Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You came to the right place. This forum is loaded with good information and great people. I would start by downloading the TMs for the M35A1 and reading the posts in the Deuce forum.

You came to the right place! Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Becareful, the green disease is contageous and your one M35 will multiply very easily.

Well, my MEP-003A is saving the day again. We've been without power from Blue Ridge Mountain EMC for about 3 hours now due to a storm that went through. It's currently snowing, temperature is about 29, and the wife is very happy that she is cooking, oven is on, HVAC is running, TV on, well is...

I re-read Patriot's post and I think my post on using the tractor with the forks was mis-understood. When disassembling an A3 wheel and removing the tire, it is very easy if you have a fork truck available, or as in my case, a tractor with forks. You can press down on the tire with the forks...

About five years ago, I helped set up a manufacturing plant in China for the company I worked for. One of my tasks was to purchase a very large assortment of hand tools for use in the factory. I was given a mandate by the Chinese management in the plant that I was to only procure tools made in...

I agree - not everything made in China is bad. However, I prefer to use NOS parts or new U.S. manufactured parts to support American manufactured parts. Otherwise everything will be imported.

The whole CTIS system is very simple. Unless the diaphragm us ruptured, there is no reason to replace a wheel valve. The wheel valves normally only malfunction if the CTIS seals in the axle have failed and let differential lube enter them from the hollow stud. They are extremely easy to...

Thanks. That's what happens when I type fast and don't check the results. The abive link has been corrected.

The shutters on my MEP-003A genset never open unless the load is significant. In 50 deg weather, I don't think mine would ever open. However, when the load is high in hot weather they open fine. If you need one, Delks is another source. http://www.delksarmynavysurplus.com

Ditto! If need be, I'll bring both my Deuces.

No, the ring sticks out. The hood will go past vertical, but only by a small amount. The exhaust stack doesn't interfere.

I'm assuming that you are talking about the tie-downs located in the bed of an M35A3? These were added to A2 beds as part of the ESP program. I don't know the capacity, but they are fairly stout and very handy. I would simply use some common sense when tieing something down. I doubt you will...

More and more people are mounting M66 rings on Deuces. Something a lot of people don't think about is safety. Everyone knows about locking the Deuce hood back when working on the engine. No one wants to have a gust of wind blow the hood down on their head. Serious injuries and potentially...

Erik's used to have them. I've also seen them on E-bay. I would also recommend replacing the brass nut whenever you replace the grommet as the nut gets chewed up real easy and it needs to be torqued to 45 - 60 Lb-Ft. Erik's has the nuts. Sockets are rounded on the end, which causes them to...

Ditto. This was almost certainly caused by poor connections. This problem is not unique to 24 VDC systems, it can happen to any vehicle. I had a battery post and connector melt on a 6 VDC battery once in a 1954 Chrysler.

They look great! Let us know how well they work and how well they hold up. I might think about doing the same thing to mine.

Mine is a real brass fitting also, with a glass insert. As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to see through, however. Fortunately, mine is not leaking.

CatMan, that was an excellent description on how the air cleaner works. I was totally unaware of that system. Excellent post.

Nice looking deuce and trailer. I see the truck doesn't have a heater, but you probably don't need it where you live anyway.
