Are the one-piece ones silicone rubber?

Welcome from the Northern Sonoran Desert! Sorry for the thread hijack, but... Back in late '83, I started restoring an armored M966 TOW missile carrier for a client in Prescott, AZ. It was one of the original 24 test bed trucks from AMG, S/N 00024. Several of them were sold as excess by the...

The 90's F700 parts would work fine for the GVW of the M35. There will be no "bolt up" way, until someone makes and markets an adapter kit to go along with those parts.

The deal on those kits is the bracketry to support the caliper, and machining the hub to allow a welded flange to mount the rotor on. Any good machinist can build those parts to fit whatever caliper/rotor you find that will take the load OK. I have a Ford F700, and the disc setups on it look...

Used to be one could soak rubber stuff like that in DOT3 for a while. It really lubes it up. Another thing used on rubber things is carb cleaner in the gallon can. It makes rubber really 'loose', and just about the only way to get the pedal floor seals on without destroying them. The...

If you mean the part that folds down on the hood, garage door bottom seal is a pretty good sub. If you mean that which goes around the flip-up glass, that is best ordered from an MV parts dealer. A hint--it is the same on G744 series 5-tons and M35 2.5 tons.

No worse than holding an 80lb bag of concrete mix over your head, while getting 3 bigassed bolts out...

The Bendix may be jammed in the flywheel. This can cause the starter to spin very fast last time it was running, then throw some windings and lock up.

Some weasel may have gotten away with it!

Lugnut torque is something shops seem to think is proper when they stall out a 1" air wrench on every one. Then, if one has a flat, you'll never get them loose with hand tools. Plus, that will eventually dish out the beveled hole in the wheels, too. In many, many miles in tacticals, I've...

They are driven together by the intermediate drive shaft, AKA they are constantly locked into "4-wheel drive". It would take a very unusual event to shear off 10 wheel studs. Were you running duals or singles? Not that that really matters in your case. Offhand, I'd say you had a hard failure...

All thru the '80s We had 2 model 15 Teletype machines in the radio station relaying UPI & AP news. Both machines were maintained by paid techs on a monthly basis, and never gave any trouble. Some things I'll never forget about TTY are the smell, sounds, and how much oil they used on them...

Valve tappets can make a ticking sound in step with RPMs. A bit loose valve is loads better than one too tight. It is a full afternoon job to set them, but good training and worth it.

The Phoenix metro has many ARCO gas stations.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was taught military Diesel-powered devices (vehicles, gensets, pumps, eTc) were specified with specially hardened fuel pump and injector components to allow the use of arctic grade fuel, which lacks lubricity as it would cause gumming at extreme low temperatures...

The black smoke is indicating full rail on the fuel, normal for that condition. White smoke usually occurs with a cold Diesel. Blue smoke indicates burning a little oil, should dissipate when up to temp.

Not that you need another one, but I have a good radiator out here in AZ.

My M543A2 was sold a long time ago. No clue where it is now.

I just installed a new Zerk in the bell, and used a salvaged top cap on the bottom to ease lubing things.
