Pulled mine also and found it all in good shape. The upper clamp was loose but still in place, who knows if it would have ever worked itself off. Still glad I checked it and now know it's good to go.

Mine is 25" on it's front leg standing level.

Well isn't that cool the note worked!:-D

"Didn't make it to Hooters".....I'm done with this thread.

Just wanted to update those that may search for an answer down the road, after a couple of weeks of driving she has been 100% after the proceedures given here. My solenoid being slightly different than the pictures can be atributed to my truck is a M35A2, not an A3.

Not one going to the Army motorpool or TXNG unit on College St.? See alot of MVs coming in and out of the Port of Beaumont, truckers stop at the Petro on Walden road, see them there all the time.

It's in the Edison parking lot next to the hydrant. Try to catch Ashley at the Hooters bar unless she has a floor shift. Morgan is my crew's regular girl :-D

If you know where the giant 20 foot tall dalmatian painted fireplug is you have found it ;-)

No disrespect taken, I don't know anything about these trucks. I went back by there today and took a look at the badge plate under the dash, it does say General Motors Truck, built 8-42, Yellow Truck and Motorcoach Mnfg, I think, didn't write it down. I didn't go poking around under the hood...

Just got in from work, a couple of things about it from what I remember; The badge plate under the dash on the firewall has a 8/1942 build date by Yellow Truck Co., The bed looked to be replaced to me also, the gas engine is in it and looks complete with carb and all misc parts from what I...

Any body know the dope on this one? It is located in Beaumont Texas near the downtown area.

Cool stuff, always wondered what one of those looked like set up :wink:

Here you go young man, top to bottom on your photo; width= 12-1/2", height= 11", bracket= 2". You might be able to see in the photo the steel isn't just flat stock, it has been pressed to a curve in the flat areas to give additional strength. I got my NIB from Memphis Equipment for about $45 I...

Okay I jumped on mine and it was a bit different type of solenoid. It had a 1- 1/4" cover bolt on the flywheel side that I removed and was able to access the shaft with an allen wrench to hold it in place. The contact disc was pristine on the back side so I did the flip and put it back together...

On the first page, the dual gauge locomotives were designated MRS-1 and built by ALCO and EMD, (MRS-1 = Military Road Switcher 1) designed as Standard gauge at 56 1/2" and 5 foot gauge for soviet railways. There is cold war thinking for you. PSRMA in Campo (just outside San Diego, Ca.) has...

Nice pics, thanks again, I'll give it a try after the looming thunderstorms :wink:

Thanks for the write up and pics, let us know if it solved your issues.

I would be interested to know how you got the disc off. The shaft with the nut just spins on mine so I wire wheel cleaned it with a dremel tool. I assumed that because I was doing this while it was still installed on the starter and the starter still mounted in the truck, that was why the...

I have two shovels 37.5 inches long and they fit my rack fine...maybe my rack is bigger than your rack......rofl

My shovel is 37 1/2" and the mattock handle is 36". (spelling, whew! picky picky!)
