    M35 hardtop

    I thought I would recycle a thread! I did a search, Do I get a pat on the back and a attaboy??:-D I saw a 1985 M931A1 with a hardtop that had a tag stating that it was a hardtop enclosure for 2-1/2 ton 6 x 6 or 5 ton 6 x 6. I thought the M939 series had wider cabs. Will my softtop presently on...

    Bought an M925A1 - dropped a valve?

    I was driving a 220 cummins years ago. The engine had a terrible miss all of a sudden. What we did, was while the engine was idling, grasp firmly, each fuel injector line and the one line that had the sharp thud was the injector that wasn't opening. That cylinder, turns out had a bent injector...

    what would you pay for an m1028?

    The front axle with the LSD and the 205 and a working T-400 as well as the Rear corp 14 with the locker make about $1,600 - $1,800 in value if the axles and T-case are good and operable. The first person that comes along may not buy but eventually one does come along and buy the goods. I get...

    CUCV alternator symptoms, diagnosis and fix.

    The red wire is the sum total of your voltage of the batteries in series. 24 volts only indicates that you have a complete circuit. You can measure between the red wire and the ground wire of that alternator to see if you have no voltage, 12 or so volts if the alternator is not charging, or 14.4...

    Tire flat!!

    Understood on the lubrication and hand tools. My thought was to glob up the cleaned area where the O-ring seals the 2 halves together to provide a substance other than RTV to fill up space between the 2 rim halves and the O-ring for that additional non-stick seal. It should make the rims come...

    Tire flat!!

    Wehring suggested using Gemplers or other type of tire glop on the sealing surface of the split rim to prevent leaks. It is not the liquid lube but the paste stuff that prevents rim rusting and it also seals beads and should seal the oring area as well. It comes in buckets.:D My bad little...

    Cracked A3 Wheel

    I think drilling a hole at the end of the crack and a hole where the crack diverged from the straight radius line crack would alleviate the tendency to crack. Grinding the crack to depth and then brazing it would also work. Brazing is lower temp and some alloys have almost as much tensile...

    ...towing a tank?

    Cool! If I was You, I'd get me a late model M1070 and title it in Wisconsin with an HMV plate. With that plate you have no weight restriction, no air brake restriciton and no need for a cdl!:jumpin: Then I'd take that ole 1070 down and have a nice custom aluminum rollback fabbed up and boda...

    m35a3 rims and tires fit on m135?

    Will the Michelin XL 12.50R20 41" Tall 12.50" Wide x 20 tires fit on the A3 wheel? I have a wheel off and will measure the backspace. The 12.50 tire might be more readily available. Does it have the MPT Bead?:popcorn:
