Hey guys got a question. I know it's not a M35a2 truck but..
We have a M52A2 with the LDS mutifuel engine
Few days ago it started and went right to max red line rpms for 5 secs then died and it won't start up again. 2 weeks before it started just great
So what should we look at?
Some...
Started to replace the front fenders and flip the head lights.
Reason why the front fenders because a person hit it with a forklift.
oh wells had extras ,stripped and primed and painted also new rubber spacer and anti squeak strips.
Got the cable spooled up on winch today.
Note yes I know the paints look different but they're not that's what the sun's does to paint out in Las Vegas.

More to come grill and front fenders are next and to flip the headlights.

The winch was from a 1952 gasser M35 from reo. My M275 happens to be a 1951from reo I thought about putting the later knob on the drum lock but I seen nothing wrong with it. So I keeped it. I seen later winches also have 3 data plates on the top plate. So I keeped the original 2 top data plate...
Specal thanks to white owl for the big cover gasket and other stuff
and Memphis equipment for the brake parts
drag brake pad, brake band, and drum lock pin,
and big mikes for having the socket cable clevis.
Updaye #2
Spent the last few days rebuilding the winch
Found some rust issues
Looks like nobody before me took care of this no oil on both sides,
So some cleaning and seal and new brake parts shes all back together.
