    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    Yes the toggle is the 3 way. I put it in the center (off) position. The Defroster and the Damper knobs are pulled out a bit. That’s the way they were when I got Her. Is that a problem ? Now the power toggle is off. I never heard or felt the heater being on at all while I have ran the engine...

    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    By the photo of mine. It looks like the heater is in low. The defroster and heater knobs are pulled out a bit. I will take larger photo of dash and how mine is set. I ran Her engine for 40’minutes yesterday morning and didn’t notice heater or defroster on. Never thought it was on any time I...

    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    That looks like it’s it. Wish mine still had the On/Off : high /low plate still on it. I will check toggle while Truck Master is off to see if it’s got three positions. I have never touched it as of yet. But I will tomorrow. Thank You

    Question: I am not sure what this toggle switch does. I think it has to do with the defroster and or the cabin heat. It’s mounted with the words upside down. I have looked in the manuals and haven’t found it. I try not to “Hit the Switch and We’ll see what happens” Thanks

    I should have removed those fittings that were resistant to getting grease and cleaned the inside. Thanks

    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    Correction: someone did get into Transfer case. It’s just so Oil and grease free that I didn’t see. Oil lube all the way to top and Clean. That’s the good news. Bad news :: Me. I broke two grease fittings one on the parking brake under the bell housing and the other is the upper fitting on the...

    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    The Transfer case plugs fill and drain doesn’t look like it has ever been touched and no oil residue on housing. Gonna check that one first then Transmission : Plan to put in 85/140 conventional if needed to replace or top off depending how gear lube looks. Getting extension tube to screw into...

    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    Thank You The flexible break lines look good no cracking that I see so far. Will look again in length. Was gonna use the silicone there to clean surface and leave a protective layer ( hopefully) / The bushings on shocks have some cracking not real bad but has some. Wanted to put a thin...

    Checking Brakes and Steering on My 83 M35A2

    Can’t find the Manual that shows My 83 M35A2 But close enough to where I can hopefully get it. Newer M35s show multiple grease fittings on front wheels - Mine has one facing up on top. Able to get full size grease gun on them
