Well, the rear main seal arrived from NAPA yesterday, and so now it's a matter of finding the time to get the beast apart. I also got the bows installed, and the end curtains arrived last week. The only thing left on that avenue is getting some repairs to the cargo cover taken care of. Or, we...

George- New filters, and everything? Matt

Star- How are you monitoring the pre and post filter pressures? Matt

ken- As I recall, Bjorn mentioned that by keeping it up on blocks, there was less temptation to "accept" it's current condition. I am sure it will be rolling around once it gets to the level that will not require it to go back up on blocks again. Matt

http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=10821&highlight=gear+oil Depends on how you wanna play things! Technically accurate (per the Lubr Order) = 90 w GL-1, sometimes sold as hydraulic oil for Ford Tractors Modern equivalent (per API specs) = 90w GL-5 + MT-1 Special...

kcimb- One of the few posting requirements of the forum is to include your location in your profile/signature. Check out the FAQs for more information. Matt

It is also possible to use a more modern gear oil, but you must be careful... If you go with a GL-5 without the additional MT-1 performance spec, you risk blowing up your synchros. The MT-1 spec certifies that the oil will be friendly to yellow metals. Matt :deadhorse:

SOOO?!?!!? How'd it go? matt

I am sure they have rulers for that... Matt

I think 2 day would be do-able... if we were at a venue that would allow dogs. If not, then 1 day. Matt

Dunno... just did a "M621" search. Sorry to cause distress. Matt

It's amazing..... spending a week on PMS has convinced me of two things: 1. I have defintely chosen the correct hobby. 2. LONG LIVE BIG GREEN IRON!!!! (that one's for you, Ron) Seriously, everytime I have to call it quits because of dark or schedule, I can't wait to keep working. I will report...

Hahahah... way to go lacoda. Want some more rocks to throw at another hornet's nest? :-) Thank you David for those interesting posts. Certainly things to ponder, or in lacoda's case, and excuse to stir up a $&!# storm. Matt

Ditto on the Walmart batteries... Mine have been used for 2 Michigan winters, always started easily no matter how cold, and with relatively short commute times. For $30 bucks apiece, they have earned their keep. Matt

Bob- I will definitely add Williamsburg to the proposed itinerary. As I mentioned in the PM... I had a change of orders, so I will not be departing MI until July 21-22. Sorry for the delay in getting pics of the progress!!! Tuesday night after work: Got wheels mounted on truck, and did the...

There is usually a data plate on the dash to assist with these sorts of identification issues. Also, the Army made up a whole bunch of manuals that assist with the identification and maintenance issues of these trucks. Check the technical manuals section. The M35 bed is 8 feet wide. The M34 bed...

Correct, houdel... the bed is the same width as the fenders and running boards. Plus, it has wheel wells that allowed for the larger tires to have the same range of travel and articulation as the 900 tires. But the hub flip is a HUGE step in the conversion. Matt

Run the search function, as this topic has been discussed at length numerous times. :deadhorse: Also, check out the gallery of "Super Singles Options" found in the photo gallery. Link here: http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=photoshare&func=showimages&fid=100 Matt ASPCA Disclaimer-...

It's an M35 variant that was produced for Norway. They have military produced air locking differentials - hence the ganged air switches. Must have for snow...

Have you Lima Charlie, how me? Matt
