    M35A2 -good fuel to mechanical pump but dribbles from outlet?

    Roger that! Glad you had success. I should have heeded the advises given also..(Gimp and rusty (amongst others) Took "Virtual HAMMERS!" to my head before the advise finally sunk in and the NOT so obvious cure was applied.

    Offloading Tracked Vehicles

    Nobody died?..that is very hard to believe. There is more to indicate a fatality than not in my opinion.

    M35A2 -good fuel to mechanical pump but dribbles from outlet?

    Fine looking truck, post up the journey home with pictures. (rather than disconnect everything, why not put the M1009 in the back?).

    Best gear oil in 2.5 ton axle
