    M35 recovery in New Mexico

    :driver:Glad all went well. Bruce is great to work with. I have taken several trucks and trailers from there as well. FMJ is correct, that will be the last for awhile. They may trickle out of Kirtland once in a while. Perhaps 1-2 per year. Same with Holloman. The last truck I took out of Santa...

    LDS-465-1A inframe headgasket job pictures

    COOP-I certainly agree and have been told since I was old enough to understand that if you want something done right, then do it yourself! When we purchase a truck or an engine off GL we are usually buying a pig in a poke. As I previously indicated I purchased a rebuilt engine in a can...

    M109 pilfered at GL Ft. Riley

    :ditto:ARMYMAN-I agree with you 100%. Take it to the MPs. Enough filed theft reports and some action will be taken at post level. I think there is an extra guage cluster in my inventory and I have very little invested in it.

    Bobbed Deuce Project

    Yea, I like it. Started on mine about 2 weeks ago. Platform was a M109A3. Has many upgrades. My dilemma is bed height placement. I do not want it to look goofy with the top and bows in place.

    Dual Wheel Removal Tip

    The motorcycle/atv jack is an excellent choice for removing the duals and hub as a unit. In addition the same jack can be used to remove a transfer case. Just need to make a stand to mount on the jack. The TM shows ones but with some fabrication a removal mount can be made to sit on the...

    Fried chicken wings for fuel?

    Make sure the oil you use from restaurants is vegetable oil only. The animal fat oil solidifies when cooled and will do the same in your tank or filtering system. Set up a bio system if you have a good supplier{s}.

    need some transmission info asap

    I have rebuilt many 350 an 400s. Purchase a book and a few special tools. They are not real expensive. 1 to compress the clutch packs. A long pick tool to help remove/replace o-rings. Some snap ring tools. And on the 400s there is a bolt in the bottom center after you remove the valve body that...

    5ton combat rims recentered for the M35

    I don't think even my 18" swing lathe will accomodate the large diameter wheel. Well done job. Quality.

    9x20 tires in NM?

    I do not know of any here in NM unless FMJ came up with some. I got 15.5s from OD Iron with the wheels. Try Desert Deuce in Phoenix or Jack Martin in Tuscon.

    What neighbors

    My neighbor lady down the road loves to here the deuce roll by. The neighbors across the road complain. They are pompas A----. They drive a Cadilac Escalade. They do stop by to say hello and my dog Bishop runs up and puts his paws on the door to say hi. I know they hate that.

    LDS-465-1A inframe headgasket job pictures

    Photos of the wrench In addition, COOP is correct when he say chase all threads as well as anything that requires torque. The reason for this is: if there is a rough thread or debris on the stud, bolt or threads in the head or block it will not give an accurate torque reading. I am also an...
