Greetings and happy new year to all,
Does anyone know how many CFM the air compressor on the M35A2 (or 809 series) make?
I am considering replacing a remote vacuum assist booster with my spare M35A2 air pack (the short one). I have electric on-board air now, a small 24v Thomas pump, being...

Greetings,
I have been looking for crash pad material for interior side walls. It is a 3/16", black, foam with a durable textured skin. The factory replacement stuff is similar but has a slightly different texture. Material like Volara doesn't have the skin and can be torn with a fingernail. The...

I assume a parachute is a military vehicle. I found an interesting Google Maps street view showing a 2014 USMC parachute training exercise near Okinawa. I found this after reading a CNN article about 9,900+ acres of US military base land the departing administration is giving away. As...
My pal Rob used to enjoy driving my M35A2 in the local Memorial Day parades. He has since moved to St. Charles, Mo. If anyone has more than one vehicle and is in need of a driver I'm sure Rob would be happy to do it. I have know Rob since high school. If interested give him a call, or email me...
Does anyone have easy access to a V100 speedometer drive gear? Maybe a loose transmission sitting around?
My nos NPG 542 is missing the speedometer drive gear (aka pencil gear) and its adapter (the small collar that holds it in/ cable hooks to). I need to know the tooth count for accurate...
Anyone know these markings?
Photos are all cropped from the same old Polaroid. Truck is a M706E1, Probably used by the Army, not Air Force, Marine Corps, ARVN... My guess US/F--, US/EO/8--.
1 CAV 1/9 was also found under paint.
Suggestions? (for the markings in photo). Thanks. Jim

I turned up my M813 PT pump a second time (1-1/4 total). I have a fuel press gauge on this unused plug (see arrow). I'm getting only 50psi when I go wot to 2100, no load. When I get to 2100 it drops quickly to 10psi. I must be doing something wrong.
Can the recommended 172-178 psi rail pressure...
I'm confused about the TM's instruction for crosshead adjustment. The first and second proceedure (example 3-16 and 3-63 below) both match and call for a dial indicator and setting of .025-.040. The third example, durning valve adj (3-83), is similar but lacks the dial indcator and preload of...
