Gasoil
Just for Info. When buying fuel for our ships engines (Merchant Marine) we bought IFO or Intermediate fuel oil for the main engine. We bought diesel for the generator engines on many ships. In many parts of the world they called that diesel "Gasoil". In most cases it was a very clean...
cable, ladders,tees
It's official. Gail and I should be able to show up with the M35A2 "K" and the truck camper. I will need directions please. Also, I want that aluminum boarding ladder and those slave cables. Prices, please (PM me?). If there are any 2XL tees left, I would like one or...
on our way Thursday
I will be leaving Spokane on Thursday AM with the M35A2 "K", probably pulling a M101A2 trailer. If all goes well, I will pull in on Thursday night. Can someone let me know where they want me to park or should i just pull in and hope? We also will have our pickup w/camper...
over-fueling
Aside from the fact that someone will accidentally run it too hot - It does no good to set it up to over-fuel. The black smoke gives ammo to critics, it can cause many other problems like carboned -up injectors. It is not just a max temp adjustment. That is why the TM has a...
I bought non-standard shocks for my M37 after I had the springs rebuilt and re-arched. Go to http://www.monroe.com/assets/downloads/english/08_MountingLengthSheet.pdf. They will show you the different ends available, lengths, etc. and you can pick what you need. Then I called NAPA and had...

After talking with Chevron product engineers, I decided to use Delo synthetic transmission fluid 50 weight in the trans. No sulfer or EP products in it. I have more research to do before putting it in the transfer. I will stay with SAE 80-90 MT1, GL-5 in the differentials.
Jeff- I finally got my vacation confirmed and I have the time off confirmed. So I plan to show up for the airshow with my M35A2 (bobbed), pulling a flatbed trailer, with my M38A1 and a M101 trailer if I can fit both on the flatbed. I am looking forward to meeting more of the SS's. I visited...
I am considering buying an 18' flatbed trailer that is being built in Bancroft IA. Map shows that to be a little ways south of Minneapolis, MN. I would expect it to be available in the June 25 to July 1 timeframe. (I will know more about this tomorrow). It is an aluminum trailer and weighs...
I have a set of sideboards and bows for a M105 that I have listed in classifieds, for free. Check it out, I could drop them off mid-july when I go to Arlington Air Show. Sorry, no tarp covers.
New stuff on the Grizz
Getting some new stuff on the M35A2"K". I installed the remote brake reservoir kit. What a pleasure to not have to dig under the floor board, disconnect the vent line and all in order to check the fluid level. I also got the Westach pyro/boost gauge installed. Now I...
