I operate both models of the M35 (A2) (A3). They both start at the touch of the starter button/switch. I have the A2 for it's multifuel capabilities and because it's fun to drive a manual vehicle. The A3 is very comfortable to drive and the Mrs. can handle it well. As Wildchild states; you need...
Won't be to difficult to trouble shoot, fluid on both sides of the wheel leads to a bad wheel cylinder assembly. Please check the rest of the system if recent service has not been accomplished. Age is the common denominator.
Be careful with he red slime in the tanks, it is microbrial growth. Do not get in an open cut, mouth, or eyes. It will get you very ill. If is not completely killed off it will continue to grow and contaminate the fuel system. Acetone will kill it, clean and use a product like Bio Bore in the...
I have a WRAFB deuce I got this past spring, tank condition is the same, however the pump still works. I'm planning to pull it and drain , clean, and re-seal if necessary my self. Bonedoc has the plan, looks good.
Just caught up to this thread, nice find, I also have a hard time parting out a good running truck. Pull off what you need for your good truck and keep it running for a woods truck, like you said; for when the kids want to drive something and get it dirty and you won't mind a dent.

Welcome from the Bluegrass state. A lot of MV guys and the MVPA in Indiania. Look at M101 or M1101/02 trailers. They may still be big for a Jeep.
Get a deuse or 5 ton, problem solved.

An USAF deuce with a complete data plate is a find also. That one must of got overlooked. Most data plates were cut or removed when the AF dispositioned to DMRO. I just got a NOS replacement data plate (W/W) for mine. Soon to be a winch truck.
If it one of the recent units at Indy, Bro. Bob Rainville (317 710-2240) can size it up for you and move it to private property after the EUC clears. May help in your planning.
Just got the title for my '87 M35A2 (87K1674) this past Friday. State of Florida Title. First time for a Florida title, all other trucks and trailers have always been issued a AZ title. Finally went through the maintenance records package that came with the truck. It contained the original...
My M813 likes to cruise @52 mph. The M816 weight will keep that a little slower. Biggest concern is the brakes, keep an eye on the m/c and look it over for any leaking wheel cylinders. Check for a mushy/spongy brake pedal. M809 brakes in good order will stop the truck on a dime. Drain the water...
