Getting ready to go into winter, and was curious your guys input regarding moisture/air brake antifreeze in a m35A2. Will the air brake line antifreeze bother the air pak? Is there a specific spot that it is best added? Working formerly as a mechanic I've rebuilt quite a few heavy truck air...

Is this a feature unique to the Canadian g749? Roughly what year was it added, and also I was curious how long the g749 was manufactured in Canada? Was the speedos in km/h or mi/h? See there I'm full of questions today

So on page #3 there is a candian parts truck, with pictures of the dash...There is a convoy light switch. Anyone have any idea what the convoy light is?

Hopefully your canoe ride didn't turn into a white water rafting trip in a canoe! Did you get that I/C into Goose?

Very neat history Plowboy thanks for sharing.

While it's nice to have a downloadable version on the web , i can see I'll need to get a hard copy. I prefer the pages in hand to slip through....

Plowboy, This is my understanding of the schematic...The molded splice is fed from #27 wire, which is switched battery voltage-i.e. when the ignition is off no voltage, and when it is on, voltage is supplied to all the gauges-temp, fuel, brake air, oil press through the molded plug-i didnt know...

do you have a better pic of the schematic or what tm is it in that i can download

First thing I have to do is get 2&3 Pistons out without damaging them, then I go from there. I don't necessarily need to overhaul it, but want to have whatever I do be a permanent fix. Especially not knowing the condition of the rest of the truck, it be nice to not get too much tied up in the enginr

No, the pics tell the truth, unfortunately. Why was the engine in need of a valve job? My thoughts/advice, I would pull the head back off if all the valve train is already off the engine. Id double check the condition of everything and then re-install. I would hate to see you re assemble...

Got the head torn off today. Much of the engine looks freshly worked on. Cylinder 2&3 are looking pretty ugly. Now what to do next, is the question. I was hoping to know how well everything else on this truck ran before having to go through the engine. Not sure my next step, but will look at it...

I'm betting you could have a few more takers on your proposition

I may need some bows, we'll see how good the ones are that I have. Definitely post some pics. I've always thought was neat.

Merle, nice looking beast. Wish I'd have known you were that close, we drove through Georgetown lake here about a month ago. We'll have to get together sometime. Nice to see another truck in the Northwest. So what parts are you looking for? -carb military dist, anything else? Might have a lead...

Merle, sounds great! Come up anytime. Are you sure you don't want some white stuff. First storm of the year and I'm a heating contractor, so things get a little intense. I actually don't mind the snow, hate the urgency of heat! Get some pics of that truck. We we do have some new enthusiasts...

Mother Nature decided last night to make it a challenge. As mr will anderson from the movie 'the Cowboys' said, "summer's over."

It's been kind of slow making progress on the old m211. Pulled the lower pan and can see rust in #3 cylinder. The rest look good. Got tired of driving back and forth, so the troops and I moved it up to the shop. We discovered that it's a two woman job to steer a truck that is being pulled! Looks...

The seizing of the 302 is something that still draws my curosity...I've got other engines that have sat for years without issue. Oh well, looks to be a fact of life. Nice work, I'm sure it gets to be a chore as the corral fill up. digging the stubby wrench-when I turned wrenches for a living...

Yeah and if the molasses doesn't free it up, at least you'll feel like eating it. I've never tried evap o rust that gimpy Robb was talking about, but have tried seafoam, atf, atf and laquer thinner, mystery marvel. I need to yank the head and see what's going on. Nice to see that lifting eye on...

good to know plowboy. The one I've got is seized tighter than tight and it only been a few years since it ran-supposedly It seems as though these were common to seize up, more so than most I have worked on. Is it cause the exhaust is open to the elements, do you have an explanation? Wouldn't...
