Great photos! Thanks for posting!

Dave, even if your title hasn't been issued yet, you can get a temporary tag from the DMV. I believe they are still free in Georgia. This won't impact your title application. You really need to come to the rally!

Polaris is again selling diesel ATVs with Yanmar engines. They are also selling to the military.

That's not good at all! You can't come to at least part of the Rally?

I triple dog dare you! How could you even conceive of not coming to the GA Rally?

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Keep us posted on the ARO M461. Your photos of the truck look very good.

What about the late model A2s that were sold to the Air Force. They had dual circuit brakes. How did they handle the problem that you found?

The two tires are different. The 14.5 X R20 is no longer manufactured as far as I know. It is no longer listed by Michelin as a product.

The wheel valves are actually very simple to take apart and clean. I've now done two of them and didn't have a kit. The gaskets were still good and didn't leak when re-assembled. I cleaned everything with mineral spirits and then washed everything with hot soapy water, followed by drying with...

There may be another possibility going on here. When I talked to the engineer at the Allison factory, he highly recommended replacing the motor oil with Dexron III. However, he was careful to make sure I knew that motor oil and Dexron III were not compatible and to make certain that I got all...

He doesn't have an M35A3, he bought an M925A1. Totally different animal.

The A3 transmission was designed by Allison to use Dexron III, not MO. The military used MO to eliminate the need to support another fluid. However, do not use any Dexron fluids with a number higher than III as it will damage the seals. There are a lot of posts on this topic.

Is the inner core lubed good? I've had good success lubricating the core with white lithium brake grease on other vehicles with a similar issue.

You can get virtually any size of EPDM O-ring from McMaster-Carr. I'm in a very rural part of North Georgia and when I order from McMaster I normally receive the shipment the next day via UPS.

As Welldigger said, you will need to flip the hubs. The 14.5 X R20 tires are getting in short supply these days. Are you sure you want to go that route? You may want to look at 395s instead of the A3 tires.

Excellent news. I think accommodations are getting in short supply, so your timing is good. Too bad you can't come down until Thurs evening. I'm coming down Wednesday morning and I'm in the Dog House (more ways than one) so your Dad can stay with me Wed night. I won't have anyone else with...

They are 12 volt.

How much has the current owner been driving the truck? Are you sure he hasn't already damaged the engine?

If you add the PTO, make certain that you use an appropriate number of gaskets under the PTO to result in the correct backlash. If you don't, you will do damage to the PTO and/or transmission! Read the TM. I believe my PTO required 6 gaskets when I switched transmissions. May have been 5...

Welcome to the site. The sticker you are referring to shows the original acquisition price the DOD paid for the unit.
