Where is the link or button for the CLASSIFIEDS? I just got my butt chewed for posting a genset for sale in a forum, but I don't see a classified section.
I'm all the way up here at the Wyoming border. By the time I drive to Aztec and back, I may as well have paid UPS to ship them. Right now I've got so many irons in the fire I can't take the time, it's about 6 hours each way. So if you like, figure what you need for them and UPS to me up at 1108...
Do you guys all have chain sets in case they call a mandatory ice warning? I've only found one outlet with surplus chain sets for 11.00-20 tires and they're a fortune..
It is. The diff ratios are different, the T case has the same output drive ratio front and rear. We're talking 1930's mechanical engineering. There was no way to build the trans case to do this without it being essentially TWO trans cases in one, but using two different diffs is easy. That's how...
My other question, and getting out of Colorado this one is important...how do your BRAKES hold up in the mountains? The stretch of Highway I-25 starting at just south of Walsenburg Co.all the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico has a couple of very hairy 6% grade downhills..this is a big truck with old...
Really? I'm amazed. Well, it seems the engine / drivetrain is hefty enough to take it, although 50 mph on the 75 mph Interstate 40 would make me a big fat green target for some half asleep long haul trucker. 7 to 8 MPG..my Avalanche with the 6500 engine package only gets 10, considering the...
1966 AM-General M35A2 multifuel turbo, no winch. Has all lights, wipers, horn, runs strong, with bow and canopy top kit installed. Pics sent to your Email if interested.
Out of curiosity, and the need to get my Deuce to Arizona from Colorado..
How far has anyone here actually run their Deuce out on an interstate? What top speed could you safely maintain without getting nervous about your rods staying inside?
Found a buffalo in Missouri for $500.
Now I'm negotiating transport on a lowboy out here to Colorado. I can't do 1400 miles round trip in my Deuce! Price on the trailer is great. Getting it here? We'll see.
Deal isn't sealed yet, so anyone sees one closer to Colorado, don't hesitate.
Looking for a water buffalo. I'm located in Northern Colorado near the Wyoming border, out on an 80 acre ranch in the foothills. Need a back up system to bring in water in the event of drought, well pump failure, or unforseen need for water. I have onsite reverse osmosis filtration with UV...
Yes, a good idea. I think I'll do likewise. That one hose made short work of the contents of the entire lubrication system for the engine, spit it out in no time. I was idling the truck while loading my .50 and ammo onboard to drive down to my ravine / shooting range when this big puddle formed...
Hey Kids:
My M35A2 turbo 465 has a funny little oil line on the fuel injection pump body.
Looks like it goes from the front of the engine gearcase back to the pump body. trouble is, this line seems to have been replaced with some kind of amber colored translucent tubing that has dried out and...
Thanks, but that's a bit of an expedition for an old 2-1/2 ton to make. I'd have to see about getting it on a flatbed and hauled out to me, and these days that would cost more than the trailer. I appreciate your reply though.
Hey guys...
So far this board never fails me when I'm looking for something, so I'll throw this out.
Summer is on the way, and it's time to find a water buffalo or similar military water tank trailer to hook to my M35A2 in the event we have a dry summer and the wells go dry.
So..anyone with a...
V100
Outstanding. As an old tanker, I'm always happy to see another warhorse saved from the scrap heap, and you sir appear to be a dedicated and highly talented restorer. This V100 has found it's way to the right guy.
Drive on, soldier.
