I picked up my M818 from Redstone earlier this week (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/military-vehicle-road-trips/50617-redstone-m818-recovery.html). I've been working on fixing her up this week. The first thing I did was a field repair to the radiator that was damaged by a forklift. Next was...

Last Tuesday Wreckman and I headed out to Redstone Arsenal to recover my M818 with his 915. I had to tow it due to the radiator being punctured by a forklift...never fails. We met WM just off post and headed to the GL office. Mike (One of the Redstone GL guys) was nice enough to load us out even...

I have a couple things I would like someone to preview/inspect early next week at Wright-Patt. Please PM me if your available. Thanks! cleb

Hot Hub Hello all, I got my M35A2 at Ft. Lewis about a year ago. One the way back the most rear hub on the drivers side ran hot. I got the truck home, and after a month or 2, it started leaking gear oil into the brakes, and pushed the grease out. I took both sides on that axle apart...

Hello all, On my way to school last August (360 mile trip) my in tank pump failed, and my speedo adapter on the transfer case started leaking gear oil everywhere. So, I am in need of a good working takeout pump, and a speedo adapter with seal, that doesn't leak. Adapter is for stock 9.00x20...

I am on I-5 at a rest area just north or Everette, WA. I have been at freeway speeds for about an hour or so, and pulled in at a rest area about 15 miles ago, and noticed a bit of gear oil over the diff, and tires. I went to the next rest area and looked more closely. It seems the gear oil is...

Just finished driving ~360 miles or so in a deuce, delivering the "Evil Bunny" truck to the buyer in Spokane. Took about 8 hours, and was pretty uneventful, although very hot. I'll snag pics off my phone when I get the cable and time. EDIT: Ok, now I'll add more details. I've been so busy I...

Well, I got my first deuce from Lewis a couple months ago, with the help of MilitaryRestorations (Thread: http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=21080). I decided I wanted to get a winch, so instead of buying a winch and trying to find all the pieces, I thought why not...

I looked under the Deuce this morning to see gear oil on the inside of the rim :/. I need to replace the inner and outer seal on that axle (Rear) before the 4th. Is there a Napa number for the seals? I didn't find anything in the cross reference section, just the pinion seals. I would order from...

I got my first M35A2 from Ft. Lewis a few months ago with MilitaryRestorations help (Story here: http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=21080). That truck didn't have a winch, and after looking at winch prices, it made sense to get a winch truck, put the winch on my...

Hello, If anyone is heading to Ft. Lewis before this Thursday (6/5) and has time to inspect a couple trucks, PM me. Thanks, Caleb

I just picked up my first M35A2 at Ft. Lewis earlier this week. The bumpers have the following on them: Passenger side: 81BDE 181SRT Drivers side: B1204. From what I can figure its 81st Brigade, 181st Brigade Support Battalion, Bravo company vehicle 1204. Bravo company looks to be based out of...

The EUC for my M35A2 cleared yesterday, and the recovery is planned for Tuesday. I will be driving from school (University of Idaho) to Ft. Lewis (Leg 1: http://tinyurl.com/4vnez6), get the truck running, and if all goes as planned, drive from Ft. Lewis, to Lopez Island (Leg 2...

I have a M135 parts truck. It pretty much has everything intact besides the winch, and air lines, gladhands, instrument panel, fiberglass top, exaust stack. The body is pretty rusted, it was at a marina. I would say the drivetrain is the most useful bit of it. It has a good engine, and...

Hello all, I have been looking to buy a M35A2 for a while. I had a M211 a few years ago, but I sold it to one day buy a M35A2 ( I wanted a diesel truck, for many reasons). I am looking at a truck, with the following features/issues. Asking price is 6k. What I know about it so far... I have...

Sorry for the cross post, didn't find this forum until after I posted in Conversations. Looking for a M35A2, saw that Ft. Lewis has a lot of 6 trucks ending in ~week. Has anyone looked at this lot? I'm currently south for Spring break, and live a ways from Lewis, so a bit hard for me to run...
