January 8th, 2010. East Penn Mfg Co. makes DEKA batteries for the M35A2 that are "Ordnance" type batteries, they are alternate to the Exides Uncle is currently issueing and will not let us buy them. They run about $150 or so and it takes two. The Ordnance type batteries can accept fording...

January 8th, 2010. SWBradley & Co.: As it has been said above, "Welcome to the world of the self destructing sprag clutch". This is such a brilliant idea they either promoted the bird that came up with it AND gave he a huge pay raise, or they SHOT him!.:twisted: I have driven enough old...

January 8th, 2010. All this discussion is making me appreciate the simplicity of the unconverted M35A2 series truck and S404.114 Unimog that I own. The only worries I have is that neither truck's hydraulics are split, so that is the weak point in either system, having said that I have never...

January 8th, 2010. BARRMAN: I am guessing what you refer to as a "Dogbone" are the torsion bars top and bottom in the rear end that serve as control links in the walking beam or live spring suspension? There's a top and bottom set on the right and only a bottom set on the left...

January 7th, 2010. Snow is never a relaxing drive on pavement with an M35 shod with NDT/NDCC's and no chains..... As far as I take it, you notherners can keep it. My Unimog will handle about all I want it to with stock tires and no chains.... The deuce without chains would be a...

January 5th, 2010. EGAY under M35A2...... Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:-P

January 5th, 2010. Cheers, Faith and Begorra, Irishjeeper. If you're in Morgantown, you are either partying or one legs shorter then the other....:twisted:! I was born in Wheeling, lived in Wellsburg most of my life, then Harpers Ferry (Middleway,actually), then got exiled to Texas...

January 5th, 2010. tamangel: A very cool truck, I can't say I've seen many white ambulances, must've been USAF. Wish I was working, it's neat to see one with the interior fittings intact. The Canadians had an M151 version (I think) as a radio truck built by...

January 5th, 2010. Gentlemen: I have noticed an abscence of feedback from Mr. Hoodiegadoo, perhaps he has had a little too much reality from us for the weekend? Personally, I love having an M105A2 to be towed by the M35A2 in my icon. When the trailer brakes are cut out, you know that beast...

January 5th, 2010. Does anyone smell a suspicious deal here? Ryanhooker, I would be very careful of these HMMWV's, as there seems to be many flies in the ointment. Just my .02 worth, Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:-D

January 4th, 2010. It could be a Hotchkiss gun, built at the Watervielt or Rock Island Arsenals for support defense of the Endicott Batteries. Usually these critters are set into concrete blocks as war memorials, and often Uncle retains ownership of the tube...... There is one like yours at...

January 4th, 2010. hoodiegadoo: I think that your question has been answered here by other members. There was a modification done to the M105A3 trailers to fit them with government specified surge brakes to enable them to operate with the HMMWV's, which did not have air brake capability...

January 4th, 2010. hoodiegadoo: I read your post about your Wrangler not being stock, however, I must concur with the posts above..... Your Jeep is not up to the job of pulling an M105A2 empty, much less loaded, as the trailer runs at least 5500 lbs on the road or more. The deuce was...

January 4th, 2010: David Doyle in his book "Standard Catalog of Military Vehicles" has an excellent section in the appendixes on standard vehicle markings from WWII on, which I recommend highly to anyone wanting to know what markings should be on their truck or trailer. Admittedly different...

January 3rd, 2010. ken326@yahoo.com: (What a handle) You may want to go over your trucks brake system with a fine tooth comb as regards inspecting it for damage. The Air over Hydraulic system on a standard deuce isn't all that hard to operate when its set up right, and the split system...

January 3rd, 2009. joshgar8: Depends how cold its been where you are driving the deuce. If the air pressure on the gage has been staying between 90 and 100 or so pounds, and you haven't been getting a low air buzzer, I would say your compressor governors...

January 3rd, 2010. Barneyzoo: I'm sure that the guys that Will Wagners goes to for duece parts out your way should have a take out pulley, otherwise contact Boyce, Memphis or White Owl. If you can get the pulley off the compressor shaft, any good machine shop should be able to remanufacture...

January 3rd, 2010. Thanks Stretch 44875:-P! I don't own an M108, but if I get ahold of one at least I'll know something about running it. What was the lifting capacity of the crane, as I understand the Army finally figured out a deuce is almost too small to be much of a wrecker and thus...

January 3rd, 2010. Jarhead1086: I may not be as far north as you are, but if you can get a winter front for the M35A2 (they turn up on EBAy and Boyce probably has them out your way), the engine will run at its normal temperature (mine is about 179*F winter or summer)...

January 2nd, 2010. Check resources on here, article is titled "M35 Heater Installation", it will tell you everything you want to know about your stock cab heater. Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:-D
