I would suggest the solid state military version of the blinkers for simplicity, available parts and the right "look."
If you really want to use the old milti wired box, go to the M715Zone and look in the manual section. There is a guy that completely redid one of the old boxes, figured out...
Just get a duck billed hammer. Get the fiberglass handle model. I have gone through two of the wood handles now. Probably 6 tires broken down on the first one learning and probably 30 tires on the second handle. It just takes one wrong swing to break the wood handle though. NAPA has them as...
"Slide #131
As you can see class, I have ignored the answer given to my original question yet again and replied with a different arguement altogether. Notice how new posters keep showing up to tell me the correct answer? Then I just change the subject again to confuse them."
Are you sure...
Yeah, I don't know the deal with OK. All 4 of the trucks we pick up there had less than 10 in each tire. Using a M35 for air, it took almost 3 hours to get all 44 tires up to 30. Going to 50 would have taken too long.
It is probably because the trucks have just been sitting for a long time.
Does the shifter have to really be pushed to get to reverse and never really feel right? DO you have the air shift t-case or the older Sprag type?
The non air shift t-case has to know which direction the truck is going. If you by chance were sitting at a stop sign in 1st, let off the brake...
I already unloaded all the barrels, I am not throwing them back up, so I don't know the standing up answer. However, just going by size. 3 across left to right is all that will fit in a line. They can be staggered to get 4. Each barrel takes just a hair less than 2 feel diameter. That gives...
Chris, Gimpyrob has the best place to buy it price wise that I have found. See his thread about his M725 build on the Zone or my thread about it on the Zone as well. He list out the contact info.
The little adaptor I built really takes up room under the truck. It clears the floor ok, but...
I needed more 55 gallon drums for my on going WMO works. Kwai wanted some barrels as well since I was making a run. I had no clue how many drums would fit in the bed of a M35, but I planned to buy up to 20 of them. Turns out that 28 will fit in the bed and barely be above the troop seats...
Is it just the front lights that aren't working on the right or both front and back?
As pointed out, the hi and low beams leave the dimmer switch on a single wire for each. They split off about where the steering box is to go their own way. If it is just a front problem, I would start by...
Try hitting it down on each side. 3 whacks on the left, 3 whacks on the right. Once it moves a little, it will move all you want. Baseball type swings to the ring itself trying to knock it off just seem to make my arms and back hurt. They are fun the first few times however so you have to do...
I don't know how to put this nicely. Are we some kind of class project you are doing for your philosophy degree?
I ask this because you ask a question, we answer it. You don't like the answer so you argue back. You get the same answer again. You still don't like it so you argue again. I...
I agree. Leave the door on the truck if it is rust free and fix the window/latch mechanism. It isn't that tough. I went through 4 sets of used hinges before I found a set that I could actually get apart and put back together again. Plus the broken screws that RJ wrote about.
Here are some pictures. I am not sure if you want pictures of the doors or seats, so I put in both. I will have to take some of the seats from inside once I get home this weekend.
Thanks Lanty. I have an alignment machine here in my class. We are just not building the truck on the machine. That is why I was looking for pinion angle. the plan was to slap an inclinometer on the yoke, rotate to the correct angle with the perches just sitting on the tubes and the u-bolts...
I am putting a set of CUCV axles under a M715. The M715 belongs to Sermis and the axles belonged to another member. He had them under a M715 but had severe shimmy and drivability issues with them. He also moved the front leaf springs to under the frame instead of outboard like the M715 is...
Weeks the first time we fired it up, but didn't pay attention to the air/oil psi build times. We just made sure it had oil psi. The oil psi had the normal lag to build after starting.
When I called you last Friday, I had just left his house. He fired it up so Jennifer could hear the...
I only have 2 cylinder models. One of the trucks Sermis got from Wart Hog has a single on it. The buzzer for the air turns off just a second or two after the oil psi comes up when that truck is started cold. Lots more air in that case than a 2 cylinder.
Oh, there was also a water cooled...
