The hydraulic drill is new and unused. Still has the tag attached, but doesn't have the quick couplers. Has plastic protectors on the ends of the hoses. I just ordered a set of couplers on Ebay.

I finally got around to removing the hydraulic and hand tools from the bins on the SEE. It looks like everything is in very good condition. I need to test everything, but I'm optimistic.

Nice looking A3! I love mine. It's good you don't have the motor oil in your transmission. The hydraulic fluid in yours will make it shift much better than with the motor oil. I don't worry about weight. I routinely carry up to 3,000 - 4,000 lbs in mine and I sometimes pull a very heavy...

If you have the 1545 transmission, you have the lock-up torque converter. If they installed a 545 transmission, you don't have the lock-up feature. When you are driving the truck, you can easily feel the torque converter lock up. From a stop, you can count the four gear changes in the...

Do you have the lock-up torque converter? Some A3s came with them and some didn't. Mine has it.

I tried it at a very low idle as well as higher RPM. No go, but then I didn't know the trick of reversing the control. I just found a video on You Tube about the same issue on a CASE 580K backhoe. It shows the guy reversing the control at the last minute to latch the lock, although the lock...

I now have all of the hydraulics working on my SEE. All of the controls move smoothly, including the swing pedals. I removed all of the control rods and cleaned all rust off and repainted them. I greased everything thoroughly before re-installation. I also dismantled the control tower and...

Welcome to the site. I had an M35A2 W/W and really enjoyed it for many years. I regret selling it. You will enjoy yours.

I think you should do very well with these. I just asked for a quotation from the original manufacturer. They have 3 in stock at $750.00 each! It's no wonder our taxes are so high.

My M35A3 always starts almost instantaneously. It never turns over more than half a revolution before it fires up. It starts up much faster than my M35A2 multifuel ever did. One thing to be aware of on M35A3s is the check valve in the fitting on top of the fuel tank. Small amounts of trash...

I'm not sure why you installed an electric fuel pump and did the bypass. I would recommend bringing the fuel system back to original. Take the alternator off and have it checked out by a shop. Make sure they know ahead of time that it's a 24 VDC alternator.

I'm assuming you are talking about the red switch on the tower? It is actually an air valve. I've seen them on Ebay in the past. It's not good to bypass that valve. You can look in the TM for the manufacturer and part number, but I did it for you. The NSN is: 4820013688562. The part...

Edit: I was having problems with the swing pedals on my backhoe. I worked out the problem and everything mostly now works like it should with the swing pedals. I have also fixed the problem with my left stabilizer. I'm slowly working through issues.

You might want to see if someone in your area has an M35A3 that you can look at to see which air lines go where. Sometimes, looking at diagrams and text in the TMs doesn't make things clear. You don't want to make a mistake and switch the two airlines.

I had a similar experience with one of my deuces (not a dump) a few years back. I wrote down 1,000 pounds. They added a zero and put 10,000 pounds in. Actually not overloaded since I was on paved roads 95% of the trip and deuces are rated for 5 tons on paved roads. However, I had several...

I agree. Jatonka's site is by far the best way to get M35A3 TMs. The URL is: http://www.jatonkam35s.com/

Have you read the TMs? The TMs show exactly where the airlines are hooked up. TM 9-2320-386-24-1-2 shows specific instructions on the removal and installation of the transmission, including airline.

Gillespie paint is not CARC. It is a CARC substitute that matches the color of CARC very closely. It holds up very well in my experience. As far as urethane paint goes, airplanes are painted with urethane paint and they don't seem to have a problem. I repainted my Cessna 152 years ago with...

I have painted several military vehicles and trailers with Gillespie 383 green. I have put it directly on top of the CARC. Even more than 10 years later, I haven't had a problem with pealing or anything else. The only place I've used primer is where I've encountered rust. I remove as much...

The rod that goes through the engine was really bound up with rust. I've been spraying white lithium grease and mostly freed it up. I disconnected the linkage from that rod on the drivers side. I can now shut the engine off by manually moving the linkage to the injector pump to the rear. One...
