    M135 Wiper parts needed?

    We need two of the small collar like parts that are held on the wiper motor shaft by the two small Allen set screws. Ours are worn nearly smooth. We would replace if we can find new or much better ones? Anyone know where these may be found? Thanks

    Willys F Motor Oil?

    So I changed the oil to Rotella T 15 W 40. At first seemed to have higher oil pressure. But after a good run it is about the same. At idle it is near zero? Could this be normal for these engines? I have heard some so it is? I sure don't like it. But it runs fine and seems to be ok, but...

    Willys F Motor Oil?

    Still has the synthetic blend in it. I do not like that but have seen other places that a lot are using synthetic?? Runs good, sounds good. But does have a tappet sound happening. Also once wormed up, has very low oil pressure especially at idle. Just about ZERO. Wonder if using the Rotella...

    Wire size to use?

    Thanks guys. OK, I have some 24 ga wire and am going to make up the loop to the push button. The wire I am replacing has an in-line fuse. Do I need that? Seems like just another place for a bad contact?

    Wire size to use?

    I appreciate all the advice. We worked on it for years with Dad and now that he is gone my brothers and I decided to give it to Ben because he is the only veteran of five Grandsons. Dad wanted to restore it to haul veterans in parades and other ceremonies and such. Which we been doing for...

    Wire size to use?

    My Son's 1952 M135, inherited from my Daddy has been modified to standard shift tranny. Part of that is a different starter motor that is powered by a push button on the dash. When Dad did this he just used a piece of light electric extension cord for the two wires need. We often get a...

    M135 Shimmy trouble

    I must have missed your earlier comment regarding a tire coming apart? But how could I find it? Would I just change the other front wheel? I already did the drivers side. Thanks to all as always.

    M135 Shimmy trouble

    UPDATE. Got to spend a few hours with my Son on this truck this afternoon. First, It has that fabricated brace between the springs added. We found a lot of play in the pitman arm so we adjusted it up snug plus a little. We do not have a scale to use per the TM. I will get something to use if I...

    M135 Shimmy trouble

    Friends, I appreciate all your replies. In answer to some of the questions, we only switched the driver side tire. Also, I will check the air pressure. We have always used just 55# per tire, but keeping them all even at that. Yes they are the old military type tires. They appear decent...

    M135 Shimmy trouble

    Only switched the drivers side wheel and tire. I will look at the manual regarding the king pins. But everything is so big and so heavy it's hard to tell if all is tight or just hard to move cause it's so heavy? Gotta try though.

    In going thru my Dad's plunder I have found a couple manuals, in what looks like original carrying pouches? One is OD canvas, the other heavy plastic or rubber. The manuals appear to both be the same manual but each in it's own bag. Army TM 9-2320-361-10 Air Force To 36A12-1B-1094-1 I guess my...
