I have a M35 which has the kill cable not pulling the fuel shutoff out of the injection pump. At first I thought it might be just a frozen cable so I unhooked the cable and tried to pull the shutoff on the pump by hand with no success. It looks like there is a small cover held on by two screws...

I'm looking at purchasing a Marine M813 with single Marine 1400x20 wheels. The tires are currently about 50% tread. Can a 1600x20 fit on these wheels without any issues? I've heard that the Detroit lockers in the rear axles can cause issues with the transfer case? Anyone have any...

We are picking up our M35a2c in Wisconsin on Thursday and the site mgr said the pedal falls to the floor. It could just be low brake fluid but I want to install a new master and bleed the brakes to be on the safe side. We have replaced two of the master cylinders in our 5 tons and it's an easy...
