Insane amount of time, you ask. I spent an insane amount of time getting a stuck & stripped male pipe plug at the rear of the block out a few weeks ago.

My radiator is at the radiator hospital right now with the same problem. They said it might need a complete rebuild of the lower tank on the future. Hopefully their solder job holds.

The petcock will drain your coolant from the block. I was also having some concerns regarding my pressure, but I just discovered that I have 120 p.s.i. sender with a 60 p.s.i. gauge. Thanks for the pictures.

Hooked up the coolant filter. Then used an "easy-out" (which wasn't all that easy) to remove that evil, evil, evil male pipe plug in the rear of the block for the circulating tank block heater. Special thanks to Darrell from Bridgewater (Johnson Controls) and Scott from American Axle for the...

Torn off front end, removed radiator, removed belts (original from 1988 & cracked), removed all hoses including water manifold hoses (all original from 1988 & starting to break down), scrapped old gaskets, and scrapped scrapped the old gaskets. Stopped enjoyed the view of the wife sun bathing...

I am having the exact same problem. I was getting some leaking from some of the other hose connections when the temperature went below zero degrees Fahrenheit. So I figured it was similar, glad that you tore it apart first. And thanks for the pictures.

I have the 1,000-watt version sitting on my workbrench. I plan on doing the install (along with other work) in the spring when it is warmer.

Last week I shoveled off 15 inches of snow in 13° below 0°F to discover a little green snow below the motor. Traced the leaking to the hoses. So I tightened them all up. Seems good so far. (Not sure why that pic is sideways..it should not be.)

67°F that must be horrible.

Myself and the boy took it to "the depot" and loaded up a bunch of 2x4s for a back yard skating rink for him and his sister. We should be playing hockey in a few days.

Hooked up two float chargers on the two batteries to help maintain the charge this winter. It was 6°F last night.

I have just discovered a small amount of coolant on one of the same bolts but not really any dripping onto the driveway below. However, I tested anyway; the concentration looked good. I installed a block heater into the water pump and if I had to do it again I'd get the circulation tank type...

Carnac, Would you please work your magic on the information that I have for my M35A2 (without a winch)? The data plate on the dash board was removed at some point before I took ownership. I got the V.I.N. from the frame and it matches the V.I.N. the government put on the paperwork. The...

I just replaced my switch. It would only bring power if the switch was half-way between off and on. If it is your switch, then shop around--I got mine for about $50 shipped. It took less than 30 minutes to replace. Good luck.

I bought an m35a2 from GSAauctions.gov back in the spring of 2013. Before I placed a bid on it, I did something that the yard manager said was almost unprecedented: I came out to the storage yard and inspected it (as it was not too far from home--about 90 miles). I knew before I placed a bid...

Being from Michigan, I am a big fan of block-heaters during these cold winters. Therefore this was a must do for me. I ordered the Kat's 600-watt model#11619 from Amazon for about $33 shipped to my door. I found that the the unit would not fit in my water-pump. So I followed Westfolk's...

Installed a [faulty] block heater. It was leaking from the electrical prongs. So took it out and send it back and I am waiting for the replacement to arrive. installed a new on/off (auxiliary) switch; still need to reattach battery cables and test it. Filtered about 11 U.S. gallons of waste...

Michigan has four seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Road Construction. Good thread. Great read. Thanks for the updates Heath.

Five-and-a-half U.S. gallons of oil to be added: Draining out the old oil: One of the project supervisors up on the ladder making sure I only add 22 quarts.
