Moto,
It's good to hear that you have your truck back - - and are enjoying it. I noticed that the more I drive my A3, the smoother the transmission shifts. I suspect that even though I did a large number of drain / refill cycles with the Dexron III, that there was still some motor oil trapped...
The Blairsville Garden Club in Blairsville, Georgia is having a plant sale this weekend. They needed to transport a large number of plants to the Union County Farmers Market today for the sale. I was asked to provide my two Deuces to help with the plant move. A friend drove my A3 and I drove...
My A3 came from Sparta as well, same auction and low miles/hours So far so good with the Allison transmission. I guess I got lucky. I used the drain and flush method to switch to Dexron III. Dexron III made the transmission operate much smoother. My only complaint with the drive train is...

It is likely that one of the three springs is missing or has come loose. It only takes a few minutes to check it out. Everything is easy to get to to see
When I replaced the clutch and pressure plate on my Deuce, I intended to replace the seal as well. My old seal did not leak a drop and several friends talked me out of replacing the seal. They had several stories of people replacing their old non-leaking seals with the result that their new...
You are correct about not starting out in 2nd. When I was in the Army it was forbidden to start out in 2nd. We were told that 2nd gear was the weak link in the transmission. I can't remember what bad things happen if you start out in 2nd.
First, I always start off in 1st gear. If I wind it out too high in 1st, or try to shift from 1st to 2nd too fast, it can be hard to get into 2nd. If I take it easy - - start out in 1st, but only get it up to 1 - 2 mph and then shift into 2nd at a reasonable speed, it goes right in without any...
That was me. I had some other business in Blue Ridge and stopped by to take a look. There will definitely not be a problem with having enough room. Sounds like an excellent plan in place to handle the vehicle ingress and egress from the site. There is a fair amount of traffic on the road...
I've used Imron on my airplane and was very satisfied with the wear durability, but the red color is fading fairly fast. The expense would preclude using it on MVs in my opinion. I've had great luck with Gillespie paints.
My wife would kill me in those circumstances, but I hope you can make it. I want to see your Ferret. Make sure you plan to attend the 2011 Georgia Rally in October. It is fantastic with a very large number of MVs of all types and many vendors.
We 'may' have another M35A3 or A2 coming. I talked on the phone last night with somebody that lives in Demorest, GA that has multiple A2 and A3 trucks. He sounded fairly enthusiastic.
