    3 Lever Light Switch Help Needed

    Yeah, I almost took the head off a student when I pulled a broken one apart a year or so ago just to see what was inside. Springs and contacts flying everywhere.

    REO film 1951 The Eager Beaver

    I am confused. How do we get or request a copy of reel #17 without being in DC?

    3 Lever Light Switch Help Needed

    Most of them break because people don't move the "lock" lever out of the way enough when moving the top switch. Little pieces start floating around in there and shorts start to happen. At least that is my experience. I got a box of about 10 3 levers from Sermis. 3 were good and the rest...

    M715 Brake Shoes

    I have never heard that. I do know that mid '80's Chevy C30 shoes are the same physical size as the M715 ones. A notch needs to be cut to make them work though. I am running the Chevy shoes on all 4 corners of my M715. Let us know what you end up with on the Goat.

    900-20 to 11-20's on a m34

    RE: I Ment to say M35 a2 !!!!!!!!! 11.00-20 tires will fit on the stock M35 rims just fine and the tires will fit under the stock M35 bed just fine too. Make sure your tubes are ok for 11.00 tires.

    M715 Brake Shoes

    Front line has them as well. Hang onto your old shoes because they are worth a lot more than you think as a core.

    Hmmm, Something just doesn't seem right

    Monday evening I was papering and taping all four glass parts for the M35 cab. While I was doing it, Colton and the dogs were running around me and Jennifer was talking to me some. Got a phone call or two as well. Tuesday evening I hung the windshield up from MIG wire and put the door glass...

    Hire a Huey?

    RE: Taking passengers for rides in a Huey Sermis, that is exactly the reason I don't mention aviation stuff when I am at your house. Way too close, your beverage of choice is normally in my truck and I normally have my little wagon with me too.

    Hire a Huey?

    Now Chris. I don't meet all of Mike's requirements. I know what they are, would know what I was looking at and have a burning desire to own one. But, I don't have the $$ to gt one home from Florida, much less pay the sale price. Funny you should mention me on this one. A plane went down...

    Correct Stop/Turn Bulb

    All the lights in the M35 are single contact. The 24V version of the 1156 is the correct bulb for the stop/blinker light. All of mine are at home right now so I don't have the number for you. If NAPA gives you a price higher than $3.00 or so per bulb, look at the normal auto parts places...

    alternator pulley removal?

    Work the trigger of the air impact gun too. You just want 2 or 3 round burst instead of full auto. If it still won't budge, try spraying some penetrating oil in there and also try going the other direction a burst or two. Once you get it moving, keep going on and off while lubing any...

    alternator pulley removal?

    I used a regular gear puller on mine. Came right off. By the way, the puller shaft is the same on the 25 amp generator as it is on the 60 amp alternator. That is how my alternator is wearing the generator pulley on my old Gasser right now. The nuts are way different sized, but the shaft is...

    Changing my windshield

    Be prepared for the 6 bolts holding the frame to the hinges to be rusted in place too. You might be better off to go find 6 3/8-24 bolts 1-1/2" long and paint them with the windshield frame now. Don't start turning the 8 bolts that hold the hinge to the cab because at least 1 of them will...

    M35 Windshield Glass Rubber Removal

    I used a carpet knife and a putty knife to get all the old rubber off last night. So, that part of the process is done. Colton has an activity every evening the rest of this week and an awards thing all day Saturday. So, it will be Sunday before I get to sand and paint if the weather is ok...

    M35 Windshield Glass Rubber Removal

    I have new rubber moulding to go around each front windshield glass. But, how do I get the old stuff out and the new stuff in without tearing the new stuff up? Thanks.

    Look! Door and a windshield frame

    Yes it is a Gasser. 1952 Yes, I put the hood latches on like they were when I picked the truck up. I might turn them over since the latches scratch themselves up everytime I lower the hood. I also figured out that the hood latches are different than the latches on top of the hood to hold the...

    Look! Door and a windshield frame

    I got the windshield frame painted and mounted on the truck Thursday night. Then had the painted drivers door on the truck Friday, but I couldn't get the outside handle to go all the way in. It is easier for me to work on something that isn't moving, so I pulled it back off the truck and took...
