My M35a2 has some leaking brake cylinders on the front and a axle seal leaking on the rear.
My plan was to do a full service on the front axle and the seals on the rear.
But... I have run into the chance to have any work done to the truck I want for minimal labor cost if I supply the parts...

Like most other military equipment, they have been repaired, rebuilt and...
Right now it will cost me about $45 or so to run the 002 for a day or X2 that in the summer for the 003 to run AC.
Just a decent hotel would be more than that, if you can find one in a power outage with power and a vacant room. Then there is food, inconvenience, the time and cost to drive back...

I have a 3 ton A/C. My MEP-002a starts it ok but you can tell it's working hard and will run it, the lights, TV's, computers, Fridge and a freezer in the garage at about 80%.
Adding any additional load (Microwave, washer/dryer, etc) is too much.
I can run everything above plus the microwave...
Thanks!!
By looking at this manual I found the part TM for a larger pump unit and it took me to quickvalve.com and I was able to search for a smaller version... Perfect!!

Not cheap, but better than cobbling it together unnecessarily..

I have a couple of 3kw generators with the Yanmar conversion. They run great but I would like to make changing the oil easier.
It looks like the drain plug is metric, m16X1.5. I'm trying to find an adapter to go to 3/8 mpt or fpt so I can install a valve and drain hose...
Any ideas.
