    Starter help needed

    No it didn't, which is probably the reason for the trouble in the first place. There's a piece of angle iron bolted to the block that appears to have been somebody's attempt at a bracket, but it wasn't bolted to the starter. the proper bracket and bolts are coming in at the dealer tomorrow...

    Starter help needed

    Yes sir, that's the one. The guy at the garage said it was a good truck, they just haven't been able to keep a starter in it. Now I see why.

    Starter help needed

    Hey guys, My uncle bought a M1009 from one of the local towns, and I volunteered to help him get it going. I picked it up today and the guy said it had a broken starter bolt. Once I got underneath it and dropped the starter, I found a huge issue. The remaining starter bolt is larger than the...

    M35A2 Brake Service Questions

    Thanks Steve. I'll definitely keep the plugs just in case, but we won't be transporting it that way. I'm buying it from a friend so we can fix it before I take it home.

    M35A2 Brake Service Questions

    Thanks Valence. That's good info, I was very close to buying the kits without cup expanders. I found the DOT5 brake fluid as well. For whatever reason, they keep the big bottles in the back at the commercial desk, that's why all I was seeing were the little motorcycle sized bottles, so it is...

    M35A2 Brake Service Questions

    Hey guys, I've been looking for a long time and it seems I've finally found a deuce. It's a 1970 AMG M35A2 with 1995 overhaul tags. It's in pretty nice shape, but the guy I'm buying it from has the brake line blocked off to the rear axle because of a right rear wheel cylinder leak. There's a new...

    Thanks Doghead. I appreciate the information.

    Year and manufacturer unknown?

    Hey guys, I'm still looking for a deuce, and there are a few up for auction not too far away. A couple of them are listed as "year and manufacturer unknown". They have pictures of the data plates and sure enough, there is no manufacturer listed, just the NSN and vehicle number fields are filled...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Think I could put a snorkel kit on one and drive it home?

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    I must be missing something. Where does one find a Norwegian deuce?

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Yes, LDS was what I meant. Thanks for the info. If it will keep the exhaust temp down I will look toward the LDT turbo. I was thinking they had no benefit to the engine other than making the exhaust look better.

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    I'd buy a 5-ton in a heartbeat if registration wasn't such a hassle. I've looked into it and it appears in NC i would have to register it as a commercial truck, get a class B (I think) CDL and keep a log. At least, that's how I read it. If anybody is running a 5-ton privately in NC I'd like very...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    No stumps, I'd use the winch more for pulling them in the right direction as we're cutting them and then drag the trunks with the truck. I do it now with my F-250 but could use a little more weight for the bigger trees. We cut 8 or 10 a year for firewood and I have some shooting lanes to clear.
