    personel heater.

    RE: heater I got the idea from looking in some A3's at a local Guard outfit. Their heater is congigured a little differently but I took the idea and ran with it. I don't have all the metal fabbing gear that some of you guys have, so I had to use off the shelf angle iron, flat stock, threaded...

    personel heater.

    RE: Personel heater BFR, the heater is tucked up under the dash pretty well and does not interfere with footroom. davemccoull, the intake hose is left off at least for now.

    Canvas on M35A1

    Whatever you do, I would think that the least amount of wood surface area on the inside(underside) of the canvas would be best. The canvas should be able to "breathe" as much as possible from both sides.

    Air Compressor?

    Rod bearings

    RE: Re: RE: Rod bearings Thanks all! Tomorrow if it isn't raining again, I'll be doing more diagnostics. Going to pull the valve covers off to see if anything weird is going on in there that might be causing the noise, but I really don't think there is. Will also be listening with a stethoscope...

    Rod bearings

    I suspect my multifuel engine in my Deuce has very early rod bearing troubles, although I can't exactly pinpoint the noise yet. It does quiet down a little with full oil pressure however.

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    m35a2 won't start

    RE: m35a2 won Did you ever check the major ground to the frame behind the battery box? This can be intermittent and may give you one hell of a scare if it ever arcs sometime when you hit the starter button, just ask Wallew!!!
