I was over at the former El Toro USMC air base on Saturday helping Key Largo (Walter) work on his M35a2 and noticed this rather odd attachment on his steel mud guards. Its on all four of them same location and height of attachment.
Anybody know what their on their for?
Thanks
Mike

You were looking at a dropside deuce. The rubber things protect the side when it's in the down position.

Yup, the genuine rubber baby buggy bumpers for the M35A2C... and the contraction for they are is they're, not their. I am now applying for the online spell check job as posters do not seem to use the internal function..

The posts are correct. My deuce is a dropside M35A2. Thank you for your help in identifying the function of the rubber bumpers!. -Walter

 

[key-largo]

That was supposed to be M35A2C.

Ace, You will need to pass this test before your application can be considered. Wayne

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

RE: test

I did not pass the test, but I passed up the opportunity... Thank you for your consideration. My next goal is to get to 1000 posts with at least some of them being helpful to the rest of the ODophiles... (my word)...

Come on ACE, spelling errors adds personality. Gramatical errors can be a challange, though.

spelling errors adds personality

Exactly! Even when I do spellcheck a post, I sometimes omit a correction or two just to let my less than perfect personality show through.

Sorry Mike, for getting a bit off topic here!
