The boom stowed with new brackets: The center clamp can have a padlock or safety pin; the poles are tilted down at the front to drain rainwater. Yes, the rear pins (last pic) are not quite long enough to look good, but they contact both ears.

Anyone going along I-10 can pick up one package approx. 60” x 36” x 6” at 60 pounds in San Antonio, TX. Drop off/meet in vicinity of Beaumont, CA 92223. Some cash for your effort is offered. Looking for this to happen between Feb 15 2020 to end of May. Ken 909-534-2628 Ndcctrucks@gmail.com

I realize the ohmmeter is not showing a short, but if all you did was replace the batteries then it seems likely the problem is in that area. Often, a chafed wire/cable will not measure low resistance or shorted until it’s moved/disturbed. Also, ohmmeters only put out a very low voltage in the...

Hi All: I’m installing an M49/M36 gun ring on my 1968 M35A2. I have the ring and will be fabricating the rest. I need some pics of an installed support plate in the rear of the cab, if anyone could help me out. I’ve already reconditioned and repaired the carriage and have a M2 cradle that’s...

Can someone PLEASE post the dimensions for the legs? OD, wall thickness, length. Arms too. Sketches. I'd really like to get this done by the end of April. THANKS

In reply to inquiries referring to Post #587 above, I have posted some info in the "The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it" thread on page 7: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/the-a-frame-kit-hoist-for-m35-lets-talk-about-it.2780/page-7

This is something I put together. It's based on a couple drawings I found. It is not a faithful rendition of what is found in the TM's, but it is lightweight enough to erect and use by myself. I AM NOT advocating anyone else use these drawings for any purpose other than for discussion...

Nope it was clean. Lucky you were able to do that!!

VERY OLD THREAD, I know.... The ring weighs about 60-70 pounds

Another TM you could look at is TM 9-1005-245-14 dated 1973; it's in the TM section of this site. It has more detail for the vehicle rings than the -13&P.

I have downloaded a copy of TM 9-1005-245-14 manual from 1973. The great thing about this edition is that, starting on page 9, there is a series of illustrations of the different models of the time!! Starting with the M36, there are eleven ring mounts shown. If anyone wants a copy, contact me...

I haven’t been able to discern the difference between the M49 and M36 kits?

First time in my life I’ll be anywhere near something fashionable

COOL THANKS! Can anyone tell me the TM for it?

Hi All: I have just received what appears to be an M36 gun ring with trolley; no legs or other hardware. I will possibly need to do some electrical work on another old mil truck to make it an even deal. The question is, would this ring be totally NOT appropriate for the M35A2? I really like...

Bearing grease actually is an insulator, and should be applied to the outside of a CLEAN connection, not inside it.

It’s been a pretty good truck- Lots of veterans have ridden in it and it’s not let me down as long as I keep up on the maintenance!
