    Pow'R Gard 30D36R 3kW Diesel Generator

    Mine doesn't have that valve either. Mine was also missing the fuel filter but these are readily available from any Robin dealer. The original part number was replaced by an upgrade, which needs to have a small piece of the plastic cut out by a pocket knife or diagonal cutters. If anyone...

    Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You will find excellent support here for both deuces and gensets. http://www.smokstak.com is another good site for MEPs if you haven't been there yet.

    BM, I just noticed a typo on your post. Should be DOT 5 silicone brake fluid, not DOT 6.

    Canvas cargo cover question.

    I have seen the word 'front' on both the inside and outside on both M35s and other vehicles and trailers.

    how does gl define 3 days to pay?

    Credit card works best and you don't have to worry about fraud on your card. Liability is limited to $50.00 max and most cards don't even make you cover that. I use American Express and have never had an issue after many transactions with GL over the years.

    Inner stud thread

    What should be and what is are not necessarily the same. You can visually look at threads and tell whether they are right or left hand.

    Deuce Seating Position

    You can always find someone willing to swap the older seat setup for your springer seat. I like the older seat because of the storage space under the seat, but it is definitely less comfortable.

    M35a3 seed

    Bigger tires is about all you can do and obviously there is a limit how much bigger you can go. You can also run the tires at 55 - 60 psi. This won't make the truck go any faster, but it does ride and handle better. Minimizes the wobble as well. You are limited to 60 psi max due to this...

    M35A3 Air Pressure Problems

    DH, I saw thr priority valve on the TM and it appears to me to be a valve that cuts off if the line to the emergency gladhand valve in the event of failure of that line or anything attached to it. I have fully traced out all the pneumatic lines on both the truck and in the TM to understand how...

    M35A3 Air Pressure Problems

    Update. I disconnected both connectors from the CTIS on the steering column. This had no impact on the problem, so I'm still trying to understand exactly how the compressed air system operates.

    M35A3 Air Pressure Problems

    I went to drive the A3 to the coffee shop this morning and it let me down. I ended up driving the A2, which seems to never have any problems. After starting the A3 engine, the air buzzer came on and never went off. The air pressure gauge never built up any pressure. After 2 - 3 minutes, a...

    How did you guys drive home? documentation?

    In Georgia they will give you a temporary tag for free. However, I did not post it as tape wouldn't stick to the CARC. Make sure you drive through the weight stations - they almost always wave you through thinking you are military.

    M35a3 fuel problem

    When you drain the fuel / air separator, it is common that the drain is plugged up. Open the petcock and use a piece of welding rod, etc. to clear the drain. Mine was full of **it and I had to keep poking it free to clear it. Leave the pump running while clearing it, but be prepared for a...

    Removing deuce wheel, I'm at a loss

    I was taking a wheel off of a 50s vintage vehicle once. I found that there was a mix of left and right hand studs on the same wheel. Fortunately, when I couldn't get some to come loose my Dad noticed the mix of L and R markings. He never assumed anything. I changed out the incorrect studs.
