December 27th, 2009. Gentlemen: I am looking for the 6 springs and four bolts(?) used to hold the two bottom flaps or ears and the two side flaps (on the front of the hood) to the deuce. I have a serviceable winter front, but I have been unable to locate the springs...

December 27th, 2009. Trudge: IMHO I would suggest staying within the design limits of the engine, as the stock LD465 NA ran about 130 and the Turbo'd versions 180 HP, and it is pretty doubtfull that the engine could stand 200HP for long. Besides which, the defining limits are what the...

December 27th, 2009. Retiredtoy and Company: I concur with Doghead above, there is quite enough bad information here to boggle the mind. Technically, most older diesels had some multifuel capability, but the LD 465 variants in the M35A2's were most generally seen with the Hypercycle heads...

December 27th, 2009. Why Jump? If in doubt, most deuces with operative fuel systems do really well on a pull start with a 40 to 60' chain or extraction strap. That way you don't have to worry about frying anything, just running over your tow vehicle if you're not...

December 25th, 2009. SUREWRITING: Merry Christmas! Is the Unimog by any chance a Swiss S404.114? I happen to have a 1963 Swiss that has the last SN 8446 and 8443 is over at The Mog Shop in Dallas, Texas. Spend the $150 on the english shop manual, it'll cover everything EXCEPT the axles...

December 25th, 2009. What a Christmas Present!:twisted: Holy Smoke, Backman, there's a house behind this guy's truck.... Which is why I never back the deuce up without seeing whats behind me an putting a marker down so when the center of the drivers door lines up with it... I gotta couple of...

December 23rd, 2009. Longhorn789: I will confirm what has been said above by several of our members. I bought a M35A2 from one of our members who advertised it on EBAY, and he did me a fairly good deal for what the truck was sold then for. It ended up needing cargo bed bows and cover...

December 23rd, 2009. In Texas try Nationwide Mutual- Colonial Insurance for the M35A2. My M35A2 is insured through them as a private truck, no restrictions on use, and it costs less then my wife's 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. They also insure my S404.114 Unimog, ditto. I do believe they...

December 22nd, 2009. 65Deuce49: Referencing DABTL's comment. My M35A2 "Saddam's Nightmare" suffers the same starting problem, 32*F it will crank, 31"F it won't crank untill it reaches 32*F! There are two switches in the starter solenoid, one cranks the motor, the other engages the...

December 22nd, 2009. Cranetruck: The dreaded 8 wheel sideways slide got you, always exciting when you are in a truck large enough to remove anything short of a redwood...... The last really good snows down your way should have been 1996 or so.... If you really want to try uncontrolability in...

December 22nd, 2009. RMGILL: Congratulations on the tank car pull.... Figure rolling resistance and 4 to 6 lbs per ton on level track-roller bearings and warm temperatures(?), probably not pulling 400 lbs rolling resistance. I used to move a 47,000 LB Nickle Plate Road...

December 21st, 2009. Gunboy1656. Nice variation on the old engine stop lock system. I have seen them done as a "U" shapped strap that slips over the engine stop cable collar, with the lock passing through two holes in the exterior end of the U's legs and set to lock the stop full...

December 20th, 2009. Airmech3839: Sorry to hear your deuce conked out on you, and I'm glad you were able to get her moving again. While these engines are called "Multifuels", they seem happier on diesel and petroleum based fuels, as the alternatives were to get them out of a post...

December 19th, 2009. GET it off the ground and a coat of Rustoleaum damp proof red primer on it....! These critters are worth something more then just rusting away in the woods.... Besides, the taxes on one of these can't be all that high. Those were like the Chevy Carryalls of the...

December 18th, 2009. Unimogs come with under bed tools boxes (2), so that where their chains get stowed. I would suggest sewing up heavy OD canvas bags, 1 per wheel chain, and stash them in the cab under the passengers seat, but you could always get a steel toolbox and mount it under the...

December 18th, 2009. Gents: Warthog:(Thanks for the Photos, they are most usefull): Thanks for the photos and the measurements. I can't say what the laws are in other states, and fortunately my deuce has hazard lights, which most do not (older ones), but depending on where I move next...

December 18th, 2009. Dear GLCAINES and 73m819. Thanks for the input when you can get them for me, I can extrapolate the mast height as it has to clear the cargo cover in the up position. The local mechanic who worked at Red River Army Depot says that they fabricated them when they needed...

December 18th, 2009. :-D GENTS: It's a year later, I'm a year older and probably not much wiser, and could any of our members who have convoy lights miounted on GI masts behind the cab get me the outside and inside OD of the bottom half of the mast + it's height, and the top part of the...

December 18th, 2009. BIGNICK: The M35A2 annexed as my Icon is "Saddam's Nightmare" a 1971 Kaiser Jeep M35A2Wo/W and it is in the Desert Shield/Desert Storm paint, 686A Tan with Dark Brown wheel centers. When I got her from BulldogMack13, she had a mixtuire of black, green and brown wheel...

December 17th, 2009. Dear TM America: Obviously you have not driven a Unimog lately....... Gutless is just about any American or Japanese built SUV, and they make much better chocks. Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:twisted:
