I got these new years ago it’s I believe fresh date codes from militaryoffroadtires.net out of Georgia. I think he is out of business now. I lucked out and got 10 new tires with no issues, and then ordered the internal bead loks that go with that tire, that’s when my issues started he was short...

Sunday, Sommerville MA (largest parade in MA) haulin vet's that live in the Vet's home that can't march and don't want to ride in the the air conditioned state van. They had a blast telling stories, eating candy, throwing candy to kids, and eating more candy. Local small parade on Monday.

You mentioned in post#8 not making over 80psi; check your belt. A loose belt can = low air pressure when running (I know from experience). like post#9 said you should be running at 100-120 psi.

I also just ordered a new in-tank pump from Olympic Controls for $225 including gaskets. Dave was a pleasure to do business with. The part number is 311-389-1.

Hello all; two quick questions for those with all the knowledge out there: Are there any issues with mounting 15.5/80R20 Michelin XL Military Tire on a M35A3 combat (11"x20") tubeless 2 piece (O-ring installed) rim for my M35A2? Also, will that fit up on the M105A2 trailer? Thanks, Steve

I also picked up a set of compressor wrenches from comdiver; fabrication well done and I highly recommend purchasing the set from him. Steve

Welcome from south of Boston; I also am in the engineering industry and have the OD fever.

New member from Boston, MA (30 minutes south or half way between Boston and Cape Cod). Got my M35A2 Deuce and M105A2 trailer Oct 2009 and drove it home from Ohio.
