2600mile recovery :)

A alternator off a 250 out of a 900 series works but not out of the 800 series. Also you need air to engaged the clutch. And one more question are the hubs on the a2s wet hubs? The axles are different and seem to have a oil filler on each hub

Try giving B&W auto Electric just north of Baltimore a call. 410-665-8998

They used to stock all types of parts for Leese Neville, both 12 and 24 volt systems.

They are located about 45 minutes south of John's Apple's shop, on Harford Rd in Parkville MD.

Looks like he has a couple wood pieces stuck in his troop seats. Have fun with that. It is a nightmare getting those out.

Hi, Sean
I'm glad to see your on the road.

915 miles around chicago, going through columbus, Indianaplis and around bloomngton Illinois.
Chicago after 6-7 pm on the 80-294-290-90 route, bypass around downtown is fast. and the I-80, Penn. turnpike, is pretty fast as well.
Your recovery is fun!
Dennis

May you have fair winds and following seas the rest of your journey.

I can't find a Carlie, PA in Google maps so I have no idea where you are right now. You should have my contact info if you need help through Ohio.

 

[Nonotagain]

That's because is spelled Carlisle Pa.

He's west of York Pa by a few miles.

 

[swbradley1]

I hoped he was just tired when he posted, Carlisle I found.

Tired isn't even the word for it.

Well it's 7:19 just did my pre trip in the pouring rain everything is good didn't burn a drop of oil headed for Indianapolis today and then north to Dane WI. I must say these windshield wipers are pretty amazing compared to the ones in my 813

If you go past a Walmart, stop in and get some RainX washer fluid. Combined with a good set of wiper blades, you'll be able to see without having to use the wipers under most conditions.

And while you're at it, clean the windows inside the truck using the RainX spray on window cleaner. They won't fog up.

Keep chugging. I recovered my M35A3 from Georgia about three years ago. It ran a red-hot smoking 50 mph through rain, snow and miserable heat and made it 2500 miles without a hitch. I'm pretty sure it is the only one around eastern Washington. It averaged about 10mpg.

Good luck with the rest of your adventure. A Wal-Mart road atlas is awesome, it is updated with the locations of every Wal-Mart on earth. If you stop for Rain-X see if you can find one. They don't have a lot of mil-surp parts but they usually have most everything else and are close tot he highway. You can even sleep in their parking lots overnight on occasion.

At 12:16PM EST Sean was 30 miles east of Washington, PA headed west on I-70.

 

[seano11]

Just got into West Virginia just walking around the truck for a few and gonna get some fuel and then keep on going

 

[swbradley1]
