24087 Deuce and Trailer Here is our 1971 M35A2 with the correct paint and markings for the Madison WI based 826th Ord Company. AM on the bumper stands for Ammunition. Also has a trailer to match. We have had this truck since 1991. Bought at Ft McCoy on a live auction in the DRMO yard before...

M35A2 With A3 Cat Engine repower Will a Cat 3116 engine fit in an A2 engine bay? YES! Well actually a little history. When the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) was being considered as a stop gap until the FMTV production was up and running, Cat worked with defense contractors who were...

When I purchased my M35A2 (back before GL days) at Ft McCoy auction, it did not have a ring mount. But it did have spent 50 Cal brass and some loose links under the seats. The hood has an extra Latch on the right front that looks like it was a field modification. Salvaged from a Can Point...

3116 Cat Oil Pressure in A3 The Cat 3116 engine has a gear driven gear type oil pump at the front of the engine. It operates in direct proportion to engine RPM. A lower oil pressure reading is at low engine RPM is normal. No problem since there is low load at Idle RPM. The high pressure reading...

M35A3 Coolant Sight Glass I would try checking in with the local Heavy Duty radiator repair shop. Those sight guages are used on lots of commercial equipment. If there is a replacement available, they probably have a source. Cat Man

I've read several posts from new M35A3 owners about removing the "EGR" system from the truck. The Air Cleaner and Muffler is a combined engineered heavy duty air cleaner "system" on the M35A3. It is not and has nothing to do with "Exhaust Gas Resurculation" (EGR). Nothing to do with Air...

Straight Piped A3 Why in the world would you want to take out the DUST EJECTOR feature of the air cleaner system????? It is not an Exaust Gas Resurculation (EGR) system! You are taking out equipment without even understanding what it is and why it is an advantage to have it. The dust ejector...

Identify Canvas top The tops pictured fit the M37 Dodge. The small sheet metal tabs along the sides fit into the M37 cab top frame work. Cat Man

Registration Issues in Iowa Having worked on this issue in Wisconsin since 2007 I can tell you all about the rules. We quit beating our heads on the DOT doors and went the legislative route that created a new Wisconsin statute 341.269 that allows the titling and registration of ANY former U.S...

CCKW Repaint and Stuff Hey Brad, That's a **** of a project. I've been there and done the CCKW thing. We love those big GMC trucks. Keep up the good work. I know how easy it is to get discouraged by a big project. You are doing great. The 270 engine is a tough old horse. I've dragged CMC's...

Rob, I think this truck is the F-3 750 Gallon Refueling type (F = Fuel). The sheet metal on the right side cabinet behind the cab is taller. The The 600 Gallon L-2 (L for Lube oil) version had a different set up on the right that was the same profile height on both sides of the truck. That's...

Preparing Waste Oil 1. I don't drink used beer. 2. I don't shxx in the same dish I eat out of. 3. And I don't run industrial waste in well engineered, close tolerance machines including diesel engines. Short of having your own oil refinery in your back yard, you can't filter industrial...

M35A3 Fuel Problem The Cat 3116 engine does not have an "injection pump". It has 6 individual unit injectors under the valve cover. The mechanical governor is the thingy that looks like a pump on the left front corner of the engine. It also contains the the fuel transfer pump. Were the fuel...

M35A3 Runaway The correct term is an engine "overspeed". Mechanics and equipment operators "run away" but the engine stays were it is and "overspeeds". Cat Man

Alaska Convoy is full Here is the convoy commanders notice that was pasted on Facebook The response to this AC'12 Convoy project has been outstanding! We have about 80-85 MVs and their teams registered and paid! Add to this number the chase vehicles and ... well ... you can guess the length...

Alaska Convoy is full Here is more information from the Facebook page about why we had to close the AC12 Convoy registrations. The Convoy planning team didn't anticipate a maximium size group. After we completed the RECON of the highway and route conditions, road turn out sizes and available...

M35A3 The Recovery Continues Boys, Sounds like a good shake down for the AC12 Alaska convoy. Glad the weather cooled off. When I brought the "Honey Badger" from Ft McCoy to Green Bay, I ran it just a little faster at 45 MPH. I guess I have failed in my maint training mission. First no...

Bad day at Oshkosh We were sitting on the flight line about mid field when he touched down in front of us yesterday. My pilot pal sitting next to me is an old USMC F-4 Phantom pilot. I commented "he looked like he landed "hot" and my pal smiled and said without looking, the guy was not going to...

Military Earth Moving Equipment Here is a 1944 Military Cat D-7 7M series owned by the group in Spooner WI. I get to drive it and demo it for people once in a while. That's me on the dozer control wearing my fathers Korean vintage HBT's. Cat Man

3176 Cat The 3176 is a much larger engine the the 3116 and 3126. The 3176 is a 10 liter displacement engine. 3(1.7 liter per cylinder X)6. It is also an electronic engine. The 3116 in the A3 is mechnanical. So a repower will require much more than mechanical linkage and some skinned knuckles...
