    M715 forum

    It was running the last few months on a back up patch. I haven’t bothered Jon about it but I am sure it will be back operating soon. If I hear different I will post it here.

    885 FFG carb for parts?

    When you get it right that engine sounds like a sewing machine idling at 450 rpm. The exhaust though will come out the tail pipe with a menacing burble.

    Help with horn

    The horn works off the button on the steering wheel grounding the wire. Warning! You could have 24 volts live there in your lap. 24V hurts. There is a wire connecting the metal sides of the rag joint down at the steering box. Checking that and the wire running through the column would be next...

    Adding Turn Signals?

    Thanks for the links Dave. That is the path I was suggesting.

    Adding Turn Signals?

    A M35 front harness would probably work with simple modifications in a M135.

    Adding Turn Signals?

    The M35 trucks didn’t have blinkers when first introduced. A kit was developed to turn older units into blinkers trucks As time went by. I can see that kit working on the M135 trucks. The existing brake light bulbs and wiring work for the rear. Does the M135 have 3 wires going to the front...

    The brown wires go to the ALT 1 and ALT 2 relays under the dash.

    Door sag

    With the door open. Do you get slop at the hinges if you pick up on the handle end? If so, try to see if it is the upper or lower hinge. Possibly both. If no slop then it comes back to the cab being tweaked or as mentioned above the tolerance of the cab and the tolerance of the door being at...

    AN PTFE

    That is confusing. I would just run -6 everywhere.

    AN PTFE

    I love AN fittings. Easy and infinitely reusable. Route the one from the primary filter under the radiator to the secondary filters with care. That cross member can and does hit things.

    AN PTFE

    I typed the above and then saw your location. Do you have the metal pipe rusting out? That would be a good idea switching over to PTFE. -6 will provide plenty of fuel. There is 1 soft hose connecting parts of the IP to themselves that is very, very hard to get to and another from the frame to...

    AN PTFE

    The numbers for the Army/Navy fittings are in 16ths. So, a -6 would be 6/16 or 3/8. Where are you wanting to replace the steel tubing or rather why? I am all for AN PTFE for fuel hose. However, if there is a pipe that doesn’t leak, why change it is my thinking.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Fuel pump or blocked needle and seat in the carb? My stock engine would just turn off while driving due to crud in the tank blocking off the needle and seat. I was running 2 see thru fuel filters and carrying a few spares for a while. I finally pulled the tank, had it boiled clean and all was...

    Upper Radiator hose for M1008

    I some how actually ordered 2 21284 hoses. They showed up today and both are 1.75” ID on both ends. I think you got a mislabeled part.

    Upper Radiator hose for M1008

    I’ve never seen the M1031 throttle control unit before. Thanks for posting a wide shot.

    Glad you made it home and nice to meet you.

    M1009 Electrical resistors.

    Start with downloading the -20 Technical Manual. It will tell you to start with load checking the batteries and making sure they are fully charged. Then, it has a 120 page troubleshooting section that will give you specific task for each of your issues.

    2025 TX MV Rally

    I just charged the A/C in the M1009 a few minutes ago Clint. I was prepping a ”luxury” convoy for you. See you tomorrow and sorry to hear about your dog.
