Just picked up my M35a2c from Sparta Wisconsin yesterday. Mike the site mgr from Government Liquidation is a really nice guy and was really helpful. He started my truck up for me a week ago and let me know that the brake pedal went to the floor. We came prepared with a new master cylinder...
We are picking up our M35a2c in Wisconsin on Thursday and the site mgr said the pedal falls to the floor. It could just be low brake fluid but I want to install a new master and bleed the brakes to be on the safe side. We have replaced two of the master cylinders in our 5 tons and it's an easy...

If the above link doesn't work go to clarktruck.com and click on M818. There is a picture of a nice looking tan M818 with 1400's.
We are picking up 1600's on Thursday for our M818's. From what we have read the 52's...
If anybody is parting out a truck I need the attached picture of the seat bracket for the passenger seat. The drivers seat is a spring ride. Shoot me a PM with price or list your price below. Thanks for your help,
Andy
thanks!
Ok, the order of wheels has been placed. I'm picking up an M35 in Sparta in a few weeks when my EUC clears and Rodney is going to meet me at the base. I'll load the M35 up with as many wheels that we can cram in the bed and ratchet down. I'll make sure to eat a good meal before...
We are looking to purchase some 1600x20 tires from Rodney Feltz who lists on Ebay motors, he's based out of WI. The tires are on Hemmt wheels. We are looking to mount them on one of our M818's and changing out M812 over to the singles. He mentioned the trucks Oshkosh Sales sets up use the...
Nice looking trucks!
Nice looking trucks!! Good to hear you had a safe trip. I hope I'm able to drive trucks at 84 years old like your Uncle John!

unknown
I bought an M818 tractor in Iowa with an unknown running condition. The truck had bad batteries, I mean DEAD. I brought some batteries out of our bridge truck to swap just incase we needed them. Truck started right up and runs great. The brake pedal went all of the way to the floor...
Thanks
Thanks for the responses. I'll just pick up the 1/2" and 3/4" to be safe. I'll just return what I don't use! If it is light enought outside I'll try to snap some pictures.

The trailer below is in route back to a loading dock pickup in the town I live in. The truck driver just called and said when GL was loading the trailer the glad hands were damaged on the front of the trailer. He was thinking they are normal 1/2" thread pipe glad hands. Is this correct? I...
ughhh
Who specs out the trucks for the military. I wonder if they ever called on a fleet thant ran IHC 7400's in any number and asked them about their downtime/life cycle costs. The IHC 7400's in the industry that I work have not worked very well to be nice. From the electrical gremlins with...
Singles!!!!!!!!!!
I'd say go with the singles. The duals on a short wheelbase look kind of goofy to me almost as if it was a circus truck made to do front wheel stands (kind of like short box dually pickups). The singles make the truck look alot stouter in my opinion-
Either way you go the...
oil cooler
Mike,
We took off our oil cooler about 10 months ago on our NHC250 in our M812. It was clocked wrong by the military at some point causing a restriction which wouldn't allow the oil pressure to build up as the RPM's increase. Let me see what I can find for you as I have the info...
hotel and prom
Southdave- You wouldn't want to see my prom picture. I took my 1970 M35 to prom and I have a picture of my date sitting on the fender. When everybody was getting out of limo's I dropped my date off and then hammered through the gears to leave a nice cloud. All thumbs up from...
