John Tennis, aka jatonka has them ready to ship. Prelubing may be the best. I am following the posts on it with interest.

RE: Re: RE: Steering Issue I got the front axle lifted today. It feels like a very smooth power steering has been installed. I know, real life will intervene with the tires back on the ground.

The Wix number is 51458 for the oil filters. The NAPA number is 1458

This was covered in some detail here: http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=11823&highlight=spin There is a NAPA number but I use Wix because the O'Reilly is closer than NAPA. Same filter number with some additional as a Wix number.

The old filters simply drain back after the engine stops. These hold oil after the engine stops. Anti-drain back, I suppose you could dall it. At any rate the filters do not have to refill every time the motor is started to have pressure build up. Good idea.

They came with the gaskets to adapt the fittings. The filter is better than the older ones and the flow rate is unchanged as I under stand it. Pressure seems to come up quicker due to the filters holding the oil rather than it draining into the crankcase when stopped.

I started to do that, but decided why not just for once have real MV batteries? They look real nice, when you look.

I got mine at O'Reilly Auto Parts in about one day. 6TL batteries. I paid $270 for two, tax included. They may be cheaper elsewhere.

RE: Re: RE: Steering Issue I was playing with the steering wheel and it seemed to move about five or six inches before moving the wheels. I think tightening it up will work. We will probably do that this weekend. I wonder if the adjustment screw could be broken, however, as this came up...

I just put them on all nice and shiny. Kind of like putting a nice necklace on a lady to doll her up. :wink:

A friend was the curator for the museum for many years until he became chronically ill. The museum is great with all the static displays. There are many more waiting their turn to get put out for display. The investment we have in the military is vastly apparent by a drive along Hell on...

I will try to take some tomorrow. If you have not gotten them yet, do so. You are kind of new here, so they have been photo'd before. Just look great and for eight full hours have worked fine. I will let you know how good they are in a couple of years. :lol:

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! :)

Re: RE: Steering Issue No problem on the housing or axle housing moving. I think it may be just too much clearance in the steering gear. There is an adjustment of the gear box on the inside. Anyone ever done this?

I kind of think it may need tightening of the steering gear. I got into the TM and found an adjustment that we will try first.

Bingo! A new idea every time I look. I have a bent brace on the M135. I figured on finding a hydraulic jack at Northern Tool to straighten it out. Why not a High Lift Jack? I know what my weekend has in store. Thanks.

The Wix filter numbers are 533512 for the secondary fuel filters and 33511 for the primary fuel filter. O'Reilly has them.

Check with the tax office about former military vehicles. Cheap.

That is probably the main problem with the turn signals on your truck. That is because the flasher is the main problem with the turn signals on everyone's truck. It will fit, it is delicate.

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.
