    m35a2 headlight

    As far as headlights go, stay away from the Chinese bulbs. I've had three fail. I have never had a Wagner NOS bulb fail.

    On mine, the top line in the photo goes to the 4-way fitting.

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    The compression release is on the left handlebar and is marked as a choke because the choke lever on a gas powered bike is used for the compression release. The M1030M1 is electric start only. The compression release is to relieve any existing compression when the piston starts its journey up...

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    I don't have a manual for the M1030M1, but I've been told by two different people that the procedure is to move the compression release lever fully to the left and then to close it prior to starting. That's what I've been doing with mine and it seems to work well. As far as bleeding air from...

    M35a3 unloader air lines

    I had a similar issue with my M35A3 a few years ago. It turned out to the the priority valve. I found a new one on-line, but don't remember where. It is a common part on civilian trucks and easy to replace. If you replace it, make sure you get the correct pressures, or can adjust to the...

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    I have a Genius 7200. My first one failed after one week, went completely dead, but the company replaced it quickly with no questions. I've now had the replacement almost a year and I love it. It will charge both 12 and 24 volt batteries, AGM and standard and also lithium batteries. We'll...

    Timber Rattlesnake on Air Cleaner

    I don't know about the timber rattler population state-wide in Georgia, but we are covered up here with both timber rattlers and copperheads. I'm on 32 acres surrounded by national forest. I'm not kidding when I say there is a snake den near my house. I've never seen an eastern diamondback...

    Greetings from Florida new member with M1030M1

    I recently acquired an M1030M1 also. The Odyssey PC625 AGM battery was completely flat because the key was left on when I picked the unit up. I had a difficult time charging the battery. A volt meter indicated 0 volts on the battery. Fortunately, I have several "smart" chargers, including a...

    CARC In Aerosol Cans

    Has anybody used the Sherwin Williams water-based CARC in the spray cans? I know they are selling DTL-64159 Type III CARC in the spray cans for touch up work. https://oem.sherwin-williams.com/products/metal/military-coatings/ Apparently, the single can contains both parts and a plunger mixes...

    I'll be driving my M35A3 pulling an XM1061E1 trailer with my newest acquistion. I just acquired an M1030M1 USMC diesel motorcycle. That thing is unlike any motorcycle I've ever ridden. Can't wait!

    Sold My Deuce

    Kind of a sad day. I sold my M35A2 W/W. That was my first MV and I had it for 9 years. I recovered it from Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania and drove it home in 17 hours. That was one good truck. I got a lot of good use out of it. Very reliable. The good thing is it went to a good guy...

    Timber Rattlesnake on Air Cleaner

    Actually, we have a severe feral hog problem on my property. I have a feeder and we shoot the hogs when they feed. We also have a lot of bears and the hogs stay away from the feeder when the bears are around. We have four dogs and the dogs keep the hogs away from near the house where I want...

    Timber Rattlesnake on Air Cleaner

    I always thought that rattlesnakes didn't climb much. Not true! I just sold my M35A2 and was in the process of checking the fluids, etc. before the buyer shows up tomorrow morning to pick it up. While pulling the dipstick out of the engine, I heard a rattlesnake sounding off and very close...

    USMC diesel motorcycle sold on GovDeals. 2003 Kawasaki KL650-A17

    There are no more parts for the diesel engine in California or elsewhere. Fred Hayes sold the company to a company in India that was going to produce a diesel motorcycle. That company never proceeded and disposed of all parts, of which there were very few.
