Make certain that you turn off the CTIS system, even if it appears to be working. Check the pressure manually. The truck will drive better with 50 psi pressure in the tires. Check the pressure again after about an hour of driving. Take a standard set of tools with you. Make sure you have a jack...
I would make sure you have adequate liability coverage. I have mine at $300,000 and $100,000 for property. A Deuce can eat an expensive car for lunch. $125.00 per year sounds awfully inexpensive.
Getting the correct clearance is critical. You can damage the transmission and/or PTO if not set correctly. If I remember correctly, I used six standard gaskets to get the correct clearance. It's different with each transmission/PTO combination. Difficulty in shifting the transmission is one...
I would buy a set of troop seats. Building a set from scratch would be a great deal of work. You can get a set of troop seats for a reasonable price in good condition and cheaper in poor condition ready for refurbishment.
Congratulations on your new A3! I picked mine up at Sparta as well in January and drove it home to Georgia. I'm assuming that you mean that your low air pressure buzzer keeps buzzing won't shut off? Check and make sure the petcocks on the tanks are closed. If already closed, open for a while...
We need more information. When it was having difficulty starting was the starter spinning the engine at a reasonable rate? If so, you have a fuel problem - filters, air in lines, etc.
I think going to the automatic was a mistake. The automatics are very reliable, but I consider the vehicles vulnerable when starters, batteries, etc. fail. I have push started many a vehicle in the past with manual transmissions.
Don't worry about it - now you know. I'd keep this thread alive and delete your original post on the other thread. Although, actually this thread should have been under Upcoming Events. Was it you that telephoned me? If so, please call again.
I'm fairly certain I'll be there either with my M35A3 or M35A2. If my son-in-law comes, we'll bring both, pulling M149A2 water buffalo and M105A2 trailers.
I definitely intend to go to the show in Blue Ridge, GA. Someone called and left a message about the show, but my wife accidentally deleted it before I got it. Please call again.
At least three of us intend to convoy at least part of the way to the show. If anyone else is interested, please...
The M35A3 can only be started with the starter functional. The M35A2 can be pull or push started if the starter is out of commission. In this regard the A2 is more tactical in my mind.
I would recommend drill stopping the crack(s) and then brazing a piece of metal on the back side, assuming that you can get to it. I would then grind out the crack through to the backing plate and then braze the gap in the door (ground out crack) to the backing plate. Body filler will finish...
Sell it to a guy in in area that doesn't require a title with the understanding that he sells it back to you once he has it registered. I'm sure PA would register it then if it had a legal registration from another state. All you need are bills of sale.
