Set up housekeeping ****, it'll be my hearse...

Of Course... ..., now why didn't I come up with that solution. Greenjeepster, you're a genius, in spite of what everybody else says...

I just won this: http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/551711?h=4-22%2F6-22&reloadCode=close,551711,1426694981267 Now what in the **** do I do? ****... Mark

Got 3 of my 11 weather rotted 9.00x20 NDT's replaced yesterday, both up fronts and one rear inner. If you ever need tire work done while passing through the Central Texas area (Waco/Bellmead), I strongly recommend Lone Star Tire, located at I-35 and Hwy 77. Their open 7 days a week and will...

A few things that I need answers for regarding my M185A3: 1. Has anybody built one of the Canadian cab racks as shown in the TM's for the M35? If so, was it worth the cost of materials and labor and did it fit without resorting to 'adjustments' with the sledgehammer? 2. What would cause my air...

Can anybody provide me with a clear pix of the M185A3 dataplate? Mine's not readable in several areas and I wanted to send dataplates.net a shot of what the missing areas say for his repro. Thanks... Mark

Nope, it's not the tach cable. Got a better look at it this afternoon and traced it from the lower front engine area to the firewall to where it terminates under the dash. Turns out it's an air line that runs into the front wheel drive switch to engage the front diff. It's a relief that it...

Installed new (and readable) data plates, new ANCO 41-01 wiper arms and ANCO 31-13 wiper blades and a new brake fluid reservoir. Also discovered that the 1/2"-5/8" water(?) line that runs from the bottom front of the engine, up over the top of the engine and into the firewall has been rubbing on...

When the rain finally stopped, I got motivated and changed the oil and while I was at it, I installed Westfolk's spin-on oil filter adapters. Simple installation and no more screwing around with those **** canisters. Next weekend, weather permitting, on goes Westfolk's primary and secondary...

The holiday breaks gave me enough time to scrounge thru, unload and work my way to the bottom of the pile of NOS parts that I negotiated for when I bought my former M109A3/current M185A3 truck. So today I'm down to the bottom of the stack with only 5 rims with shot transport tires, a rusty...

The truck's data plate will have the capacities, year of manufacture and VIN...

Not really knowing what to look for to differentiate between a M109A3 and a M185A3 prior to purchasing my truck, and which the past owner(s) weren't aware of either obviously, as the truck was always titled and advertised as an M109A4, it wasn't until I checked the data plate upon receiving the...

The boarding ladder is located in Eldred, PA, which I understand is WAY up in Yankee country...

Thanks for the direction to the correct TM doghead...

That's exactly what I thought that I'd do, IF it ever stops raining here. I'm kinda surprised that when the truck was rebuilt in '89 that Uncle Sucker didn't replace the old style assembly with the new assembly, as it seems that there is LOTS of the new style parts and pieces around but I've yet...

You'd think being located as close to Ft. Hood as I am that the area would be overflowing with spares. Not the case, me thinks lots of it heads down old Mexico way. Let me know where your headed next and I'll try to find something along your route. Anybody else needing **** reliable person to...

I've located a M185A3 boarding ladder in PA and need it delivered to Central TX. Anybody making the trip and how much to pick up and deliver? Thanks... Mark

I've located 4 mounted 9.00x20 tires in Jacksonville, FL that I need delivered to Central TX. Anybody making that trip anytime soon and what would you charge to pick them up and deliver? Thanks... Mark

Attached are pictures of the parking/emergency brake handle on my '66 M185A3. After reading prior posts on the forum, I'm thinking that this handle is the "early" style. What I'm not sure of is if there anything missing from it, like a cylindrical adjusting cover over the cable stem and bolt...

Yesterday I installed locking door handles on my M185A3 cab. Unfortunately they were stamped "China" on the underside, so the Chi-Coms are into producing M35 parts too I guess. I also installed a block heater per Westfolk's Youtube video. Finally I installed tach and speedo warning decals...
