Sounds like a good plan to me. Good luck.

I once orderedone five-gallon pail of GL-1 at the NAPA on Buford Hwy in Duluth, GA. I showed up the next day and the guy at the cash register told me they would put it in my truck for me while I paid. I was half asleep until I saw that they were loading the last of 20 5-gallon pails in my...

In low range, the truck will be moving very slowing in reverse at idle. There should be no reason to drag the brakes. If the truck is moving too quickly in reverse and low range, perhaps the idle is set too high or the hand throttle is pulled out some. When parking my deuce, I always run it...

It most likely means your low pressure switch needs to be replaced. It could also mean that your gauge is reading incorrectly. Does the gauge read correctly at high pressure? If so, the problem is the low pressure switch.

Never start out in 2nd gear unless you are in low range. When driving a deuce in the Army, this was a serious offence as we were told it is easy to damage the transmission if starting out in 2nd. Also, never slip the clutch - just let the clutch out. Follow everyone's good suggestions...

Looks good! What are you doing about the top on the back of the cab where the posts are? My top is all wrinkled up since there is no clearance between the posts and the top cap on the cab. My ring was a lot harder to put on due to holes not lining up exactly on the ring, post arms and the...

I use the NAPA brand Premium Performance Automatic Transmission Fluid, P/N NP75203 for the 5-gallon pails. It is made by Ashland Oil (Valvoline) and is a replacement for Dexron III.

I know more guys with M35s insured with State Farm than any other company. I have an A2 and an A3 insurec with State Farm. They will insure it as a commercial vehicle restricted to private use. Premiums are reasonable.

First, Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Sounds like a good project. Keep the photos coming as you make progress.

State Farm

Mine doesn't have that valve either. Mine was also missing the fuel filter but these are readily available from any Robin dealer. The original part number was replaced by an upgrade, which needs to have a small piece of the plastic cut out by a pocket knife or diagonal cutters. If anyone...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You will find excellent support here for both deuces and gensets. http://www.smokstak.com is another good site for MEPs if you haven't been there yet.

BM, I just noticed a typo on your post. Should be DOT 5 silicone brake fluid, not DOT 6.

:ditto:

Fix the buzzer! That buzzer can save your butt!

Welcome to the site! You are making a very big mistake if you don't come to the GA Rally!

I have seen the word 'front' on both the inside and outside on both M35s and other vehicles and trailers.

Ditto - you will find a lot of good advice.

Nice pictures! I always enjoy driving my deuces in parades.

Credit card works best and you don't have to worry about fraud on your card. Liability is limited to $50.00 max and most cards don't even make you cover that. I use American Express and have never had an issue after many transactions with GL over the years.
