    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I was out doing more work on my truck today and pulled some parts off of a parts truck. I thought this bridge plate cleaned up nice. Before and After (Yes it is the same plate) I'm sure happy with it and did not expect it to turn out so well.

    54 XM-211 Reverse Only

    Definitely get TM 9-8024. It will help you a lot. Also NDT is right on as well. Looking in my manual under the transmission troubleshooting, it shows the following as possible causes of your problem: 1. Rear Band 2. Transmission Shift Lever 3. Manual Linkage 4. Rear Servo 5. Transmission...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I fixed my fuel sending unit today. There were three rivets holding the housing together. I drilled them out on the bottom side that goes against the gas tank and opened it up. There is a wire wrapped piece that a little brass contact that is hooked to the float assembly rubs up against. The...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I have had some time to start going through the wiring under the dash. What a mess. Everything is almost back to military configuration, plugged in where it is supposed to be and most of the 12V stuff added on through the years removed. I still need to hook the air buzzer back up. It was...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Last night a friend of mine took my truck mufflers home with him and today brought them back. He took the best internal parts and made one good complete muffler. The M135 is back to running quiet again! When the weather cooperates, I will try to get a video made.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    That could be. The condenser I used was Borg-Warner and made in Mexico.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    If I can make a trip up there happen in the near future, I may take you up on the offer and bring you all the metal pieces for a canvas cab top. I have two mufflers here. One that was on the truck that is hollow and the back side is cut out. I could have an end welded on to test that method...

    Yes. That is what he said.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    We didn't race them, but did push them a bit to see what they would do. My truck does not have the REB shifter on it. The 2nd to 3rd shift in high range does not shift as hard as 1st to 2nd. Really I don't notice it much at all except for the sound of the engine changing. In low range the 2nd...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    The other day I ordered some condensers from Alpha Heaven so that I have a few spares. I spoke with majortom and asked him about the carburetor jets and the size differences in the kits we got. He said we definitely do not want to use the parts with smaller openings. He recommended taking a...

    Where to get rubber brake lines for M135??

    If it were me, I would clean up the old rods, put them back in and see what happens.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    NDT...you are the man!! It was the condenser. I pulled one off of my parts truck installed it and it fired right up. Could someone test a known good coil for or on the G749 and let me know the ohm reading? I pulled the coils out of my parts trucks and tested them and the coil currently in my...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I tested the ignition coil from the parts truck. Primary is 1.5 ohms. Secondary is 8,280 ohms. If weather cooperates tomorrow, I'll test what is in the truck currently. I am sure NDT is right about it being the condenser. Just thought I would test the coil out of the parts distributor in case.

    First '52 XM211

    I checked the parts trucks today and I do not have a fording plate. Sorry.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I pulled a distributor off of a parts truck. The internals look nice and clean. Does anyone know how to test the ignition coil, ignition coil capacitor, primary circuit resistor and condenser? I don't see in the manual where it says how and didn't see anything in the search function here that is...

    Yes and they just got a little more rare. That was the only good one I had.

    Brake cylinder for M211

    I like the looks of the 1100x20 tires too. The 900x20s just don't look right to me for some reason. How much space is between the duals with the larger tires?
