LDS-427-2
I'll have to look at my engine plate but I am pretty sure it is an LDS427-2 motor. I have heard of the M656 having a much more powerful 465. Never saw one yet. John Naglich has the fuel pump heads for these engines quite inexpensive and with a bit of machining on the shaft that goes...
LDS427-2
I am still running one from 1964, it is a white engine in a white truck. We use it at work as a spare off road dump truck. It has a lot more torque than any of my LD and LDT 465's in the M35A2 series of trucks. It uses about no oil and is very dependable. It does smoke a LOT of black...
GL, GSA bidding
Hello all, My feeling is that DRMO used to post all bidder's names,addresses, and bidder #'s for each item bid on. It was public information. Now, this stuff GL is selling is also public property, paid for by us. I don't think it is wrong to let all the members of this list know...
YAAAAA HOOOOOOOOO
Hi Wade, looks like you got a nice deuce, it's old but the upgrades are new. Looks real clean, hardtop, you'll do OK. JT on the other coast
Manuals on winches
Hi Mangus, I will get back to you tomorrow PM with Manual 3 and section on the winch adjustments. Yeah I was refering to Spicergear's winches, lucky I guessed he did some winch swapping, forums are a bad place to go off half cocked, you get flamed in spades!!!!!!!! JT
winches
I am beginning to feel like I don't know as much as I thought I did. I have to figure you installed a 20K winch on your deuce if we are talking about a front mounted winch. I own a lot of M35's and those that are equipped with winch all have a 10K winch on the front end. If you have a...
10K M35 winch
Hi Mangus, the band brake is behind the flat plate directly in front of the input shaft, there is one bolt out of all of them that you can't take out due to interference with part of the winch bracket, but you can loosen it and swivel the plate up out of the way. You will see the...
Which useless brake did you want to throw out? The band brake that holds the load when you disengage the clutch to stop the winch? Or the drag brake that stops the drum from over spooling when you pull the cable out to hook on to something? Both brakes are important and easy to adjust. Band...
Used door prices
The last complete used doors I bought cost $125 each from Jim Henry, Gilbert Pa show Sept 2004. They had rust through at the lower front inner corners but were complete and everything worked. John t
Ziggy, I would like one kit, the guys in the MTA-NJ can vouch for me. I'll have money with me for it at Jim Thorpe, or I can mail it if need be. John T
Why M275
Kenny you are so lucky,or just smart. It's cold as heck up here and the only thing we can do outdoors up here is look at the snow pushing down our cab tops!!!!!!!! I've been putting tarps over a lot of them, just hoping for Spring asap. John T
Our annual WWT show, sponsored by the Hudson-Mohawk Chapter of the NY-PENN MVCC will be held on Armed Forces Weekend, May 20 and 21
2006. It will be at The Empire State Aerosciences Museum, at the Stratton ANG base in Glenville, NY on Rt. 50 North of Scotia, NY. This event is projected to be...
I haven't found any air filter for the M35A2 with multifuel engine that flows 410 CFM except the correct military spec filter by Donaldson # P11-7551. The napa 2837 that I have been told to use, only flows 265 CFM. This was brought to my attention by the real deuce doctor, Mr. RAM
