If you want some of the oil field trucks, just wait a short while. The oil patch is collapsing, again. Operators are not putting oil wells back into production because of the high cost of services. Drilling costs are sky high, only shallow gas wells are being drilled now. The drop in crude...

The primary fuel filter is located under the alternator. The large bolt head directly under it is the bolt holding the filter can. I replaced mine with the jatonka spin on primary. But, it is located in the same position. Look for the white can in the link...

I kind of like the orphans at an auction. I got a really nice M35a2 at OKC because of a dented fender and a missing headlight. It took electrical work, a replaced rear cross member and some body work to make it right, however. But, the cost for a M35a2 with a winch for $1200 was worth the...

I bought one from OKC in July. It had 'electrical' problems. It ran, no lights, no turn signals, no horn and at times the starter would not engage. When you get it home, search the electrical posts here and with a multi-meter and a long, really long, jumper wire it will all come together for you.

It appears there are three good looking M35a2c Air Force models with the emergency brake light, one non drop side and one with a winch. One other c model, no brake light. At least I think those with the brake light are Air Force.

You may need to find out why the wire burned before you replace it.

With some minor testing, you might be able to sell those things.

I tend to agree with you generally. However, my experience in Civil War Re-enacting and collecting always leads me to caution anyone buying large and interesting military equipment to always make sure they have good title. I also agree that nothing is 'illegal' but I also point out it is a...

I do not think foreign armor presents the problems our surplus does. I just noticed you are in Canada so other rules apply there. You folks can own many weapons we cannot. And, of course, we can own many that you cannot.

Trey Moore of Moore Militaria bought one recently. It was one of the abandoned ones in New Orleans.

Well, when you are rich it does not matter. Dealing with me it may present a problem.:-D

I have an email to Alpha Heaven. They had hundreds of M135/M211 trucks at one time. Not so now.:cry:

The sale of property is governed by contract law. Unless title passes to a buyer, it belongs to whomever it belonged to in the beginning. I have no way of knowing what property is out there waiting for someone to 'buy' from a seller who does not 'own' it. Ross Perot, Jr., found this out the...

Do not do as I did and buy a new starter! It may not be needed. Just keep analyzing what is going on to pin point the problem. The light bulb idea is a good one. Post how that turns out.

Before you put money into it, find out who owns the thing! No kidding. If this was a static display somewhere at a VFW or the like it may still be US Govt. property. Check it out.

There are a few M113's in private hands. Mostly because the military will not sell them surplus to civilians is the reason. A caution to everyone buying former military equipment is to make sure you own it. Ross Perot, Jr., found out the hard way. Lots of equipment is loaned by the...

And to think, all this time I thought hitting the starter with a hammer was just sound discipline for the truck? Live and learn, I guess.:roll:

No idea. Just pointing out they are available. I paid $20 per shock. I do not know if that is cheap. It was much cheaper than Memphis, however.

Absolutely not my auction, but one you need to know about. eBay has a listing for the deuce seat shock absorber, hard to find! It is in the M35 NOS search. Another should be listed shortly. I got two.:-D If they are right, it is great. If not, not much ventured. I pass this on to you. I...

Help! I need the winch drive shafts and bearing from the PTO to the winch for the M135. You got? I need.
