I am thinking about buying one of Uncle Sam's old diesel gensets and I found one for sale about 200 miles away. The guy claims not to know a whole about the genset he is selling, but he did say it is an Onan 10KW genset with a Deutz 2 cylinder air cooled diesel with 3000 hours, and it runs...

WillWagner is far more knowledgable on diesel engines than I am, but I am still going to use an additive in my old diesels until CJ-4 has been OTR for awhile. Up until a few months ago I was still able to buy CI-4, but now it is scarce as hen's teeth in my area. It may cost me a little extra...

I am an overly-well-fed 6' old guy and I drove my deuce ~480 miles in one day. :driver: :driver: Aside from a trip to the bone-crusher to adjust my back it was a great trip. :D :D :D I have had my deuce for almost 3 years and I love it. [thumbzup] [thumbzup] [thumbzup] I hope to add a...

FWIW - I have read some bad things about the new CJ-4 rated low emissions diesel motor oil related excessive wear on engines with flat tappets, so you may want to use an oil additive like ZDDP+, SFR 100 or D-SOL or see if you can find the coveted CI-4 rated oil.

Well said DDoyle

Mine idles @ 750 and the oil pressure @ operating temperature is 45 idle and 65 @ 2000 with Delo 15W-40

I got my Interstate 6TLs from my local NAPA, but they were pricey. The batts are just over 2 years old and still doing fine,

How about going with Red, White and Blue for a patriotic look??

Re: RE: M800 series doing Rail duty It probably is slow, but faster than the Willys MB they converted for rail use in WW II. IIRC - The Willys was tasked with moving a 20 ton consist.

Re: RE: jumpstart Kenny - Did you try your local NAPA? I know the NAPA in my town takes batteries even if I am not buying a new one from them.

Spare tire/wheel, left rear mud flap assy (the sheet metal piece), drive shaft from PTO to front winch and the PTO control lever and mounting hardware that goes in the cab.

:ditto: That truck looks likes like a good candidate for restoration. I sure wish I could find a truck like that in my area. Thanks for posting the picture and good luck with the truck.

That looks like a great setup for the engine draft tube. I would be interested in hearing how it works out after some field testing. My only concern would be that oil residue and dirt will cake around the seat after some miles and prevent the ball from sealing the seat properly.

IIRC - M35s were orignally designed with a gasoline engine, not a diesel.

I bought mine because I wanted a truck that looked cool, was relatively simple to maintain (No computers or electric whatits), has a greater load capacity than a 1 ton piclup and it looks cool. Also, I like things OD in color, diesels and trucks that look cool. BTW - Did I mention what cool...

Anyone know of any military truck salvage yards in WA state?

Wow a free M139!!!! You cannot beat that!!! I how you will post some pics of the truck when you pick it up.

You came to the right place for M35 info. There are some very knowledgeable folks on this site that are always willing to share their wisdom. Don't forget to post pics of your truck when you get it.

:ditto:
