OK, after messing with the steering box on and off, mostly off, for a couple of weeks, let me recount. First, there are differences in the trucks as they were not computer made parts. I got Military Vehicles No. 116, with the steering gear removal article. Close, but no cigar on my truck...

I recently got a gun ring re-enforcement plate for the M35 off eBay. Now the questions: What size pop rivets are used. Is there a TM on the mounting? How far apart are the rivets spaced?

I am going to McAlester, OK, next Wednesday, to the Army Ammo Plant to pick up some ammo cans. I have 151 cans approximately the same size as the .50 can. My cost will be around $2 per can. If you want some I will be in Sherman, Texas, on the way back around noon. I am meeting some other...

OK, I have a puller on and it is as tight as my impact wrench will take it. Not budging. Should I get a big hammer and bang away or head to Harbor Freight for some big time impact wrench?

I have been working on removing the steering gear box. Tough business. I have MV Mag, 116 with the directions. But, I seem to run into these screws and such in the path. This is one close fit. I may have it out in a couple of days. I just keep removing the bolts one at a time. I am on my...

I just got a surplus steering wheel puller, like new if not new, to remove the steering wheel on the M35 when I rebuild the steering gear. After I finish, I can lend it to anyone needing it. All you pay is the freight both ways.

What is the best way to remove the steering wheel? It has been on a long, long time.

OK, I got the civilian 66903 shocks. I cut the bushings in half. There are eight metal cups to hold the bushings on the original shock and only four on the replacement. Do I use only the four for the new shocks or use the old metal cups to fill out the assembly? Does the new bushing ride on...

Does anyone know a civilian parts number for the front shock absorbers on a M35?

I am looking to transport a winch and bumper to Texas

Put the jatonka spin on oil filters today. They look good and the oil pressure seems to come up quicker. A neat installation. Now, if only John would make spin on secondary fuel filter adapters, it would be a snap to change the filters. Hint! :)

Has anyone done a power steering conversion on a M35? I do not like the air assist much and thought a power steering conversion from a semi might be suitable.

I just got jatonka's spin on primary fuel filter kit installed on the deuce. Looks great, easier to change the filter and a quick install. Now we see how it performs.

Where do I find either a used starter for the M35a2 to rebuild or a rebuilt starter? With the recent problems, it is a matter of time before replacement.

Earlier today I was posting my frustration on getting the M35a2 started. FreightTrain suggested using a hammer to 'tap' the starter while cranking. Bingo! Started like a champ. David is out riding around showing off once again. :D Thanks for the tip guys. Oh, and I mentioned this BFH...

The M35a2 ran fine until it did not. :( Bought two new 6TL batteries, the solenoid clicks but the starter does not turn over. Bad starter?

I am particularly interested in the door leg socket hardware. Mine has rusty holes which appear to be threaded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My former M35 batteries coughed it up this week. So, I got to working on replacements. I found 6TL at O'Reilly's for $135 and figured they were a good enough deal. When I got to removing the batteries the connectors were in poor shape. So, I thought, why not O'Reilly's again? Sure enough...

After seeing pics on this site of deuces on the road to Amarillo, I kept a close watch on Friday. At Vernon, south side of 287 there are two deuces and a five ton. All gassers. One M35 manufactured in 1952, one M135 made in 1952 and a five ton gasser made in 1952. All are in rough shape but...

I need a M64 Pintle Adapter. sermis would not sell me his. :cry: It is not fair. You got? I will buy. :lol: Then everyone is happy!
