One of the most difficult projects on the M35A2 was the installation of a 10,000lb. Garwood winch. I ordered the winch from a seller in the Midwest. It was complete, but it had a lot of rust everywhere that made it difficult to disassemble. After I disassembled and sandblasted just about...
After getting the M35A2C home, I sanded and painted the truck Woodland Green. One of the modifications I made was to upgrade the truck with an M52A2 air cleaner assembly that I had, for the day when I would install an LDS Multi-Fuel engine. There is some cutting and welding necessary to the M52...
whyndman5, my M38A1 had the same problem. It would idle nice, but if you applied the throttle it would backfire, run rough, and had no power. The fix on my Jeep in the end was easy, so I hope this works on yours. I did the same things you did. I had the carburetor rebuilt, new points and...
