All M35A3s didn't have the lock-up 1545 transmission. Some have the 545 which is similar but doesn't lock up. I have one as well, so the total is 14.

I got lucky and only paid $25.00 for my NOS 25 foot slave cable, because the spot welds on the spring cover had come apart. I still need to fix it, but it works the way it is.

I believe you got your A3 at the same sale I did and many of the A3s at Sparta during that sale had low mileage like mine. I find it too much of a coincidence that the clutches went out on your Allison at the very instant you changed out your fluid. I'm wondering if there is not an air pocket...

If you think that cable is heavy, you should try the 50 foot slave cable!

Nice looking truck! I'm glad you made it home safe and with no further issues. Enjoy your truck.

I would think you could find a used one a lot cheaper than having one made for you. If you do have one made, you might want to try to borrow an A2 from someone for the shop to copy the bed from. This will have to be very expensive.

If a Deuce was purchased in the U.S. and a EUC (End Use Certificate) was required, there are significant restrictions. 1. The vehicle cannot be transferred to a non-U.S. citizen, even if they have permanent residency in the U.S. 2. The vehicle can only be legally exported out of the U.S. if...

What truck are you talking about?

You need to pull the trans top off. It's easy to do and doesn't take much time.

Sorry about your A2 and good luck with the 2nd engine My A2 definitely will gain several hundred RPM as it warms up, but not to a critical point. However, I saw a Deuce multi let go when I was in the Army. We were standing near the truck when the engine, which had been idling suddenly gained...

I need to move an M35A3 composite hood from Washington State to Georgia or somewhere in the SE. Send me a PM.

Ditto on the fuel filter. Eliminate the simple things first. If you just got the A3, you need to change out the fuel filter anyway. I also agree on replacing the transmission external filter as it is extremely easy to do and very cheap.

When I lost 5th gear, I simply swapped out the transmission. You can find take-outs very cheap. I did the clutch and PP at the same time, although mine was working fine. Bottom line is never start out in 2nd gear.

:ditto:

I may be crazy, but I just went out into the pouring rain to look at my tire codes. All of the tires on my truck have 93 as the last two digits, indicating they were manufactured in 1993, including my spare which had the white sticker with a manufacture date of 05/88. It clearly stated this...

I know what you are going through I was in an earthquake in Tianjin, China a few years ago and the building was swaying like crazy, everything falling down and machinery weighing several tons was sliding around. All I could think about was the cheap and shoddy construction of the building...

When I picked up my A3 in Sparta, I had driven approximately 700 miles towards home, when I blew a tire in Kentucky. I had the spare mounted. There was a white Michelin sticker on the tread portion of the spare tire that had a manufacture date of 05/88. My truck is a 98 model, so this tire...

When I was in the Army in the early 70s, it was very common to steal vehicles from another unit not nearby and swap the dataplates and change the registration #s on the hood as well as the unit information between the two vehicles. We did this right before inspections. We would go cruising...

When you drained the oil was it clean and clear? Did any visible trash come out? Based on your symptoms it sounds to me like low fluid pressure. I would definitely change the internal filter before proceeding. Also, when I changed out from motor oil to Dextron III, I also did the drain and...

Welcome to SS Shack! You will find a lot of good information here. If you are interested in getting a Deuce, I recommend that you read as much as you can before jumping in.
