    M35A2 Fan Shroud Separating From Radiator

    UPDATE: While removing the radiator from the truck, I accidentally hit it up against the safety catch for the winch. I kind of created a leak! OOPs. So I took it up to the local radiator shop. They fixed the leak and resoldered the shroud. They also flushed and repainted it too! Not bad for...

    M37 made it to it's new home

    WOW! Nice machine! Can't find anything like that around here. Everything sitting in an outside back lot is usually a pile of rust in the dirt. Take good care of that piece of history!

    M35 multifuel oil filter?

    When I first got my Deuce, that looked like the kind of filters that came with the truck. Since changed to spin ons. A lot cheaper and plentiful.

    Military vehicles at car shows

    Entered a show last year with my Deuce. We had a really good time. It was funny, we got edged out of the running for first place in special interest by a kids pedal car! That's alright, didn't go there for any trophy anyways. It's the looks you get from the other car owners that I enjoy...

    Total brake failure during a panic stop

    I had a front metal brake line let go on me. Fortunately I was still in the barn doing my pretrip inspection. Lots of spraying dot 5! Easy fix, took about an hour with bleeding the system.

    Welcome from Ohio! In regards to your air leak, I would change the glad hand if it's leaking from there. If that doesn't work, get a spray bottle with soapy water, air up the system and spray the mixture on all the connections. Like finding a leak in a tire. Good luck with your project

    Starter warm-up?

    I would start with the connections going from the battery to the starter. Could be a little bit of corrosion on the connections at the starter. But if you're on here, you probably checked that already.

    Painting my m35a2 think the color is off.

    Ain't that the truth! HOA's don't like to have any fun!

    Painting my m35a2 think the color is off.

    It also matters where you store or park the truck. If it sits outside all the time, the paint will weather and fade quicker than parked in a garage or barn.

    Painting my m35a2 think the color is off.

    I used Rapco 383, rust o leum primer and harbor freight hvlp gun. And lots of wet sanding! Rims were painted same, just a bit later.
