I'm willing to work the Registration / Front Gate. Just let me know what times you need me. I plan on arriving sometime mid-Wednesday and staying through Sunday.

Definitely bring the M-Gator. I believe you will be the first to bring an M-Gator.

Welcome to the site. You have a nice looking truck there. You'll have a lot of fun with it. Keep us posted on what you do with it. Looks like you need a new headlight though. For some reason, my A3 loses headlight bulbs regularly. They don't seem to last nearly as long as on my A2, which...

Be careful assuming that the air leaks are from the large O-rings. Although leaking O-rings are possible, 100% of the air leaks on my A3 were caused by leaking grommets on the valve stems. It is a bad idea to break down an A3 wheel and not replace the valve stem grommets. I would recommend...

You can almost always get insurance ahead of time without difficulty because most states have a law that says your current insurance coverage will automatically apply for a certain period of time when you buy another vehicle. However, definitely check with your insurance company since your...

Ditto! My F-150 pulled mine fine empty, but be careful. Never try to pull one with a pickup with water in it!

Why do you think the problem is ignition and not fuel? In post #5 you mentioned that the engine ran for 5 minutes and then died when it was idling. This means that you had spark at that time. I would suspect a fuel problem at this point, but I would first eliminate some potential ignition...

Why only replace 3 of the plugs?

As Gimpy said, it could be the governor. I had to replace the governor on my A3. I also had to replace the air dryer. Is your pressure gauge reading zero pressure while air is being released? Is the low air buzzer on when it is releasing air? If so, it is likley the priority valve. I had...

I believe the deuce toe in should be .13 inches +/- .06 . It's in the TM.

I hope you showed this poor work / sabotage to GL! The best would have been to take photos and send them to DRMO with a write-up and copy your congressman.

Usually, if you have a severe toe in or tow out as extreme as you apparently have, you can look at the surface of the tire and see the direction of tire scrub. However, doesn't really matter if it has too much toe-in or toe-out because it needs to be fixed. As the last poster stated, look for...

Your battery box now looks new! Nice job.

I have all of my cars insured with USAA and my two deuces insured with State Farm. USAA knew all about my M35s but said that they would not cover them unless I told them they were pickups. Since USAA caters to military and veterans, I called up their head office and complained that they wouldn't...

I just paid State Farm for both my M35A2 and M35A3. I pay $321.00 for six months for the 1969 A2 and $292.00 for the 1998 A3. It's interesting that the newer truck has less insurance cost than the older one. Both are identical commercial policies for non-commercial use with $300K liability...

Once belts have been squealing awhile, they glaze over and need to be replaced - together. I hope you kept your original alternator because it sounds like it is probably still good.

Congratulations on a successful recovery! I'm glad everything went OK.

I've never done a recovery at Indianapolis, but the GL guys at Sparta are great. They helped me get my M35A3 going in the freezing cold and helped me check it out. Prior to the recovery, I contacted the GL reps at Sparta and asked for the name of a local wreckere company and telephone number...

I haven't done any modifications to the A3 or the A2. I don't burn anything but clean diesel in the A2. I've had to clean check valves in the A3 fuel system a couple of times, replace the compressor governor, replace the air dryer, replace the priority valve, replace a wheel seal, replace the...

I did buy both. Although I like both trucks, it seems like I'm always working on the A3 and driving the A2.
