The SF97 will come back with the date that you put on the SF97 application. If you put 1993 the SF97 will say 1993. If you put 1996, it will come back as a 1996. If you put 1993 on the applicaiton, you might be able to call GL and change it - don't know. I replaced the motor oil in my...

I have an M35A3 and have installed an M66 ring mount. All M35A3s come with the large cab reinforcement plate already installed. However, my A3 also has a top reinforcement plate the covers the rear top of the cab. As you can see in the photos, there is no room between the poles and the rear...

Nice looking truck. You should be able to find the missing rack fairly easily. Check with the seller - he may have it separate from the truck.

WM, I don't go into any of my screwups - I've had more than my share and try to keep them quiet, but I feel your pain. I hope you find the parts you need for a reasonable cost.

You are correct, breating the dust is very bad. Also, cuts from beryllium don't heal and sometimes the doctor will have to cut a lot of tissue away from the wound before it will heal. I didn't know you were a chemist. Another use for beryllium that you might find interesting is that it is...

All of the engines in A3s have the 1993 tag on the engine. This doesn't mean that you can't title it as a later truck. Mine was titled in Georgia as a 1998. I looked at every date tag I could on the truck, especially axle rebuild tags, winch hydraulic tag, etc. Most of my tags were very late...

Beryllium is a very common alloy of copper for many uses, not just electrical connectors. Most BeCu alloys range from about 0.25 - 3% beryllium. A small amount of beryllium will greatly change the properties of Cu. BeCu alloys have magnetic properties near unity. They machine easily without...

I feel your pain. I dropped a wrench down inside my blower housing once. I took out all the obvious bolts and could never get the blower housing removed, although it was loose. Fortunatley, i was able to snag the wrench and get it out so I never completely removed the blower housing. I'm...

My problem was that I went to the DMV office run by the State of Georgia in Hapeville. I finally got my title by going to my local DMV office in Towns County. I didn't do anything except take the SF97, Paid in Full Invoice, proof of insurance, and the DMV T-22B form where a LEO verified the VIN...

You might want to try what I did. My M35A2 came from the PA National Guard. I received all of my information from Carnac on the vehicle and confirmed it by sanding. Like yours, mine was somewhat difficult to read after sanding. I googled the unit, got the unit's telephone number, and called...

You can usually sand off the paint on the bumper and get to the numbers. You already have everything you need except the vehicle number. The left bumper will have the division and battalion. The right bumper will have C - (veh #). TB 746-93-1 is a good guide. I attached a copy. Your truck...

You are correct - it is a Baldor head and parts are available from Baldor. The fuel tank and some other items are also Baldor. Baldor also sells a wheel kit that will fit the genset.

The Wisconsin Robin GenSet takes an Interstate SP-40 battery, which is 340 CCA. It really spins the engine fast.

I used the invoice from GL for the value.

I believe the starter solenoid disks are made from a tempered beryllium-copper alloy. If it is a BeCu alloy, be careful and not breathe the dust or cut yourself because anything containing beryllium is toxic.

I had a similar blowout on my A3 during the recovery from Sparta in January. Fortunately, it was on the front rear axle, passenger side. The tire also caught fire. It was hard to control the truck when it blew - I can't imagine what it would have been like if a front tire blew.

First of all, welcome to Steel Soldiers. I have an A3 and I simply ran wiring from one battery up into the cab. Very easy and works well. I terminated with a fused cigarette lighter receptacle. I plug CBs, GPS, radios, etc. with no problem. If you are trying to run something that is high...

I never shut mine down while refueling with diesel. Saves wear and tear on the starter as well.

That's good!

Gillespie 24087 holds up really well if you give it a chance to completely cure before stressing it. It seems to remain soft and scratch easily the first few days, but wears extremely well later. Use multiple light coats.
