Correct, Greenjeepster:
The air compressor on my M35A2 is a single cylinder unit whose unloading valve is controlled by the governor. When the system reaches shut off pressure the unloader opens so the compressor will not draw and compress air. When the system governor...

Wayne Harris, member on here, used to have some superior ex USAF extraction straps about 60' long used to jerk palleted cargo outta the back of C130's.... So far I have about accidentally pulled out a telephone pole using it to get a tangled up tractor unstuck. Seems like...

Just a pointer so I don't get in trouble with the moderators..... In "Saddam's Nightmare" the afore mentioned rack is known as a 3 flask diet Pepsi holder, one stuck between the braket and the dash, and two held in the clips, for really hot dusty missions here in...

Just based on what I've seen CTIS's do when they are outta wack. IF the compressor can keep up with the leak.....? Are the compressors that much larger then the A-2's? And isolate the section that's having trouble? You got 6 tires, from what I see, and I've never seen...

UpstateNYer:
Look on the classifieds here , EBAY, and also check with Saturn Surplus and White Owl Parts, as they should have the complete kits with blueprints, as there are also two brackets that go on the cab floor to catch the rifle butts.
Cheers...

My best guess for the reasoning on the EUC is that Uncle wants to be sure that unacceptable individuals or nations do not obtain our equipment, even if obsolete. I would also suspect the reasoning in the case of the M35 and 5 tons is that they...

My experience with K series Blazers is once the truck has been turned over like yours has, particularly with some speed involved, the frame is rarely sound enough to salvage, and if attempted it will never be "Right" again, leading to other problems down the road. The best...

Gents:
I drain them completely at the end of the day (unless frozen up) and several times daily in dry weather, more often in rainy and cold weather just to get the water out of the tanks.
NOW to throw the 24" adjustable into the converstaion.....:twisted...

Ken326@yahoo:
Given our druthers, I suppose a lot of us would be driving A-3's if we could afford to buy them. I saw one recently go up on GL in California with like 37 hours after total rebuild. I can bet I don't live in a rich enough neighborhood to buy that...

Its always an education around here..... I could never imagine anyone dragging an H-1, but I saw it here first! Must be something to have enough money to do that to a vehicle and then go out and basically abuse it doing things it was not designed for. Its a free...

Thanks G Force, but the August 2006 Parts book I have for the deuce shows on Page 227 Figure 226 the alcohol evaporator kit, as I always go to the hard manuals when I have them. PN 10937856 is listed as the kits P/N. For you gentlemen worried about pressure, the...

Curious, Curious, Curious. "Saddam's Nightmare" in the icon annexed is an M35A2 with the normally aspirated White LD-465 engine, the cast date on the engine is a matter of two weeks or so before the truck was originally built. Both front fenders have the holes for...

SRJEEPER and POOF:
Thanks for the insights, I'll go fishing at the local truck parts place, where they are absolutely terrified of the M35A2 because they can't hook it up to a computer......:twisted:.
I also will check the Classifieds and my friends over at White Owl. The...

Diesel Puller:
You just bought an A3 and yo're squawking about having to use diesel in the Cat???
The Cat 3116 would be an ill tempered and unreliable beast on heating oil, and I wouldn't even think of anything else other then Diesel or JP4/JP8. The Cat will...

Gents:
Well, besides the usual doesn't want to get up when its cold issues that "Saddam's Nightmare" starter solenoid and starter relay has, when it does start in the peculiarly unusual cold we're having, the air brake tank drains proceeds to freeze up...

It does seem to have a more slate blue green color to it then the standard Woodland green..... Wonder if that's due to weathering or original paint colors????

I had a friend that had the Canadian Army M151(?) radio truck conversion of the (M43)ambulance body, all built by Fargo in Canada, and speaking from experience, the door mounted spare tire rack was a PITA when you parked on the right side of the street (with traffic flow)...

If this thread were on paper, we would have cut enough trees down so Rolling_Eudamonia could navigate from Alaska to the Horn through clear cuts....:twisted:.
If he and his deuce survives the winter roads in Pittsburgh,Pa, where I believe he said he is going to school...

Looks live "E" Co. 11th Cavalry, US Army to me as the numbers on the bottom of the guidon are too close togather to be much else. Carefully sand the lefts side of the front bumper , you will find several layers of markings if this jeeop got repainted more then once. A...

Wouldn't the M211/M135 cargo covers be the same as the early M35's? Uncle is notorious back then for not changing anything he could avoid. The cab paulins will, of course be different, but you shouldn't be out more then $450.00 for labor plus yardage on the canvas. I had...
