    Brought home the airforce truck

    There are more pics hiding in another thread, about him hauling home the M35 parts donor... can't seem to find it right now. Anything feels fast after your M109, question is does it feel faster than a NORMAL M35? Bet Jeff's glad to see that one run! Dennis

    M35A2 Dot 3 Brake Fluid?

    I use DOT 3. DOT 5 dosen't abosrb water, so any water in the system goes to the lowest point, the wheel clyinders, and can cause rust there. Seen it on deuces before...

    mil-veh seen on road trip

    I took pics of the same place during my drive out to Colorado in July. Didn't have the 5-ton shop truck then.

    Do I really want a heater?

    Thanks BC. I'll have to check that out when installing the heater in the M108, need to keep an eye on foot room. Dennis

    m35a2 parts running out!!!!!!!!!

    Many countries run the M35 as their standard truck, and need parts just like the USA. Look at the half-track, Israeli used them up till recently, and it's a WW2 truck.

    tapping that comes and goes

    You can hear the compressor working on my truck, and it is intermittent, depending on whether it's pumping or not. Sounds like a normal noise to me, but yours might be nosier. Water pump has a weep hole. Don't know if anyone has rebuilt the compressors, a truck shop would probably have the...

    Where are you drawing the intake air from on your heater BC? Inside the cab?

    M35A3 RUNS but still need parts/help

    That allison trans is a popular one, maybe a junkyard dipstick would work, or be modifed to fit. Nice looking truck!

    8,620 lbs of gravel

    Heck, you are still under the 5 ton limit. I've been weighed at 30,000lbs with gravel, and truck weighs 15,000lbs... And was really slow getting up to speed. Doesn't bottom out the springs, but rides much different. Stopping wasn't a problem, just tried to stop early. And can never have...

    Found a 5-ton wrecker

    is it a gasser, or diesel? Gasser isn't worth as much, unless it's a 2 1/2ton truck. Could be a M816 on the other hand, which would be well worth the money. Grab the camera and post pics, someone here can tell you what it is. Dennis

    No, it won't fit. What's the seller contact info? :twisted:

    My collection of Deuce trucks

    Man, just to have those axles here.... love the air lockers. Very cool trucks.

    Practical uses for a Deuce

    Yep, I bought mine because I always wanted one, and it makes the jacked up 4x4's look pretty weak. Now, I use mine for work more and more. You will be surprised how many times you have to haul more than a pickup load of something. Best mod I did was adding a dump. Haul wood, trash, move...

    transfer case pto output

    The pieces of angle iron going across the frame rails on my truck are there to support the hydraulic tank, and do not mount to the airtanks. Not the best pics, but your tanks are mounted different than mine. There is a small piece of channel under my tanks, that goes from under the tanks, up...

    transfer case pto output

    Should not interfere, that is where my tank/pump is for the dump, and it dosen't hit, and is larger. But check for yourself.... Also, on the PTO of my crane truck, the tank is moved to the spare tire location, but the M108 stores the spare on the crane. Dennis
