From what I was told it was burned up, but I am not sure what that exactly means. The reason I ask about which one to replace it with, is that I found a new one made by United Technologies, where the one I have is an AmeriBosch. I am not sure if you can interchange the pumps that are made by...
I have a 68 Kaiser M35A2. It wouldn't start a month ago, so I have a friend who is a diesel mechanic come look at it. Turns out that the fuel injection pump is shot. He took it to a guy who does rebuilds, and it is toast so it cannot be rebuilt. I am searching for a new one. The pump that...
I located a rear seal, but am still looking for the front seal. Would anyone know if a seal from another type of truck might be able to be modified and used, example: could a seal from a 5-ton M939 be used?
Is there a seal/gasket that goes on top of the windshield, where the top will mate with it? I cannot seem to find anything in any photo or tech manual that shows a gasket/seal there, but I am it won't work well during rainy weather (unless you like moisture coming in). I have located the...
I am going with what I am being told by my body shop guy, that he doesn't have what he needs, as I am not present to see what he has in the kit versus what he needs. When he called me, he stated he needs the gasket for the front and back sides, which are not in the kit I got him. So if anyone...
What I have obtained is a 19 piece Cab Weather Seal Kit from Erik's Military Surplus that contained the following. According to the body shop guy who did the work on the hard top restoration, and is now trying to install it, he is stating it doesn't seem to have the 2 seals/gaskets that we...
I have a 68 Kaiser that has a soft top. I recently acquired a steel hard top that was in decent shape, only had the top dented in like normal where someone stood on it, and it needed painted. The hard top restoration has gone well, which we removed all dents and have it repainted in woodland...
I've got a 68 Kaiser and have never used it in the winter. With winter knocking on our door step, should you do anything to the diesel fuel to keep it from gelling? I am told that the suppliers switch out to a winter blend. If your tank is already full of a non-winter blend, then do you use...
I would opt to cover the winch during the snowy and icy weather to keep the ice from forming on the cable. An iced over cable might be a pain to get undone if needed.
I've got a 68 Kaiser. The guy who I got it from stated that the parking brake shoes are worn due to a friend who drove around with the parking break on. I have new shoes to put on it. I had a relative drive the truck from where we acquired it from to his place (about 100 miles). When we...
I am needing to replace a knuckle boot. The 1-piece in silicone seems like it will last longer in theory. The zipper style boot is less labor intensive when compared to the 1-piece, is there any advantages or disadvantages to the 1-piece design?
I found a M35A2 I am thinking of getting. It has a soft top on the cab. I have researched many threads, and it seems like that a lot of people prefer the soft top over the hard top, and many of those that prefer the soft top are in southern states. I live in Minnesota where we have winter...
Thank you everyone for the welcome. I am in Andover, which is in the northwest Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area. I have not owned any Military vehicles as of yet, but have ridden in many from the M35A2, Willy's Jeep, to a Russian T34 Tank. I have the bug, just trying to figure out what to get.
I have been lurking on this forum and a few others for some time, and just joined this forum. Lots of great information here. I am wanting to get 6X6 vehicle, and have been looking into a M35A2. After doing lots of reading, researching, and conversations with people, I am leaning towards...
