Well the Shear pins were ordered, I got a call back saying they were out......
Does anyone know of any other place that has shear pins for the PTO winch on a M35A2 ? I've been calling all the major surplus places?
Thanks for all the help, proper shear pins ordered.
tmbrwolf:
we were only using the bolts due to the fact the Texas Forest Service did not have any and the surplus places I contacted were out.
Normally I can call the yard in Lufkin and get most "major" parts. So far I've gotten turbo's...
acetomatoco; thanks for the email addy, I'll contact him to see about some shear pins.
A surplus place told us to use soft stainless bolts, but we sheared one of these yesterday trying to pull a light Chevy 4x4 brush truck out of the mud. We tried to use brass bolts when we first got the...
Our "new" M35A2 brush/grass fire truck. It has already towed several other grass fire trucks out of the mud since being placed in service, we really love the winch, our other M35A2 does not have a winch.

Wyattearp,
I don't subscribe to MV magazine, and have never even seen a issue. I only recently started learning about Deuces due to my winning the election for fire chief. While I get my deuce fix playing with the dept Deuces, someday I would like to own my own.
We have two decent Diesel...
Got a pair of 1968 AM General M35A2's. The serial #'s on the trucks are 51 digits apart.
One of them has a LDT-465-1C, the other one has a LD-465-1C. The truck with the turbo engine was rebuilt by the DoD in the 80's, I can find no rebuild stamps on the non-turbo deuce.
Question:
Is it...
Thanks M1075,
The bumper is actually about 8" longer than it was supposed to be due
to an error at the shop that built us the bumper. But we were in a hurry
to put the truck in service due to the busy grass fire season we
were having at the time so we left it as it was. We may end up...
Yes I'm right down the road from Port O'Conner.
The place the Forest Service gave me was:
Rex-Tex
214-351-6421
but we ended up buying the gasket kit from Boyce, they were
cheaper and they were supposed to throw in a re-build manual,
I'm still waiting on the package to see what manual they...
Hi all,
Have a leaky head gasket on a M35A2 w/ turbo.
I have most of the 209 & 361 series manuals on disk, but can't seem
to find the "engine overhaul" manual anywhere showing torque
specs, etc. I do have the tool list manual.
The Texas Forest Service gave me the phone number of a...
