The air pressure regulators on A3 steering have a habit of failing. Mine failed on my A3 shortly after I received it from GL. I found NOS ones on Ebay and bought two for $15.00 each. I installed one, which is very easy, and kept a spare. No problems since. I dismantled the failed unit and...
The Rock Mountain fire in North Georgia and Western North Carolina has now burned about 14757 acres and is growing. The fire is only about 30% contained at present. The fire is about 6 or 7 miles from out house and about 3.7 miles from my sister-in-law's house. I've offered up both of my...
When your power is out and the 003A is running, that noise sounds pretty good. I wouldn't touch an ASK for the reasons previously mentioned. My 003A is trailer mounted and I keep it in the garage out of the weather. When running, I leave the garage door open for ventilation and the garage...
I finally rolled in around 6:00 PM. My M35A3 broke down on Apple Pie Ridge Road about 2 miles from US 441. The check valve on top of the fuel tank plugged up. The truck quit on a bad curve. I flagged down a guy in a pickup and he pulled me off the road. I found a farmer that lent me the one...
Unfortunately, I can't leave until late Wednesday afternoon. :cry: Looking forward to arriving sometime around 1700 - 1800. Going 45 mph from Hiawassee to Durhamtown in my M35A3 is anything but fast. Bringing a large list of things I need to buy and some things to sell. Hopefully, I'll find...
I'm keeping the CTIS on my truck. It works quite well, but I don't use it, I just leave it turned off. I run 60 PSI in my 14.5 X 20 tires and the truck runs much smoother with the higher pressure and I suspect my tires will last longer. I had to rebuild one hub when I first got the truck...
I'm still using the CTIS, so I think I still need the original valve stems. I just used my last spare one as a replacement for a very corroded one on a leaking tire/wheel. I still have two tires that leak down over two weeks and I don't want to tear them down unless I'm prepared for the worst...
Mike,
How much for the six deuce wheels? I have a friend in Hiawassee that is looking for deuce wheels and doesn't need the tires, so bald tires is not a problem.

I recently replaced my steel hood with an NOS fiberglass hood. What a difference! The fiberglass hood looks substantially better and is much lighter when raising and lowering. I don't have insulation on the fiberglass hood, but I can't tell any difference in noise levels from when the steel...
Give me a call. I have some good information regarding your Dad's deuce. Did you get your clutch fixed in time for the rally? I'll be arriving late Wednesday if everything goes according to plan. See you at the rally.
I need the following parts and I will be at the rally.
1. Wiper motor (air) for M35A2
2. Wheel valve stems for M35A3
3. Heater control cable for M35A3
4. Rust free drivers side fender for M35A3 or A2
5. Passenger side mirror rack for M35A3 (Different from A2)
6. Rear...
I'm all ready to roll out, leaving Hiawassee, and arriving late Wednesday afternoon. Checked all the fluids, brakes, lights, etc. I'll be pulling my M149A2 water buffalo. :-D:-D:-D
I'm almost ready. I have one of the wheels off my A3 replacing the O-ring and valve stem grommet. A real pain. The valve stem was so badly corroded I had to replace it with my only spare one. Unscrewing the brass nut twisted off the threads on the fitting. The other end was paper-thin. :grin:
The check valve on top of the tank gets clogged very easily since there is no filter in the tank. I have had to clean mine out twice now, even though the tank appears clean. The truck will start blowing white smoke and lose power. One caveat. When removing the line and elbow use extreme...
