    Max towing capacity of a M35?

    M35A2 w/w data plate. I guess you have to believe whether you're driving Higway or Cross Country :?: . :D

    Max towing capacity of a M35?

    Well, I would rely on the data plate: Cross Country 6,000 lbs (off road) Highway 10,000 lbs I know others have probably had MUCH more behind them with no problem. The main concern should be safety. The ability to stop and control the vehicle. With some states looking very closely...

    Where to get PS pump for LDS motor?

    Try Antelope Valley Truck Parts. Ask for Norm. I just bought a rebuild kit for my early style Ross on my M52A2. I've been pumping power steering fluid out of the gear box vent. Also bought a valvle grind set, have a bad head gasket to fix in a couple weeks as well. Picks of the work will be posted.

    front lollipop lights

    The rear facing turn signals and marker lamps are known as the "Nato Lighting Kit". These additional lights were required in the European Theater of Opperation. Germany and probably other European contries require these lights for opperation on their roads and highways. A truck with these...

    Sarge crashes his M1030

    Are you a previous member of the "Over the Bars Club" or new one. In any case, welcome to the OTBC. Glad you're able to write this. I used to race Bultaco's many years ago and then moved on to Honda Thumpers (nothing like a big bore thumper). Your story brings back many memories. Again, glad...

    New M200A1 Today

    I won this M200A1 at Barstow today. I haven't been able to find anyone with parts for these trailers. If it's in the condition it looks like it's in, I may move the fenders and MEP006A over to the new trailer. $254.00, I'll pull it to AZ with the F350. The 2 M35A3's went for about 10K. Lots of...

    M35A2 turn signals

    Hi Todd, Also, important to make sure the connector on the back of the 3 lever light switch is screwed in tight, as well as the connector on the signal flasher which should be on the firewall or down on the fender, against the firewall on the driver side. I've found these connections loose on...

    M275A2 and M447C for sale

    Kenny, Sorry to see you selling the M275A2, yours is very rare, based on the year it was built. They are all fairly rare ( I believe my 67 is one of the most common years). You know, I bought and restored mine after admiring yours. I really hope it goes to a good home with a member so it can...

    800 series road speed

    Like Coveralls, I just drove my XM816 home from Camp Ripley as well (they sold at the same event). 2000 miles to AZ. I had no pace car. I drove it right at 56 mph. About 2200 rpm. Pulled the throttle out for hours at a time. Govenor was set right at 2200. My XM816 also drove like a new truck...

    Woo Hoo! EUC Approved!

    The Green Deuce came from Port Hueneme Naval Base in CA in 3-06. $2500. It was painted last December along with my M52A2 for the movie "In the Valley of Elah" which I believe comes out this month. Other than new tires, maintenance and new lens covers for the lights, it's needed nothing. I've...

    Woo Hoo! EUC Approved!

    Thanks Mike, yeah, it's good to get your hands on a nice pair (Deuces). My deuces feel like sports cars after driving the XM816 for 4.5 days straight.

    Woo Hoo! EUC Approved!

    Will, you'll love your M105, they're very usefull. That's a great price. Like Kenny said, you'll need another deuce as well. To bad Kenny's M275A2 is sooo far away. I've included the first pictures of my 2nd deuce that came from French Camp a couple months ago. These califormia deuces coming...

I believe this has happened...

    Demil B & Q Sales Ending??

    No not yet, I figure if they're going to do it, they already have their minds made up. I provided the link because it was part of the original email.
