Sorry for the delay, just saw your post. Technically (for now) no broken bones. Looks like a re-injury. Had to have work done on the knee twice and it aint looking good. Probably have to have another one. (insert nasty word here), I hate surgeries (12+ since the accident in 2005).

I'll look them up, thanks. I can't seem to get a brake (except for my knee). The weather this winter just aint cooperating. Can't even clean up the barn cause of the darn knee....:cry:

A little late but I received the gasket set from Alfa Heaven. Now if the weather would cooperate, I might get some work done.:roll:

Stan Alfa Heaven had the part. Thank you very much for the lead! Jeff

I'm pretty sure I've blown my head gasket on the XM-211. I've spen the past 4 hours searching everywhere I could think of for the Gasket Set. Do any of you M-135/M211 owners know of a source for these sets? Thanks You for any help you can provide. BTW there 21 pages of for sale parts. Wow...

how do I post pictures on messages???

I know it's been brought up in many, many thread but it can't hurt to say it again. My M101A1 trailer follows right along behind my M1009. Two things are very important...reading the book (sorry don't have page and paragraph) the M101 series trailers are not made to be towed behind the M1009...

O ring on the shut off rod appears to be good to go. No leakage. Lot's learned on the HH and how to get it apart and back together again. Had to do comparitive maintenance on the shut off cable. I couldn't figure it out till I looked at another truck. I'll drain off the excess sometime over...

That's what happened...twice. The second time AFTER changing the oil. At least I don't have to change the filters again, just drain them. Just ordered the gasket set, Thank you Phil for posting the information. It's finally warm enough today I might get to test the O Ring I changed out. I'm...

Thank you very much doghead! I drove my NCO's nuts as a young PFC and Lance Cpl because I couldn't find stuff in the TO. A simple bit of information is worth more than one of my infamous disertations. I get 60 degree weather again soon, Illl be testing o rings immidiately or as soon as the swamp...

Doghead, seems like you've got the best of alot of good advice. Now to figure out where all these things are. I found the HH, removed and located 3 O rings. Two are large and I don't have replacements. I'll hold off on messing with them till I can find a source for them. The third is a...

Just had a thought. The only place where oil and fuel can come into contact with each other is in the turbo. Fuel is injected by the fuel nozzle (see TM 9-2320-361-20, paragraph 3-31, page 3-67, item 27). Oil is injected by the oil inlet tube and drains out through the Oil drain hose (see TM...

This is where I'm at so far. The intake fuel nozzle (next to the spark plug) was leaking externally. When I removed it and took it apart I found the o ring was old and cracked. I replaced it and the External Leak from there stopped. I replaced a Fuel line..not sure yet where it goes but it...

Yes there is a sticker on one of the oil filter cans stating the FDC' has been bypassed.

Dumb question: how does the manifold heater make oil? I can't see anywhere that fuel can enter the oils system. Am I missing something?

I believe I have the manfold heater. I'll get the book out and double check. Hope the O rings are standard sized...

Checked the oil both ways you indicatedd and it looks like I failed the paper check. The oil didn't spiderweb down the dipstick. And now there looks like more "oil" is in the crancase. Probably about two quarts. Now to figure out where the cross over is occuring. I'll go through the "making...

I'm on my way out to try out your ideas. There is no fuel smell coming from the oil. I had a couple fuel leaks that I finally got around to fixing so I'm up to date on my fuel smelling certification. The old oil smelled lie old oil. The new oil which has about an hour on it, smells like new...

No, I never changed the oil..on any of the M35's. I pulled the dipstick, felt the oil and it wasn't gritty. There were no leaks on any of them and as I understand it, there is an oil analysis program the Army uses to keep track of contaminants. Place a sample in a tester, burn it and it'll tell...

This is a weird one: got my Toys For Tots (T4T) truck (1972 M35A2 WO/W) all set up for the big kickoff on the 5th (Oct) (picture below). I wanted to show the T4T committee what I had done and make sure the truck was set up as they envisioned. Got halfway there and my wife pulled up beside me...
