I made it home safe after 3-1/2 hours back to Hiawassee. I would have made it sooner but I broke down again in the A3. I could only make 30 mph when I finally rolled in. Woody looked at it and thinks it's the high pressure pump failing. This was the best rally yet! I even broke even on...

Thanks much for letting me ride several times in your M37! I really enojoyed it and thanks for your work on the trails. I finally got home after a 3-1/2 hour drive and only broke down once on the return trip in my A3. I broke down twice on the way down. Still haven't completely unloaded. I need...

Try brake cleaner, but as above, spot test it first. It takes off the marks from GL.

Where is the meter at when idling? Is it on the mark as it should be. As others have said, the only thing in common is the belt. You can usually look at the belt and see if it has been slipping. You might want to just go ahead and replace the belt since it probably needs it anyway if you...

The A3 is all packed and loaded up. Departing Hiawassee at 0900 and meeting redthegreendog in Baldwin. From there we meet up with Gunnermac and Streamline in Danielsville at 1200, and possibly some others. Should arrive around 1300 - 1330. I had one hickup. When I went to load the A3, one...

It's still pouring down rain here in Hiawassee! I bought me a new rainsuit today, otherwise loading the truck would be impossible. My bows are in place, so I'll hang a tarp over the truck, clean the water and leaves out of the bed and lay another tarp on the bottom. Then, load my stuff and...

One trick to check the compresson and see if a valve is sticking open is to leave the fuel shut off and engage the starter. The engine should turn over evenly. If you get a skip where the engine speeds up, that cylinder has lower compression. Mind you, this is a very primitive qualititive...

The convoy from North GA is now growing again. Redthegreendog will be joining up in Baldwin. Another truck may be joining me in Hiawassee. Anyone else wanting to join the convoy, let us know.

Well, I finally got my steering air leak fixed on the A3. Haven't loaded anything yet, but have most of it staged for loading. Been doing PM, topping off fluids, air in tires, etc. I can't load yet because although it is bright sun now, it's supposed to start raining in a few hours and...

Do you have the TMs? You can get them at JATONKAM35s HOME ON THE WEB . Your link in your post doesn't work. It is not difficult to replace the seals.

Well, I guess I couldn't wait any longer. I flew my Cessna 152 down to Durhamtown and took some pretty lousy photos from the air with my cell phone. No MVs in sight yet, but that will change shortly. There was a very large fire very close to Durhamtown and the smoke made visibility poor, making...

Glad to hear you didn't get hurt or hurt anyone else! The icing on the cake is that your truck wasn't damaged. One problem with an A3 is the automatic transmission. On the A2 you can gear down and even shift into low range to get it slowed way down as long as you have room. Although you can...

If it's not one thing, it's another! I was doing my final PM on the A3, hitched up the water buffalo and was going to take it for a drive. Ker-pow! An airline on the air assisted steering blew, right where the tight bend is where it connects to the actuator. Instant pressure drop to zero...

Congratulations - - enjoy your truck and post some pictures!

Very nice! Thanks for the photos.

The M35 series of truck are of excellent design and have served the military well. Those of us that have served in the military and driven the M35 or seen the M35 operate in extreme conditions with minimal problems know the truth. I'm done with this thread - you need to get a life.

The easiest way to tell when someone has a complete set of legs is that all three legs are different. The right and left are straight and the front is not. I only saw one plate for the drivers side. However, it is very easy to duplicate an existing plate.

DOT 5 is a silicone based brake fluid and is superior. it is hydrophobic, meaning that it will not absorb water. It tends to be very expensive when purchased retail. However, you can easily find it for sale in one gallon or more quantities from MV parts supply houses for a reasonable price...

This is not correct for the M35A3. The weight goes directly against the wheel with one nut holding it on and it is oriented correctly, not upside down. The spare is not supposed to have a wheel weight, because when the spare is mounted, the CTIS is not installed. You can airdown the tire, and...

Nice looking trailer. Congratulations on a good recovery.
