    rain water in exhaust

    My M818 has a pipe plug on the muffler to drain out the water. It looks like it would take 10 or 15 gallons of water to get into the exhaust port. If you get enough water in the exhaust, you can blow a head gasket. I saw a Freightliner with a Cummins pull started that hadn't run in a while...

    drilling brake drums

    :ditto: Just remember, bigger holes let the mud and other garbage in easier too. If you are going to play in the mud, pull the drums and clean everything up when you are finished. I learned that lesson 30 years ago in my mud truck days. It doesn't take long for the mud to chew brake shoes and...

    how to get rid of drmo numbers

    Brake cleaner. If you use a rag, make sure it's not colored. The brake cleaner will wash the color out of a shop rag and onto whatever you are wiping.

    Deuce road tractor conversion

    Are you going to have room for the quarter fenders to protect the fuel tanks? It looks kind of tight.

    Deuce road tractor conversion

    Looking good Ray. Is the fellow that did the conversion going to plumb the air and fuel for you? It looks like he did a really nice job on everything. I'm sure the TM for the M275 will have a diagram for the air system; the fuel should be straight forward. Somebody already mentioned mud...

    ***Normal operating temp 2.5 Rockwell***

    About 50 MPH; depends on how far I have to go. 55 MPH (more or less) is top speed for the Deuce and 53 MPH for the M818. Usually I'm not in a big hurry.

    Windshield Wiper Broke

    My M818 has air powered windshield wipers. I thought my driver side windshield wiper was broken. It turns out the little button by the exhaust pipe that parks the blade was stuck in. I held the park button in on the passenger side and the pressure built up enough to pop the park button out on...

    Jump starting 24V with 12 volt?

    You can jump to one battery at a time. Make sure you don't try to jump both batteries in series. If you are going to jump one battery at a time; don't hook the ground of the jumper cables to the M35A3 chassis. Hook the jumper cables to the battery terminals only. 24V system to 12V system is...
