Wonderfully enough, my dogbone has been replaced with an interrupt switch, mounted in what I'm guessing is an A3 plastic box (this is my first MV and previous owner didn't go into much detail). The switch works, so when it's off, the batteries are isolated the same way as if the dogbone were...

Greetings from Michigan!! Can confirm as a newbie, you're in the right place. This site might as well be the MV library of Alexandria.

THIS!!!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you

Anyone have the TM (if one exists) for the proper battery terminal/battery removal process for the A2? I have searched my manual and many threads on here, plus web, and nothing.

Thank you. Sometimes it's the simplest things.....

That's a lot simpler than having to isolate. Contradicts everything I read, but if you never had a problem with it, when the time comes I will install them un-isolated and see what happens. Did you ever have a problem with the 24v system not energizing?

Guessing that's what happened here, haven't tested the generator in the box yet. Only thing "wrong" with this setup is the alternator doesn't self energize, it has to be stimulated by crossing the poles with a small wire and arcing. Once that happens though it functions properly until the truck...

Ok, so after further reflection, (and much shame) I discovered that I don't have an alternator/generator combo, just an alternator who's voltage is yet to be determined! The generator is in a box of extras that came with it. Soooo I guess as I'm going to run it til I need new batteries, then...

Lots of ideas, but how viable are they? That's the question. Simple questions first, what is the air temp where you are, has fuel pressure been verified by gauge after the last fuel filter, and how long is it cranking before you let it stop?

Hello all, I purchased a 69 Kaiser m35a2 with a 12v alternator set up in parallel with the 24v generator and system, and I know it's installed improperly. Throughout this thread I will be assessing and documenting exactly what is installed improperly and how I remedied the problem. So far the...

Oh man.... Poster child pic for the term "It's fun, 'til it's not". Guessing it was shortly thereafter a winch was considered....

Thank you!

Whas it a rock, hill, or tree? Lol great looking truck, love that if we put the pics side by side it'd look like they're parked on the same lot. Will definitely be reaching out in the TM section as well as the hot rodding section, thanks for the info and the welcome

Hello all, the time finally came, after 12 years, an M35 was deemed "practical", purchased, and is proving to be my greatest teacher. She's a 69 kaiser m35a2 w/w, and probably the most fun out of anything I've driven, and that's saying a lot. Keep em live, keep em rolling!!!!
