What a nice-looking truck! Glad you got it home safely :) If it's hot outside, like in the upper 80s or 90s, my A3 will run between 200 and 220 degrees with the engine fan cycling on and off. I think the fan is supposed to kick on at 220 degrees. Under normal driving conditions the...

Maybe if I ever get a third deuce I'd go crazy with this. The kits look slick!

I just included the files here for the box and mounting plate: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hdns-3d-stuff.224603/

Considering I've made a few MV-related things, I figure that I should catalog them in my own thread for them. Not all of these may have prints of them existing, and they may not be perfect. Part of my interest in doing MV stuff in CAD is being able to make reproduction parts, or have the data...

I have some Autodesk Fusion tutorials that I made and posted on YouTube. They're linked in my forum signature. My channel also includes other stuff related to 3D printing.

Turns out I needed to look in a different parts manual, which I managed to find here. TM9-2320-361-20P has these parts listed: Part #7521241 SEAL,PLAIN ENCASED A quick Google search seems to indicate you can get these seals new and not just NOS.

I think I see the issue here. I can't find an exploded parts diagram and list for the differential gear box in my -20P.

Is "carrier" the right word here? I'm not super-familiar with differentials, but from the pictures I've seen of differentials on the internet, the carrier is completely inside the differential housing and should constantly be getting oil: @Lukas Avkovsky Is there another part you're...

If it were me, I'd get the 5-ton as long as I can drive it and get it titled, and depending on how far away it is. There's a lot more truck to the 5-ton. The one you're looking at has power steering and air brakes, plus it should have super singles. It has an automatic transmission too, but...

How's the air system? Are there any audible leaks? Are the tanks still strong? Do the tank drains work? How is the overpressure safety valve? Is the air gauge and low pressure buzzer functional? EDIT: Added buzzer and gauge

That Sherman looks like it has white wall road wheels!

There was a thread in the hotrodding board about adding aftermarket dual-circuit brakes to the truck. I don't think it ever reached a good solution. With how prevalent computer-aided manufacturing is along with robotic machining equipment and metal 3D printing, I feel like it's about time...

I haven't considered taking my truck anywhere to get painted. Any time my dad got his trucks painted he did it himself outside with a spray gun setup. I may do the same if I have the right environment on it, like no trees dropping junk on my new paint! I had a body shop quote me for painting...

That truck looks pretty clean to me! Be sure to check the fenders for rust too. I see the rubber floor mats were removed at some point. They retain moisture, which is why the floor looks a bit rusty. I took most of them out of my truck when I had to pull the toeboard to replace the engine...

I also want to see pics. You could get a nice driveable M939-series 5-ton or a decent HMMWV for that price. I feel like that M35A3 better be close to immaculate or come with plenty of extras for $14000. It might be the seller's let-go price too - they don't necessarily want to sell the truck...
