The only decent view is going to be from the top.
I had to adjust mine so the handle was not hitting the floor in low. I also had to ever so slightly remove some metal to make sure it did not hit the floor in high either.
In any event, the only way to address this linkage assembly is to...
If I am wrong and you already have this knowledge I apologize in advance.
The ball valves are misleading/ When they are horizontal they are off.
When they are at right angles they are on.
I bet you had them on with the covers on and they did not leak.

Rare truck. Made in the early days of the M35 series/ Wood bed is STD.
There should be a roller on the back edge of the deck.
EXTREMELY RARE and SHOULD BE PRESERVED AS IT IS!!!!!!!!
If you are looking for a cargo deuce, buy this one and then trade with someone for the truck you want.;

I am talking about JATONKA's site. www.jatonkam35s.com
It has been so long since the "crash" on this site now when I do think of TMs it is not here.
RL
If you need TMs for the M35A2 you can get them from www.jatonkam35s.com
I also know that if you contact the webmaster you can ask for specific manuals or other information such as FMs and the like and if it is possible they will be added to the site.

The differences in speed are due to the different characteristics of the Gas and Diesel engines.
From the Operator's TM
Max 2,800 rpm for gasoline; 2,600 rpm for multifuel; and 2,100 for diesel,
This would explain the MPH difference between the Gas version and the Diesel
Although hard...

The proper TM series is
TM 9-2320-386-* and you will find all the manuals you need for this here

There is a brake bleeder at the top of the air pack that looks just like one from a wheel cylinder or a disk caliper. You will see a brake line descending from the master cylinder to the air pack and the bleeder is right near it. If you do not know how to bleed brakes, take the time to read...
I would try bleeding some fluid out of the airpack and see how rusty it is and how much gunk is in the fluid.
The compensator is the hydraulic portion of the airpack that regulates the braking action. The air valve is sprung against the compensator and can stick. Typically, the compensator...
TM's available at www.jatonkam35s.com
I would also suggest you try to contact your local MV club and see if anyone there knows someone near to your truck.

If the brake pedal is sticking, it is weither the airpack compensator and you can spray a gallon of oil in the airpack whether it be in the incoming air line, the back of the piston or anywhere else you can find a spot and it will not make a difference.
The other option is that the master is...
Another option is to contact a SS member who is in the area and see if they can pick up the truck, and get it home locally. Depending on who you get and how busy they are, this may cost you some, a lot or nothing.
After you get the truck off base, you can fly, or drive down and review the...
