At last! I understand!

Also, can someone explain to me why my truck has manual lock out hubs on the front wheels? Don’t they serve the same purpose as the “front axle engage” switch on the dash? They seem extemporaneous. What am I missing?

Im on it! I’ll be down there this week!

You know, looking more closely, I believe you’re right about the braces above and below, attached with U bolts. I hadn’t really thought about it, but that makes a lot of sense. I don’t have any better pics at present, but when I head down there this week, I’ll pay much more attention to that...

These are the holes drilled in the frame on mine. They’re horizontal, and on both sides.

Hi! First of all, nice to meet you! Second, thanks for joining in! As for the crane, it certainly looks intact, with everything lying in the bed (see previous photo, somewhere in the thread). It’s complete, in two parts… crane and brace. As for my truck, I can see the holes drilled into the...

they’re out there. Look for PK5800.

Ah HA! it has been done with the crane. It took some searching.

That’s what I’m beginning to figure. With those PTOs, anything is possible. Thanks for the reply. 👍

So… the PTOs. Does anyone have any experience in using these with external equipment? I’m looking for experiences people have had. Snow plows? Construction equipment? Etc.

Maybe I’ll just write the book myself!

I’ve seen those- I was just curious if some author had published a book that kind of oversees and addresses the whole picture.

Guys, is there an M35 “bible” out there? You know- a book on owning and maintaining this truck?

Gentlemen: it works. I threaded a standard air attachment onto the port, hooked up a standard hose and aired up the tire. No problems whatsoever. I now have a portable, drivable air compressor. 😉

That looks like the original air outlet, with a new gate valves for the hose attachment. The original gate valve is much more rudimentary, but works. He removed the original gate valve, it would appear.

My position is that the under dash air outlet is NOT a drain, as that would be unnecessary, because of the drains on the tanks. I still believe it was a dedicated air valve for simple tasks like airing up tires, etc. I mean, it has a gate valve for on/off, and a screw cap to keep it sealed...

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that air outlet is there for the exact reason I need it. I just need to plumb a few parts to make things fit. incidentally, here is a pic from my dad when he was in Japan in the early-mid 50s. Anyone recognize these trucks?

Here it is.

I’m going to have to find a pic. My truck has a dedicated air port under the glove box on the firewall, inside the cab, that is DESIGNED to give air access for minor duties, such as airing a tire. I believe it’s actually in the manual. I’ll look. It is also my understanding that this was...

Thanks for the reply on the brake! Much appreciated! 👍 The air port I’m referring to is the one on the firewall under the dash (passenger side). I have a slow leak in the front right tire, and long story short, I want to use the port to air up the tire. I need 50 psi. The port is a machine...
