    WWII Quad .50 trailer pics

    What was the drive on these mounts Jason? Are they electric or electric/hydraulic or?? It is completely electric. It runs off of a electric motor (like a jeep starter motor but smaller. The motor is surrounded by gears, pulleys, and clutches. You cannot believe that it all runs from this one...

    Max towing capacity of a M35?

    I talked to a state trooper and we both have the understanding that as long as I am "not for hire", pulling the trailer with the 5 ton tractor is not illegal, so no worries there. I see that several have posted about a legality concern. He said as long as it was for personal use "like a RV I...

    Max towing capacity of a M35?

    My 5 ton tractor pulls it no problem. Runs about 55 mph on flat open road, however, if you catch a hill it slows done it little unless you are already coming done from another hill. The trailer and the 5 ton tractor is a good combo. That trailer being that size stops you from overloading the...

    M211 tranny in M35

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the Army experimented with putting the auto tranny from the M135/211 trucks in the M35? If so, was this a direct bolt-up? I am toying around the idea of doing this modification if it doesn't involve making a special adapter to the multifuel motor. Wouldn't...

    Electric wiper motors?

    I notice just about all the new M series vehicles have electric type wiper motors instead of air. Has anyone converted or found a military looking electric replacement for their deuce windshield wiper motors? Pictures of s setup would be great if someone has already done the conversion.
