I have a line on a complete IP that I was going to snag for another buddy of mine, but if Bjorn needs it, I'll snag it and send it out to him... It is mounted on a M36 that I was "borrowing" parts from last Saturday (when I had my leak due to the broken line to cylinder #6). Hate to hear that...

They do look just like the photos you sent me to post on my website... I haven't done anything to mine yet except rework the wheel bearings to that I could roll it around the yard and to look at it a lot... I'll get around to the resto next summer... The NEW section of my website that has...

I've had four folks tell me that they want this trailer, then something comes up and the deal falls through... It is still in my yard, and is still for sale...

The line was not rusted, nor was the big nut frozen to the line... The flair fitting was stuck to the line itself and the piece that broke off did so right accross the bottom of the fitting... I agree about metal fatique and do wonder if the nut was stuck when somebody else turned a wrench on...

Just wondering... I had to replace the IP to #6 cylinder high pressure line last Saturday during a 500 mile roundtrip excursion in my '83 M35A2C. Was almost at my destination (ten miles out) when I lost power and the engine started making a woofing noise. When I pulled over and checked I had...

RE: Tow Bar Pins I just get pins from AgriSupply... Not original, but I like the fact that the big hitch pins have handles on them.. Innexpensive, and good...

Blackout has turn incorporated into the stop function... Bulb cross reference for 12-24volt is on my website at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/12voltconversion.htm ( I even tell you by size/function...). Converting the lights from one voltage to the other is as simple as you think, swap the 12v...

Don't you just normally run around with a big lifting shackle attached to the lugs and only put the tow bar adapter on when you use a towbar (ie, keep the adapters with the towbar)? That way, you can easily sling, tie down, or otherwise attach the vehicle to something (or vice versa) using a...

You have a problem with the wiring, lights, or bulbs... Check (in order) your grounds, check the pins (plug and receptical) for cleanliness and contact, check the connections all the way from the plug through the lights, check to see that your truck's plug actually is wired right... The...

Folks, I thought that I would cross post from the NCMVPA website forums with the updated info in case anyone wanted to join us... MV Show: Saturday, October 7, 2006 (8am-until). Propst Volunteer Fire Department in Newton, NC. Displays and vendors wanted and needed (MV's etc from all time...

For those of us in the Southeast (US), the "go to" place for this stuff is Agri-Supply... Also, sometimes, Southern States and Tractor Supply (depending on location and if it is the farm version or the clothing/lawn and garden version...).

Bjorn, I'm thinking about going to a rally in WV this October (PW crowd is going trail riding...). If I do, I'll try to swing by your place on the way up...

Actually, as long as you weld the blocks to the axle, it is perfectly acceptable to put a block between the springs and the axles. Make sure that you use a new index bolt in the sping back that goes through the springs and the block in order that you properly locate the axle (the axle has a...

I cross posted this on the g503 website in the "events forum" and have had several responses, including one from the TN MVPA club closest to NC that indicated that they would support and attend an event near Newton... They mentioned that it would be closer than anyone that their club put on...

RE: Canvas questions Yep, roll the sides up quite often when carrying folks in the back and it works great (buckles to the outside)... Current FM is to leave the sides rolled down when carrying troops (got to be real hot...) as it keeps folks from being able to tell if the truck has troops...

It's a nice truck... I know it well (I have had it glued to my bumper on more than one East Coast Convoy and I expect to see it behind me in the future (say, sandwiched between Kenny and myself with Graham running up alongside with his camera...). You got yourself a great rig... Best wishes.

Re: RE: Seat belt question Well, it works just fine in both of my trucks.. Military installed them and they have the inertial real so that the tension is maintained even with the seat moving up and down... Things lock up tight if you decelerate rapidly (ie, hit something or are hit...)...

Same here in NC, at least a cup every time.... I drain my at least every day. In the summer, every time that I shut it down... Got the drains relocated so that I can do it from the side of the truck... Have a stencil the FrankUSMC made for me that says "drain tanks daily".... Love that...

The ones in both my smaller trucks (one has this seat, the other doesn't) most likely are similar to what you'd be looking for. I think that the 2/5 and 5 ton trucks used the same kit... Anyway, take a gander at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/m35pages/m35photos4.htm

The first truck that I am thinking of has a multifuel with the wistler turbo, troop seats, bows (no canvas right now, but I suspect some could be found), seatbelts (the military ones applied during a rebuild by the Army), and a hardtop. If you don't want a hardtop, it can be changed out...
