    m35a3 adding reverse lights

    If you are using the A3 wheels use the A3 rubber bead locks.

    m35a3 adding reverse lights

    I would recommend using the A3 beadlock inserts like HDN has pictured. The A3 wheels and beadlocks are designed to be used with each other. They are very easy to remove, and installation is easy with a ratchet strap.

    m35a3 adding reverse lights

    I was told by Allison that the transmission was designed for Dexron 3 and that any other ATF, including Dexron VI, would degrade the O-rings and seals in the transmission, and cause premature failure. I'm running Dexron 3 in my A3 and it was a significant improvement over the motor oil...

    I have the Odyssey batteries in both my M35A3 and my FLU419. So far, no problems.

    m35a3 adding reverse lights

    I found some of this hose on Ebay years ago sold by the foot and it was real cheap at the time. I also replaced the short piece on the outside of the air cleaner from a different vendor on Ebay a few months ago. I think I paid ~$20.00 for the short piece with free shipping.

    Dot 5 Brake and Clutch Fluid - Hard to find

    I have several gallons of DOT 5 I purchased on Ebay for a cheap price. When I see it advertised with a low price, I buy it. My local auto parts stores all carry DOT 5 in stock, but the price is very high.

    M1030M1 Featured On Mecum Auction

    The M1030M1 USMC diesel motorcycle sold for $16,500.00 plus a Buyers Premium of 10% for a total of $18,150.00. I am very pleased with this result as my M1030M1 looks better than the one that sold on Mecum and I have no idea how well the Mecum Auction bike ran. Mine runs perfect. Plus, I...

    m35a3 adding reverse lights

    I've never seen an M335A3 that didn't already have backup lights. Mine has them. The switch is on the transmission.

    M1030M1 Featured On Mecum Auction

    There is an M1030M1 featured on Mecum Auction in Houston April 13 - 15. Not sure what date it will be sold. It will be interesting to see how much it goes for with such high publicity. Still not interested in selling mine.

    Brake lights stay on.

    I know you stated that the brake lights stay on after the pedal is released, but do the brakes stay on after the pedal is released. If the brakes don't stay on, I would suspect a faulty brake light switch.

    Understanding numbers

    You may want to look for information on the G838.org site which is dedicated to M151 vehicles. https://www.g838.org

    Remove surge brakes from

    You should keep the trailer as is. It is a very nice trailer and the surge brakes work great and are significantly better than no brakes. Just get a pintle hitch for your 2" receiver. Pintle hitches are much more secure than ball hitches. If the hitch on the towing vehicle is too low, you...

    Eastern Surplus - April 2023 vendor spotlight

    I've been very pleased with Eastern Surplus. I've bought two trucks from Eastern, a FLU419 and most recently an M151A2. I have used the FLU419 extensively on my property digging trenches. I'm in the process of stripping and painting the M151A2, which also runs great. When picking up the...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    After spraying all of the pneumatic lines with soapy water, no leaks were noted. Time for more extensive troubleshooting, but later.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I finally got around to pulling the plate from around the shifter. It was actually much easier than I imagined. However, other projects have gotten in the way of troubleshooting further, but I hope to get back to it this weekend. I do plan on using some soapy water to further check for air...

    Onan DJC parts that fit military generators

    My MEP003A always needs glow plugs heated to start unless it is re-started soon after shutdown.

    NJ Humvee insurance

    I have always added zeros in front of the serial number to total 17 digits for use as a VIN replacement and never had a problem with State Farm, Hagerty or Progressive insurance companies, or the tag office. I've used all three insurance companies and am currently using Hagerty and Progressive...

    Onan DJC parts that fit military generators

    Your problem is likely the oil pressure sensor if your Onan works like the Onan military gensets. You have to hold the start switch in the start position for a period of time after the oil pressure comes up prior to releasing the switch. For my MEP003A genset, it requires holding the switch in...

    M35a3 flywheel house

    If an insurance company is involved, the insurance company likely owns it now. If the guy still has it and no insurance company is involved, show up with $1500.00 in cash and see what happens. You can always go up. I would say $3000.00 is max, but I personally wouldn't go over $2500.00. You...
