    M809/M813 PTO mounting Qs

    How many miles is an M35A2 and A3 good for?

    Preventive maintenance is the process of checking, adjusting and renewing components BEFORE they break or wear out. The TMs for vehicles of the M44/M35 era were written with two major thoughts in mind; maintaining the vehicle so as to be able to operate it in an austere environment fo 60-90...

    deuce valve lash

    A long handled 3/4" ratchet and socket. If memory serves it needs a short extension. I set mine a while back on one of my trucks that had 6,100 miles on a depot rebuild engine and it seems to have a little more valve noise now. Only a few of the valves need changing so I may be imagining...

    Marcus at ft knox gone

    My understanding from talking to one DRMO manager and GL reps from two different regions is that if the property is still DRMO's the government pays shipping. If it has been transferred to GL then GL pays or reimburses for shipping. Like others I've watched trucks go from the NYARNG to...

    First time GL'er. Need advice for bidding.

    Due to the 15 minute "dynamic bidding" policy if you wait unit the last minute you'll take longer to get the thing over with. If you bid your max at 15 minutes before the auction ends you'll find out sooner if the first item is going over your budget and could move on. I'd advise that you...

    Brake shoe adjustment... which is which?

    As stated above the upper adjusters are for minor adjustments such as restoring pedal free travel so you don't push the pedal halfway to the floor before braking starts. If the ruck pulls to the side on braking, brakes grab etc, do the major adjustment. If you have not done a major adjustment...

    Lifting safety what are you using

    We use a large heavy duty engine hoist with the boom through the passenger side door and a 1/2 ton chain fall to drop things like the transmission and transfer case. The military issues 8-ton bottle jacks for an M35A2 and it will do anything you need to do. In the shop we use a mix of 6-ton...

    Air compressor

    A padded 2' pipe wrench will work as a compressor wrench. Also, if you have a jig saw , 0r similar saw, you can make a field expedient pulley wrench from a chunk of plywood. Liberally douse the pulley threads with penetrating oil a bit before starting. Loosen the two 9/16" bolts, hold the...
