    Higher Air Pressure For A2 Than A3 At Emergency Port

    Mine stays at zero psi and then jumps to 120 as well and every A3 I've seen does the same thing. I've been told that this is normal, but I don't know why. I'm going to study the A3 compressed air system in detail and find out what is going on. I really don't think anything is wrong with the...

    Higher Air Pressure For A2 Than A3 At Emergency Port

    No ideas why A2 air is stronger than A3 air?

    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    An update on my title problems for my M35A3. As reported previously, I re-submitted my title application through my local DMV county office (Towns County) after having been declined at the main state office. I have now received a letter from the Georgia Dept of Revenue stating that I owe 7% of...

    Battery Cell Caps

    I agree - slow charging is much better on the batteries.

    Gonna need some help please!!

    Congratulations on winnning your deuce! Call the local GL rep and ask if he thinks the truck will run, if it was driven onto the site. He may also know if it has a brake pedal or if it goes to the floor. The brakes are the most important part. Also ask if they can slave it for you to start...

    Higher Air Pressure For A2 Than A3 At Emergency Port

    While replacing a rear wheel on my M35A3 with one I picked up from Big Camo Truck, I needed to use my 3/4' impact wrench to loosen the lug nuts. I hooked up to the emergency port on my A3 and was only able to remove one lug nut. Raising the RPM to 1500 allowed me to get another one loose. I was...

    Finally Got a deuce

    Congratulations on getting a Deuce! You will enjoy the recovery. I'm assuming you got an M35A2? If you want to make the ~200 mile trip to Hiawassee in the North Georgia mountains, I have both an M35A2 and M35A3 and you are welcome to drive either. Neither is difficult to drive, especially...

    Winch PTO gaskets

    If I recall correctly, my PTO took five or six gaskets to get it right. These gaskets come in different thicknesses, so the number of gaskets that works for one person is likely not to work for someone else. All of the PTO gaskets are standard shape and are available very inexpensively at...

    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    This letter will undoubtedly help tremendously in my fight, as well as others in the same situation. I'm not about to give up on this.

    sae 50w oil

    If you really want SAE 50, go to a wholesaler and buy it in bulk. I'm using 80/90 GL-1 in my transmission, Xfer case, and axles of my A2. When I picked it up from GL that was what was in it. Works fine and no issues with shifting in or out of 4th or any other gear.

    M37 idles fine but just dies unexpectedly when being driven.

    Now that I think about it, it could also be the condenser.

    M37 idles fine but just dies unexpectedly when being driven.

    I once had a similar issue with a non-MV and didn't know for certain whether it was fuel or spark related. I took a timing light and put it inside the vehicle where I could see it. I selectively put the pickup on the coil wire and then each spark plug wire and drove it each time. I proved that...

    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    I have now re-submitted my SF-97 paperwork with the Towns County local office in Hiawassee. They agreed that I shouldn't have any problems, getting a title for my A3, but they acknowledged that the State motor vehicle dept is full of politically correct people that don't like MVs and others...

    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    Unfortunately, I'm not talking about the emission inspectionrequired in the metro counties. I live in Towns county and we are not subject to this law. The EPA certificate they want is from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and covers the engine and vehicle showing that the combination...

    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    I got the S/N from the dataplate on the dash. Carnac ran the number and came up with the same unit information printed on the bumpers and a year of 1997. Carnac is very good at what he does.
