Not positive, but you could call Oregon DMV, but since there are no plates on the truck I would think that with the VIN you should be able to get an Oregon trip permit and drive it home.
M35s are not as plentiful in Oregon as in other states. Some show up on CL one in a while but I have been...
The gantry from HF is rated at 1 ton so the multifuel is getting close to the limit but like I said, it didn't even flex at all. Just make sure the you have it set tall enough before you start lifting....lifted the old motor all the way up and needed another 2" to get it over the winch :-? One...
I have another brand of cherry picker that looks exactly like the HF one and is rated to 4 tons. Lifted the multifuel with no problems but that was only to move it around the shop as it can't lift high enough to use on the truck. I bought a HF Gantry that was on sale and had a 20% off coupon...
I just buy fresh fluid. $73 for 12 a 12oz bottles free shipping. Easy to pour from small bottles than a gallon can and handy to keep a couple in the truck.
I put the ones from C&C on my truck, they fit and look good. They are Korean made but what I would call good quality. Only gripe is that the screws holding the frame together started rusting pretty quick as the finish is not good on them.
I got tired of constantly messing with mine and converted to electric and sold the old on an auction place advertised as spare parts. Electric is soooo much nicer.
I just used a pair of Snap-On brake pliers #131A that I have had for years, a little small for the Deuce brakes, but big enough to do it. The spiral hook end twists into the spring end and then the big hook gets set in a shoe rivet, squeeze and it stretches the spring right out, takes about 3...
The steer axle does not have an outer seal under the Spindle nut like the drive axles do. The front has the seal that is on the spindle that seals against the inner bearing and the seal in the retail at the end of the axle tube.
FYI, if you use a rod or dowel to drive out the Inner seal retainer from the opposite side instead of a puller, drape a heavy cloth or towel over the end of the knuckle.....If not you possibly might have it pop out and roll across your driveway and down into a canyon never to be found......aua

In my search I found them on Amazon.com even.
I have Hagerty and opted for the Premium Plan that covers the first 50 miles of guaranteed flatbed towing and covers the first $100 of other roadside services like fuel delivery, battery jumps and lockout service, I didnt do this for just my M35 as I have several other cars with them. Hagerty...
Actually the older pumps wiring plugs right into the new pump. The issue is the old pump plug socket is dimpled to hold the plug in. All you gotta do is use a small flat blade screwdriver ands plait the socket, then peel it open with needle nose pliers. Changed my old pump out to the new pump...
Best current price I have found for Dot 5 is Amazon, case of 12 - 12oz bottles for $73.58, free 2 day shipping if you are a Prime member. That's over a gallon for fresh new fluid.
I mounted mine on the firewall. Didn't like the idea of spilling fluid while trying to fill in the tight quarters by the seat. When my truck is warming up and doing a walk around, I just flip the side panel down and do a spot check, along with checking for any fuel leaks.
opps, my truck fell...
When I did my truck I stuck with DOT 5. The best deal I found was on Amazon for a 12 pack case of 12oz bottles for $73 free 2 day shipping (free shipping as a Prime member). This comes out to 1 gallon + 16oz. The 12oz bottles are also a lot easier to deal with than a gallon jug.
I put the spin on oil filters which was one of the best things I have done,, instant oil pressure, cleaner to change and don't have oil leaks any more. for fuel, I put the Spin on primary which again was well worth it, plus my canister was badly rusted and missing all the internal parts and the...
