    I Need The Steering Wheel Nut

    I had to chop mine off the M135 to remove the steering wheel. Where can I find a replacement? Grainger lists its 1JLX3 at $25 EACH! :shock:

    I had thought about that also. But, the high/lo switch is no problem either.

    Convoy Lights Power Plug?

    OK, never mind. I know I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. As Bjorn would say, check the grounds first, then go to the TM. Should not take more than half an hour tomorrow. Sorry for the dumbest question of the day. :oops:

    Convoy Lights Power Plug?

    Checking my wiring diagram, I kind of figured that might be a good location for it to connect.

    Convoy Lights Power Plug?

    I have the convoy lights from TNJ Murray. I also have some very fuzzy pics of blue print instructions. The convoy lights have a long wiring loom with two + Packard connector ends for the lights, two - wire end loops for the grounds and a long extension to go into the cab with one male Packard...

    Banging Metal

    I have been doing some crazy things of late. I have some 20 ton jacks lying about and some wood that is largely useless left overs. So, why not put the wood to some use. I have found by experimenting that using a hydraulic jack to stress metal with the wood as a ram extension and using a...

    Need Two Ammo Feed Trays

    I have one extra ammo tray. The type with the metal hold downs. If your legs are too short, take them to a welder. With a minor amount of work they fit just right. If you want the ammo tray, pm me.

    Flasher Relay Questions

    Flashers are subject to rapid failure from electrical surges. The new flashers especially. Bjorn has designed a protective circuit that eliminates the failures from that cause. I put one on my M35 that had blown two flashers rapidly. No more problems.

    Crude oil

    There is some oil production in W. Virginia. You probably could go there and ask a pumper for some. Not a big deal.

    Replacing Winshield Gaskets

    Actually the Vaseline made little mess. I avoided soap as with anything that is exposed to the elements, rust on steel is a pain. Soap, it seemed to me would invite rust on the channels I had just wire brushed and painted. But, to each his own.

    Replacing Winshield Gaskets

    I have just finished the second M35 window gasket of my brief career. First, M135 windshields are different, much different. My post on that project included information about using a one inch putty knife and inserting the replacement from the backside of the window frame. The M35 was far...
