    1983 M35A2C Brake Fluid Disappears

    If it is still vented to the air cleaner check your air cleaner, if I recall if the air pack is bad it will vent fluid.

    Engine Dip Stick Length and Carrier Cover Bows

    The ambulance cover is not like the cargo cover that has extra material that hangs over the sides and is tied down, it only just barely goes over the sides and is held against the body with a metal strip. Given the fact it may have shrunk over time it may appear to be short compared to a...

    M561 Steering Gear boxes

    I use Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer in mine @ 100% and use 50% in the transfer case. Its "sticky" and less likely to leak if the seals have wear. The lube order calls for 90wt gear oil.

    rear goat covers

    I sent my old cover to another member here who is having one made, perhaps he will chime in when it's finished. When he is done the old cover can be shipped to some one else if needed.

    Gama Goat Transfer Case Lube Tube View

    It doesn't pump oil if your transmission is in neutral, to test it in a "static" mode you need to put your transfer case in neutral and your transmission in gear then it will pump. If it has sat for a while this is a good way to prime it before hitting the open road.

    No problem NDT, this is how we learn, so is that plunger a reverse lock out ?

    Aloha, ‘67 M725 no reverse

    Here is a picture of the shifter assembly I rebuilt, you can see the end of the plunger in the center to the left, the part the shifter hits against is hidden in the center. So what does this spring loaded plunger do ?, it prevents the shifter from moving the shift rail unless you lever that...

    Aloha, ‘67 M725 no reverse

    There is also a safety device so you have to depress a spring loaded plunger to engage reverse, it may be stuck/rusted.

    Manual/Power Steering Drag Link Same ?

    It's been several years since I converted to power steering on my M882, my M886 has the same power steering set up but needs a new drag link. The new surplus ones available say manual steering only, I don't recall having to change the manual steering one when I converted the M882 to power...

    Vinyl or canvas covers??

    A M105 trailer cover may work but I don't have one to try, the end curtians on the goat snap in which seems to be unique to the goat, although that really doesn't matter for a replacement cover.
