, 2010. Coalcracker: Good to hear you handled the run away throttle in an approved manner....[thumbzup] So much for Peterbuilt's, I guess his Viagra was kicking in...! Now we have one more thing to check on the trucks... Everything ages, including cotter keys. hope...

March 8th, 2010. Stumps: You only got 150,000 miles on a civillian pickup truck? What, man, were you doing to it!?! I know that some of you gentlemen are coming from a very different background then I am, as I can only speak to you as a man who has operated 170 to 95 year old...

March 8th, 2010. :ditto:on the spring shop. Most can make anys size you need, and it is not recommended to reapply the old U bolts ever, as they have already taken their first and only set when originally applied. Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan[thumbzup]

March 08, 2010. EMR & Co: Check a heavy duty equipment or truck radiator rebuild shop, often they can recore with equivalent or heavier capacity cores for less then buying new.... More then for a takeout, but then one really never knows how old or hard used the takeout was or is. The...

March 8th, 2010. Two words, my sons, for true off road capability "MONEY" "UNIMOG". Even an M35A2 can be made off road capable with the right lockers applied to the axles, but welding the spiders would seem to be a terminal method...expensive to reverse and God help the man who runs it on...

March 8th, 2010. Jimm1009: I know you are worried about your deuces engine, but consider how old the design was (and is), how much abuse and use it had before you got it, and how much better a lot of our lubricants are now compared to the 1940's and 1950's (much less then farther back, image...

March 08th, 2010. Just weighing in. Maddawg308 has it quite right, the Unimog WAS designed originally as a multipurpose farm tractor, hence the German name for it of "Universal Motor Gerat", which gave it the anacronym of "Unimog". I still will say that the U1300L's/S404's and later...

March 8th, 2010. :ditto: The site you copied was excellent, it's just that some of us are computer challenged, especially with the odd colors. Now that you mention it, I'm not sure what blackout lighting arrangements the M880 series had, though I would suspect it would be like the M715 and...

March 8th, 2010. Unfortunately, that is the way a lot of good military surplus trucks get treated in the governmental world. I have seen two good M37's and one really good M715 get beat to death, and ultimately the M715 and one M37 got rolled at a county park and scrapped on site...

:driver:March 7th, 2010. :?! Why would one mess with the front wheel hubs at all when flipping the rears???? I was under the impression the reason that most of us flip the rears in super singling them, is to get the front wheel and rear wheel tracks to line up???? Did I miss something here? I...

March 07th, 2010. IBID 79Driver above. When I brought my trucks to Texas in 2007, I did not know the regulations, so I got stuck with truck plates on the M35A2 and the Unimog. The Unimog has a license bracket incorporated into the left rear taillight with a white lense like American pickups...
