Garwood has made thousands of these and they've all got brakes on the worm shaft. Pull the cap screws on the cover at the front of the worm side housing. There is a brake drum on the end of the worm shaft that has a strap style brake wrapped around it. The adjusting nut is underneath. The TM...

About two months ago there was a line of M35A3s at DRMO/GL Ft Drum that we were told were bound overseas. Oh well.......

If you don't already have a copy, go to the "RESOURCES" section and download the -10 manual for the truck. It covers the inspection, adjustment, operation and lubrication in detail. Check your local industrial supply houses or tractor supply store for "Open gear and wire rope lube" CRC...

All-righty then. I'd guess that "off road" means you'd be on unimproved roads and fairly well established trails? Blazing trails and path-finding are best done with experienced folks and more than one vehicle. The price range rules out a pinz. For modern MVs, it puts you into CUCV or deuce...

Hello, my name is Lance and, I'm an addict....... Hey Shawn, it's good to be able to enable budding addict! What, exactly, do you want to do "off road"? Just drive around? Get the family to a weekend at a new fishing hole? Tote 5 or 6 face cord of wood back to the homestead? What's your...

The fuel burning heaters will throw air hot enough to melt rucksacks and cook off ammo (one hell of a story!) if the duct work is short enough and they're on "HIGH" Like many other things dealing with MVs, remember you "operate" MVs, as opposed to "drive" them. You have to keep aware of the...

Last year was my first visit. I think it was the second year SSers got together there. The driving force behind the rally is trail driving and friendship. The trails are rocky and often wet. If my memory is correct, we assembled there late AM, got the rudiments of a camp set up, stripped all...

Bob-look at the link in the post above yours... Looking forward to seeing you there. Lance

The engine parts are readily available. We've got Wisconsin engines that are 70 years old and have no problems getting parts. The V4s, like nearly all Wisconsin engines are very well built. Keep the oil clean and make sure it has plenty of cooling air and clean screens on the cooling house so...

Some years back I bought a deuce from GL that had a similar cup holder to FRODO's. The difference was that it had the little leg that hooks over things trimmed back and it was tacked to the top of the dash with a self-drilling sheet metal srew. That made it a lot stiffer and it can't fall off...

I bought one at Picatinny last year that came out of the NJARNG with 11.00R20 XLs and the hubs flipped. Lance

Clinto, if the problem had surfaced 5 days later the truck would have been on the way to Aberdeen, 320 miles from home with a full load and trailer! Talk about dodging a bullet! I haven't touched a single thing with the MVs since Aberdeen. The next 10 days will be really busy then I'll get a...

I've got an M35A2 with an airshift transfer case that developed a problem and I'm looking for advice as to whether to repair it or replace it. I have the parts TM for the transfer but no maintenance TM and if the job needs any special jigs or fixtures I don't have them either. After exhibiting...

If you don't have the correct compressor pulley wrench a 2' pipe wrench will fit it. If it's frozen or stiff just use a rag as a pad to keep from scarring the pulley. Since it's a split sheave pulley, tightening the front half down has the effect of making the pulley diameter larger which, in...

1. Kevin's # is:602-377-5184. You can preview them. Make an appointment early-Kevin travels to other locations, too. 2. I've never gotten plates without having the SF-97 and didn't know you could do it. I did not need pics for the DMV but did for my insurance company, J. C. Whitney. They...

Once in awhile a data plate is removed for other reasons. I've seen them removed because the truck was modified. I know of cases where drop side beds were swapped for solid side beds or winches were removed prior to turn in and the data plates were removed or altered. I've got a trucks that...

Welcome to the site. I'm in Sennett, halfway between Auburn and Skaneateles. We, also, have a farm and a construction business so our trucks sometimes work for their feed. Many of the folks on the forum are experienced enough, or lucky enough, to check out their truck and drive it home. Some...

PM me the details. What kind of trailer is it on and what hitch will be needed? Who's got it? Lance

Good deal! Where'd ya go? Have you thought about joining us at Raush Creek this fall? Lance

Starting with the last question; These trucks can be more than 55 years old and the vast majority of deuces have single circuit brakes due to the single cylinder master cylinder. That tends to account for many of us being anal about brake preventative maintenance. Any big air pockets mean...
