You can move a M35 with a 1 ton truck. However, you max safe speed could just be in the 20-25 range. I flat towed my M35 Gasser behind the M715 back in 2007. I had all my tools and a pair of M715 engines/tranmissions in the bed of the M715. Max speed for flat ground was 27 mph. Above that...
The exposed threads with two nuts on it is what he is talking about down near the pump housing. Yours have this? It probablyis under a sheet metal cover that is safety wired on. That cover sure does rattle sometimes sitting in my glove box.
The direct drive starter is big and very heavy. The motor shaft is directly connected to the Bendix gear. not much to fail or make noise except the Bendix.
The reduction gear starter has just that. Reduction gears. The motor is smaller and offset above the Bendix housing some. It can have...
Once you remove the lunette nut. Hit the lunette as hard as you can with the biggest sledge hammer you can swing on the top left or right of the ring. The trailer will laugh at you. Don't take it personal. Hit it again on the other side of the lunette as the first swing. It will probably...
Mine had a lake of oil. I told a student to put some oil dry in there. I didn't watch him though. He had at least 50 pounds of the stuff in the can and looked like he was playing in a sand box working the clean stuff down to the oil. Two shop vac tub fulls later we had a clean can and there...
The block half of the oil cooler lines are 1/2" NPT. I screwed a pair of brass barb fittings in and made a loop with 3/8" fuel line.
Also learned the cans have a drain plug under the flywheel end. Only learned this after we slopped all the spilt oil from the removed filter. Wanted to pass...
Just attach to the chain on the trailer so you don't bend the tabs. Then attach at the tab on the trailer. My max loaded so far has been 600 pounds and no bends anywhere. Be sure you have a rear landing leg, the trailer hooked to a truck or at least 100 pounds at the very front. Otherwise...
If you stand with your left hand on the blower moter, follow the wire that feeds the motor and you will end up at the resistor. Or, just extend your fingers and you will hit it.
Pull it out and look at it. You will see sets of curly cue wires going from one side to the other side of the...
Carpet on the floor makes 101, 105, M715 or M35 camping much more enjoyable in my experience. Especially on cold mornings. I got an 8' x 8' piece of carpet from Home Depot. They call it indor/outdoor carpet for tents. I call it Astroturf. Fits great in a M35 and has to be folded some for...

The same thing is at the bottom of this thread too.
Does it have to be on the dash? You already have 24V buss bars on the passenger side behind the door for the radio. Tie in right there since there are 4 or 5 spare lugs ready for wires.
Find your local Stanadyne dealer. He will be the guy to rebuild the IP. $450-$600 was the prices I found for a complete rebuild within 150 miles of me.
You flat towed a car the entire trip? Cool. What kind of performance and mpg's did you get. I am still trying to figure out where the drop off is on these 6.2's. I know empty, below 60 and flat equals great performance and 20 plus mpgs. Push it over 65 and 16-17 mpg's are reality. I...
You sure it was filled up with diesel last time? Back to the basics. Proper fuel, fuel to the lift pump, pressurized fuel to the IP and fuel back to the tank.
