    Jeepsinker's M35A2 6BT Cummins swap ( pics and videos)

    Thought you might like this ad if you haven't seen it already, it's easier to read if you open it in a new window. I also have the m35 repower instruction manual from Cummins if anyone ever needs info from it.

    Oilboard Stencils (.25, .5, .75, 1, 1.75 inch tall characters)

    I'm selling oilboard stencils for various MVs. These can be used multiple times and are often used by the military to mark things like tire pressures, warnings, etc. on vehicles. I can make stencils with 0.25", 0.5", 0.75", 1", and 1.75" tall characters. If you don't see what you want listed...

    m764 Pole setter scrapped out

    Found this old thread this morning while searching for power divider info since I picked up one of these at the NJ show last year. Turns out it's the same one. Glad this stuff was saved!

    m35a2 wheel spacers?

    I bought them from a friend, he told me he thought they were to space 11.00r20 tires away from the trunnion when running them as duals. Like running them between the duals though there will be slop from the oversized wheel stud holes which is why I'm thinking that might not be the intended use...

    m35a2 wheel spacers?

    I really don't think these are actually m35 wheel spacers but they're pretty similar to a wheel spacer. The problem I see is that they'll fit over a deuce hub and the outer lugnuts so I'm guessing they're probably for some other application. The number stamped on them is 1092988 which I can't...

    REO M275 truck tractor

    That's the "air brake hand control valve" according to the manual. Also referred to as a trolley valve or Johnson bar. It activates only the trailer brakes.

    1008 question

    It's been a while since I installed mine but if I remember right for the 14082 to work the very forward ends of the rear shackle mount brackets had to be removed (losing one bolt per bracket). I can't remember the work for the front hitch but it was a hassle and if I was only using it for a...

    1008 question

    I think there's a receiver hitch that will work on the back without any modifications to the rear shackle brackets. On one of my CUCV pickups I have a Curt 14082 receiver on the back and a Warn 25855 receiver on the front. Both required some modifications to the shackle mounts (not a big deal...

    Can you identify this mystery trailer?

    I've seen a couple very similar trailers to that one. Both were built by Silver Eagle in 2005 and look like they're built the same as the chassis of the m1101/m1102 in my opinion. The Silver Eagle part number is 01084-6668.

    Towing M211 with tow bar

    One thing to be prepared for is the tow bar hookups on the m211 are likely slightly smaller than 1" (I think 15/16"). One of my GMCs towed great with no driver or strapped wheel, the other had front end issues and needed someone to steer it.

    M1028A3 new project

    I'm assuming this is the truck, from ECR CUCV. These fiberglass shelters are very cool, that's the only one I've seen still on a truck. I've seen 3 others but they were removed from the trucks before being sold. 2 of them were sold from Camp Johnson in Colchester, VT probably 6-8 years ago...

    1967 M35A2 Lighting problems

    Just to clarify, you have the 3 lever switch in the “park” position? That’s the only time the front marker lights will be on, they don’t come on with the headlights (but it’s not difficult to make them work like that).

    That looks just like an original, great job!

    Front pintle hook on M1008

    Actually I have used it over rough terrain, that’s why the swivel hook was installed instead of a fixed hook which can be found for much cheaper. If it ever gets removed and I have to weld it up then I won’t sweat a little extra welding on a flat surface, it doesn’t get much easier than that.

    Front pintle hook on M1008

    Didn’t put a ton of work into it. Since the hitch came off a CUCV pickup bumper the reinforcement is what was used for a backing plate.

    Front pintle hook on M1008

    The CUCV with the hook going through the bumper itself just has a backing plate on it, nothing going to the frame of the truck. It's actually the plate from the outside of a CUCV pickup bumper that has the two carriage bolts. That's behind the bumper upside down and then since the bumper is...

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Nice truck. I had serial number 10078, it was built in 1966.

    New to me m59 dump truck...

    At the NJ show I picked up a mint windshield frame for $20 so I put that on today. I think I'm going to use the headlight panels off of a 1967 truck instead of the 1966 panels that allow for high or low headlights. While putting on a replacement hood I noticed the truck has an LDS IP. Not...
