    Starter help needed

    No it didn't, which is probably the reason for the trouble in the first place. There's a piece of angle iron bolted to the block that appears to have been somebody's attempt at a bracket, but it wasn't bolted to the starter. the proper bracket and bolts are coming in at the dealer tomorrow...

    Starter help needed

    Yes sir, that's the one. The guy at the garage said it was a good truck, they just haven't been able to keep a starter in it. Now I see why.

    Starter help needed

    Hey guys, My uncle bought a M1009 from one of the local towns, and I volunteered to help him get it going. I picked it up today and the guy said it had a broken starter bolt. Once I got underneath it and dropped the starter, I found a huge issue. The remaining starter bolt is larger than the...

    M35A2 Brake Service Questions

    Thanks Steve. I'll definitely keep the plugs just in case, but we won't be transporting it that way. I'm buying it from a friend so we can fix it before I take it home.

    M35A2 Brake Service Questions

    Thanks Valence. That's good info, I was very close to buying the kits without cup expanders. I found the DOT5 brake fluid as well. For whatever reason, they keep the big bottles in the back at the commercial desk, that's why all I was seeing were the little motorcycle sized bottles, so it is...

    M35A2 Brake Service Questions

    Hey guys, I've been looking for a long time and it seems I've finally found a deuce. It's a 1970 AMG M35A2 with 1995 overhaul tags. It's in pretty nice shape, but the guy I'm buying it from has the brake line blocked off to the rear axle because of a right rear wheel cylinder leak. There's a new...

    Thanks Doghead. I appreciate the information.

    Year and manufacturer unknown?

    Hey guys, I'm still looking for a deuce, and there are a few up for auction not too far away. A couple of them are listed as "year and manufacturer unknown". They have pictures of the data plates and sure enough, there is no manufacturer listed, just the NSN and vehicle number fields are filled...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Think I could put a snorkel kit on one and drive it home?

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    I must be missing something. Where does one find a Norwegian deuce?

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Yes, LDS was what I meant. Thanks for the info. If it will keep the exhaust temp down I will look toward the LDT turbo. I was thinking they had no benefit to the engine other than making the exhaust look better.

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    I'd buy a 5-ton in a heartbeat if registration wasn't such a hassle. I've looked into it and it appears in NC i would have to register it as a commercial truck, get a class B (I think) CDL and keep a log. At least, that's how I read it. If anybody is running a 5-ton privately in NC I'd like very...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    No stumps, I'd use the winch more for pulling them in the right direction as we're cutting them and then drag the trunks with the truck. I do it now with my F-250 but could use a little more weight for the bigger trees. We cut 8 or 10 a year for firewood and I have some shooting lanes to clear.

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Other than having one less moving part, no reason for the smoke really, except for looks. I wouldn't turn down a good deal on an LDT if it came along. As far as "turning up the fuel", will you get about the same response out of an LD and LDT or is there more power to be had with the LDT (is the...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    There will definitely be a winch one way or another. I'd prefer to buy one with a working winch, but if I found the right deal on a nice WO/W I would add either an original or aftermarket electric winch later. One of the main jobs for the truck will be pulling trees so a winch will help a lot...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Thanks ATPTac. I might take you up on that. I'm stuck at work offshore right now but I'll be back in a few weeks. I'd like to look at yours before I pull the trigger on one.

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Does the turbo make a noticeable difference in power? I was under the impression from reading some other threads on here that the only purpose of the turbo on the LDT engine was to clean up the exhaust smoke and that the only turbo that added performance was on the LDH engines. If it makes more...

    M35 or M211 for a first deuce?

    Thanks for the replies everybody. I'll look towards the multi fuel. I like that factor as I have some good sources of used oil. Probably a stupid reason, but mostly for the smoke factor, that and I prefer as few moving parts as possible. How reliable are the turbo engines, and what is the...
