    m35a2 startup procedure question

    I had watched a video a while back of someone starting an m35a2. In the video the shutdown handle was in the out position. He cranked the engine with the handle still out for a second, then pushed the handle it and started the engine. Is there a reason to crank the engine with the handle out or...

    Dead Deuce

    That made me think of something. Since you push started it you didn't have the exciter voltage necessary to turn the generator on in the first place. If you had jumpstarted it the generator would have started charging. Oh well once batteries have been discharged that bad it's best to replace...

    Just so I understand the problem. The truck was leaking oil due to diesel leaking into the crankcase? Where was the oil/diesel coming from? How high was the oil level?

    GL-1 Gear Oil Alternative

    The reason I use gl-1 over gl-5 in my spicer transmission is because the manufacturer does not recommend the ep additives present in gl-5. These transmissions have had gl-5 in them for twenty years without any issues. That to me is proof enough that gl-5 is safe to use. Assuming yellow safe of...

    Need help with tranny or transfer case issues please

    Does it coast freely when you let off the throttle, such as down a hill, or does it slow down like something is dragging/binding? I assume the engine revs freely when in neutral? Does it seem like the engine is under load or slipping when trying to accelerate? Just trying to get a better picture...

    WWII BSA Paratroop Bicycle featured on Pawn Stars TV Show

    Wow. That's an amazing piece of history. I would have definitely researched it before taking it to a pawn shop. I think most of that show is staged anyway.
