PM me and we can talk if you're serious.

So it's been a long time since I've been online - literally over 2-years. Covid and other changes have wiped the slate. The whistler purchase fell through when I was downsized at work. But I found a great job in Kansas; unfortunately I've now been diagnosed with spondylolistthesis in my...

Count me in.

What?!!!!!! We have to talk... how can this be? Here in town!:D Well, the great news is I talked to Jack at Jacks Government Surplus in Tuscon. What a great guy. I sent him a graphic of the spring from the manual yesterday and when I called this AM he said the part's in the mail. What a...

Thank you both for replying . Yes I have the TM, unfortunately it doesn't break down the Hydraulic Head, not that I can find anyway. I will try Gimpy. The spring is as "B" below. Trying to get one from Jack's in Tuscon. Wish me luck. Bob

Hi guys, I need your help desperately. I have been working a deal with a local guy for a very nice M35A2 with a LDT-465 whistler in very nice condition. It had been sitting for a while though, so he took it to the local "big truck" service guys for oil plus filters. Well, apparently it...

That seems to be my problem, or at least my wife says so. Lots of rigs come in, but nothing ever seems to go out.... oh well. That's why we live in the Land of Enchantment where there's lots of space. - Bob

Very nice... travel in style.

Thanks. I think this will be the worst part of the transaction. I hate dealing with the MVD. The deuce has a camper unit attached, so might end up registered as a "truck camper". Bet it's at least 3 trips.

Bob in Farmington - About to buy my 2nd deuce, first one for "on road" ( the M36 gasser is still in progress). M36A2 with a whistler. New to registering one in New Mexico and this one was last in Colorado. No plates but he says he has the title. What's the skinny in NM, is it a PITA - other...

Me too, me too....:naner:

Interesting... all the pics I can find of the rear spring pack show 10 leaves. Mine has 12!

BTW - TM-8022, December 1954 - "350 - 400 ft-lbs." DANG!

OK - well now it's kicking my butt. I cannot get a clear shot at the driver's side upper frame studs. Tried heating with a torch, tried impact, even slipped the ram in between the stud and spring pack, all while wrapping the mount. I read again with interest the post about torque setting and...
