I'm not certain what time they will be arriving. It may be later but I should know something soon. It depends on when my son-in-law can leave work and the traffic on Friday. Thanks.
My son-in-law Chris and my 6-year old grandson Travis are coming down Friday evening and staying through Saturday. My grandson is at the age where all he thinks about is Army Army Army. He loves my M35A3 and all my other stuff. He is so excited about coming he can hardly stand it. :) :smile...
I serviced my deuce and 1061 trailer I'm pulling, but I haven't loaded anything yet. Life has gotten in the way of my plans so I'm having to wait until the last minute to get everything together and loaded. If anyone needs anything moved to the rally from the North Georgia area I will have...
Welcome from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, USA. I was stationed at Kirch Göns in at Ayers Kaserne near Giessen back in the early 70s. I really enjoyed my time in Germany while in the Army and was lucky to spend a lot more time working in Germany before I retired.
One of the first things I did was switch to Dexron III. I talked with an Allison Engineer at their factory. He suggested getting rid of the motor oil and switching to either Dexron III or Castrol TranSynd. TranSynd is too rich for my blood. He told me to make absolutely all of the motor oil...
The CTIS manifold on M35A3 trucks does not control individual wheel valves. They are controlled as a group. The manifold is basically one storage tank. I would suspect that someone has replaced the grommets and o-rings on one side of the truck but not on the other side. A3 tires will hold...
Cattlerepairman pretty much nailed it. Operating a hydraulic winch like comes in the A3 is very similar to using an electric winch. You simply sit in the cab and work a toggle switch to control the winch. Almost impossible to tear up the winch and much safer. The mechanical part of the A3...
Much easier and a lot cheaper to sell your A3 and buy another with a winch if you want a correct winch. I have an A3 with winch and it is fantastic. Much easier to use than an A2 with a winch.
That is correct, but the premature tire wear is wear in the center of the tire. Higher pressure to a reasonable level increases economy and tire life. Just don't go too high.
The CTIS worked great on my A3 when I first recovered it from Fort McCoy years ago although the tires would lose pressure over a few weeks. It has worked great ever since although I did replace the air dryer and the valve stem grommets. You do not want to use hardware nuts on the valve stems...
Looking forward to it Eddie! Let me know if you need me to bring anything. I'm trying to decide whether to drag my M1030M1 motorcycle down again this year.
