1. Don't buy a new tach until you diagnose the problem. 2. The most likely cause for the tires losing air is leaky grommets under the valve stems where the seal to the wheels. The o-rings could also be leaking. This is a very common problem. 3. There is nothing missing where you are looking. The...

Good post and Welcome to Steel Soldiers.

All compressors on M35A3s are supposed to have that modification. Look at thread Installing the Pressure Relief Valve on the M35A3 . What you are looking at is the 4820-01-490-1773 pressure safety relief valve. MWO 9-2320-386-20-2 covers the installation. All M35A3s were required to have...

I drove several M37s while in the Army and one owned by a friend. The only thing I remember about the brakes was that they all had a very hard pedal. Are you planning on bringing it to the GA Rally?

I have to tell you that when I changed the fuel filter on my A3, I had a lot of problems getting it to run again. After changing the filter, it started right up and ran for about 10 seconds and died. It took a total of about ten minutes of cranking before it would start again. The ten minutes...

I should have mentioned also that the set of magnetic lights I purchased at Northern Tool were wired to the plug incorrectly. I took them back but all of their sets were wired incorrectly. I cut the wires and reconnected the plug correctly. No problems after that. There was a schematic that...

I think they were about $55.00 each. They were bright yellow. Once I painted them they looked identical to the original military shocks. I should mention that I called Monroe and told them I needed shocks for an M35A2 and they gave me the correct ones to order.

It is quite commmon for passenger side front tires on a deuce to wear like that,especially on W/W trucks due to the extra weight. The right front tire on my A2 W/W was really wearing badly. Someone recommended new shocks and I absolutely did not believe that could be the cause. My alignment...

You can also replace the 12V bulbs in your magnetic light set with 24V bulbs. Then, you don't need relays and the whole setup is much simpler.

Update - I replaced the air dryer with an NOS dryer I got on Ebay. My dryer was really corroded and so I decided to just replace the whole unit. I didn't really think the dryer was causing my air pressure problem as I had settled on the compressor governor / unloader as the culprit and planned...

Clinto, I will be coming from North Georgia, departing Thursday morning from Hiawassee. I know there are several others that have indicated they may be departing from North Georgia as well and some on Thursday. It would be very easy for MVs from East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, North...

I don't know how I missed that post when I searched, I had even posted on it. After seeing it I remembered it. Terry McClanahan (American Outfitters) has a new telephone number - 619-390-4268. Terry is a very interesting guy and knows a lot about M35A3s. He was very helpful on the telephone...

While rebuilding one of the hubs on my M35A3, I discovered that one of my CTIS hub seal retainers was bent and battered. This was likely the cause of the seal failure. This is the retainer that holds the quad o-ring seal and each hub has two. It appears that someone in the military beat on...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! I would definitley have someone check out the truck that knows Deuces. Look for rust as well since a 54 model is 57 years old. This could be a good deal, but I personally would look for something newer near you or look at GL I picked up my 69 Kaiser Jeep A2 W/W at...

WM, put me in for three large shirts.

The frequency of my MEP-003A will vary slightly like yours when big loads come on and off line. It is normally not a big issue. As far as load testing goes, I simply throw the transfer switch, which is manual and supplies the entire house, and turn on all the lights, both ovens, all cook top...

Ditto on the Fram Filters. My M35A2 and even my MEP-003A genset came with Fram filters. The only exception was my M35A3 which came with CAT oil and fuel filters and Fleetguard winch hydraulic fluid filter.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You don't want to part out that Deuce! I'm glad you are looking for a winch because that means you aren't parting it out. You will enjoy it and it looks like you have a good truck to start with. It isn't difficult to put a winch on. The best thing is to find...

You are correct.
