RE: Re: RE: It Worked! I just had another thought on loading the frozen wheel truck. (I am going to try everything I can to make them turn, but) If they do or don't turn, either way I am going to have to get the truck on the trailer. Wheels spinning will probably make it ok for my M715 to...

Now I have to ask. How Much?

Both of my 1951 M35's have no gauge panel. I saw a picture of a Gasser panel the other day in a thread about a fire truck somebody just bought. Other than that, I have never seen one. Besides not having a tach, are they the same gauges as the A2? What about size, will an A2 panel screw...

Chris, I found 3 or 4 chains in the tool box of one of my new M35's. This is the truck with the 9.00 wheels. Once I get the other truck home that has the 11.00 rims, I will figure out what all I have and what they fit. I would like to end up with the 11.00 tires on the one I build. Give me...

RE: Re: RE: It Worked! We had to go just under 40 miles. I had 2 stock M715 230 engines in the bed, a T-98 transmission, both clutches and bellhousings, a full cooler, 4 M35 rear axle shafts and a bunch of tools in the bed of my M715. It still wasn't enough. Uphill or on flat stretches...

Kenneth, that is a great idea. The truck I got home has all new brake parts. Drums, shoes, springs, wheel cylinders. Well, they were new when they were put on the truck 25 years ago and never run. Anyway, I don't care about the drums or internals lasting on the truck still in the field. I...

My M715 pulled one of the two M35's home Sunday. Here is a picture of the set up at the end of the 40 mile drive. I did a write up on the Zone about it. If you want to read the entire story, you can use this...

Chris, where is the picture from downtown so we can see how good your urban camo works? Cangratulations too!

My mistake on the voltage. I knew about the dual system but just kept thinking 24V. sorry about any confusion.

I will jump in with the 4th or 5th opinion. The military rims are 2 piece locking rims. The bad press was all directed toward mostly 2 pc split rims. There is a huge difference. For our rims to hurt you, the entire bead of the tire needs to be about 1-1/2" toward the middle of the rim on the...

Great!

Just thougt up somemore. Are the brake wheel cylinders, shoes, drums, backing plates and flexible hoses the same between the M35 and the later versions?

Thanks.

Steve, I have a bubble balancer you can use and a bubble balancer top you can have. Just remind me before I head your way again.

I don't have a picture here at work, but I did what you are talking about. I took a M105 trailer harness from the Packard connectors to the plug. All but one of the Packard connectors had already been cut off, which is why I got the harness for basically nothing. I have the proper wire...

I have been reading the manuals and doing searches for REO, Gasser and all kinds of stuff. I still have a few questions. The axles say "Timpken" on them. These are the weak CV style right? The 5 speed but only 1:1 5th transmission is the 3052, right? The PTO winch drivers on the trucks now...

Mona has been very willing to make anything custom for Zone members who have contacted her since she bought Judith out and moved to MN. The few products she has made since she took it over all got great reviews from those that got them.

Steve, I don't know of a loading dock I could "use" on a weekend morning. Can't really think of one during the week either. Bumper tow the 37. We are going to swap out axles anyway, so except for tires, you shouldn't have any troubles. I will call you tonight.

I have been mentally debating whether to pull all the axles or drain and fill with oil before I start to move them. Reading that somebody else pulled them kind of leans me in that direction. I hope to have 2 good rim/tires that I am going to put on the front of each truck while it is being...

You are correct about the 11.00-20 rims on the truck with no bed and the hub flip.
