    OK, Puzzle Me This

    Working on the new M35a2. I have power to the turn signal and to the flasher. It worked a couple of days ago, along with the turn signals and flasher. My brake light switch was stuck in the on position and the pig tail to the trailer socket was cut in half. I fixed the pig tail, properly...

    Bad Brake Light Switch?

    Brake lights are always on. Both the BO brake lights and regular brake lights. I think the switch must be stuck. I will check to make sure it is not on the wrong side also. Your thoughts?

    M66 Ring Mount Reinforcement Plates for M35?

    My builder says they will go up $10 to $110 plus $50 shipping, if anyone is still interested in acquiring one. If there is some interest I will have another half dozen fabricated. The only question is whether or not there is still an interest. This get rich scheme is working better than...

    Hey, Bjorn! Help!

    The new M35 has not one light working. I have put new grounds front and rear marker lights today. Looking at the wiring diagram, I think I should start on wire 15 leading into the light switch to see if it is hot. Then go from there. Your thoughts? PS: I need another of the turn signal...

    Stone Shields, Anyone?

    I am getting new stone shields for the front bumper on my M135 made. I found while duplicating the M35 cabin brace that it is not a great deal more expensive to make a dozen or so at the same time. I am going to make up to 12 sets of the shields, if anyone is interested. Same shape, same...

    Air Tank Ooops!

    While trying to remove the air tank drain valve, it broke off in the tank. David apparently tried to remove it. Apparently, after drilling the hole, it appears to be very close to the threads. Any suggestions on how to remove the remaining bronze?-
