I have an M35A3. It originally came with a steel hood and insulation secured with the round fasteners. The hood was severely rusted everywhere those fasteners were located. I replaced the old steel hood with an NOS fiberglass hood and no insulation. I couldn't tell any difference in the...

I noticed that the new chainsaw listed was a Model CS05. The Stanley chainsaw that came with my FLU419 was a Model CS06 . I'm not sure of the difference. Are you sure it will fit into the holder in the tool cabinet? The price is sure good.

Try United States of Freight. ( @unitedstatesoffreight ) I had them ship a FLU419 from Pennsylvania to Georgia for me. They did a fantastic job and their price was significantly lower than anyone else I could find.

One was a long Proto adjustable wrench and the other was a Ridgid pipe wrench. I started with the Proto adjustable wrench and a Craftsman open-end wrench, but the Craftsman wrench failed. The crazy thing is that the Ridgid pipe wrench I used was an old pipe wrench with a lot of wear on the...

I wonder if that stuff would be good to spray on the wire rope on a winch? When I received my M35A3 W/W it had very low mileage and the winch wire rope had never been unwound. The wire rope was sprayed the entire length with something like that RP-342 and the outer layer of wire rope on the...

I finally got the hydraulic couplers loose from the hydraulic hose. I had to use 5 foot cheater bars on the wrenches for both fittings. Once they broke loose, they both unscrewed by hand. I was really afraid something was going to break with that much force. The good news is that the new...

Kenny, I just bought the GMKT from Luis1982. Picking it up tomorrow.

GM Fluid 12378398 Rubberized Aerosol Undercoating. I've used this product and found it very good. You can find it on Amazon and other places.

I would suspect U-joint. Put it on a lift with it running and get under it.

Good news update! While forcing the reel to unwind so that I could clean the hydraulic hoses and interior of the reel, which was covered with grease and dirt. When I had the reel almost completely unwound, I heard a very loud pop/clang from the spring area. At first I thought that I had...

I got a text from the owner. The Burma Jeep has the original 6 cylinder engine.

After reading the TM, I found that the hydraulic hose reel is a U.S. manufactured Hannay N-617-19-20C.SR. This model is not listed specifically on the Hannay website, but they do sell a new reel labeled N-617-19-20-10.5J. They go for ~$600.00 new with ~$200.00 shipping. I found several...

I would obtain a good quality modern gauge and check your oil pressure. Reading just above the L at idle on an antique gauge wouldn't give me any comfort that your oil pressure is OK. If your engine was just rebuilt, you don't want to damage it.

Have you checked with NAPA or others? A lot of auto parts stores stock a large assortment of studs.

I pull my XM1061E with my M35A3 and previously with my M35A2 before I sold it. I only load bulky loads on the trailer with minimal weight. That trailer pushes my deuces around even when completely unloaded. No way would I ever attempt to pull it with a pickup!

M1061A1 trailer requires air for the brakes.

Whenever possible, I always record the serial number when I want something rebuilt to make sure I get the same unit back.

The ad also lists the engine twice, once as a 4 cylinder and once as a 6 cylinder.

Is this something new happening? I would recommend letting the air pressure build up and then shutting down the engine. Then press the brake pedal and see where the air is coming from. With the engine running there is a lot of noise. On my M35A3 you can hear the air packs operating when you...

I decided to try out some of the hydraulic tools that came with my FLU, namely the jack hammer. I have to drive about a half mile down a gravel / dirt road to get to my property. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains and there is a lot of rock everywhere, including the road. There are some very...
