The cooler wouldn't by chance of had water, rather than coolant in it and froze? Yeah there doesn't look like much friction material is left on those...Are you looking for other M24 people to talk to? I only ask cause one used to sit at a concrete plant by a farm that I grew up on. A fellow...
Malcolm,
I haven't rebuilt one of these yet, but I called fastco just in an attempt to see how available parts were. http://www.fatsco.net/
The fella I spoke to, used to build these transmissions in their shop. I didn't mention what is was in but asked about parts for the reduction unit and he...
That would be another way to go to fix it and a good idea. I could've started totally from scratch and flared the ends, but the flares they had were in good shape. My flaring tool will make double flares but there are better tools out there for that. Certainly where it is brazed the copper is...
Front Fuel Line repair under radiator
I temporarily spliced the under radiator core fuel line with 3/8" rubber house back during summer to get this truck home. I've driven and used this truck since then, and was a little disgusted with myself to see how much the fuel line had kinked when I was...
Finally got around to updating the oil filters to jantonkas spin on oil filters.

I should add that to be fair, I started the truck Friday night, and ran it. Waited 24hrs and started it...
You know its because you have made a tactical error...you needed one more parts truck! Don't you know third time is the charm. I'm sure it'll be understood if you bought just one more...
Sounds like you would be trading one truck that's gonna require a lot of work for another requiring work-potentially. It would matter most what you needed-are you needing the dodge for something or is it just an opportunity? While the G749 might not be worth much, having one with a dump box...
Thanks all for the advice. I'll let you know how I end up on it. It may be a little it till I know. Here is the 35a2 with a 211 recovery--I knew the 211 was there especially on the uphill sandy spots. Can't imagine a truck double its weight behind
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help. I have a serious disease and its getting worse, and is incurable!! I've loved army jeeps since I can remember, now I'm onto trucks!! My 35a2 I bought not running-it had a kinked fuel line, which I checked before buying it. I'm no stranger to working on...
Thanks guys I really suspected flat towing it would not be too keen of a idea. Glad to hear that the air connections were towing related. Don't have anyone close to me that has a 5 ton that I know of so a deuce is all I have. Gonna find out more about its mechanical situation. Maybe it can be...
I was wondering on a 5 ton why they have air plumbed to the front of the truck? I am looking at a m51 that could be a possible project, and noticed the air on the front...also noticed a m932 at the local vfd that had air up front-so I'm sssuming its a 5 ton thing. Is it for towing-that the...
I take it, they surplused it out of the fire dept. cause of the "max speed 35" sign on the dash. Hard to live up the expression "you in a hurry, where's the fire," when the mopeds are passing yah. I know bad joke. Look forward to seeing and hearing the beast fire up. Would be interested in your...
Not to hijack the thread...but I remember seeing a tutorial lesson from another ahab on pointing arrows and pictures....could we get a refreshing. Would be handy when pointing out objects on existing pics
I'll bet where you are located you have a bunch of humidity with your cold. Here we are dry, so its not too bad. Funny how those snow storms work around here...takes a number of them before people remember to slow down. Well if nothing else it looks as though you have a great start on getting...
