First a big thanks to Travis in Gainsville Fl for recovering this for me. We had a no start situation. He stopped off at his shop and got it running. Turns out it was a stuck back flow preventer valve on the top of the fuel tank. These A3's don't have a fuel pump in the tank...This A3 was purchased at the Warner Robbins 9/16 sale. I went up right after the auction to asses it. I then made a second trip with a van full of 14.5R20's, generator, compressor etc. Got the 2 bad tires changed out on base by Ratliff Tire. Couldn't get it started... The tool box was locked, a good thing. I got it open and found the full set of original tools, jack, fire extinguishe, triangles etc. Nice! I've ordered the few parts it needs, tail light, mirror, split boot. Someone had taken a forklift and hit all 3, as well as the front light buckets and mud flaps. The truck has 3850 original miles. I'm going to clean it and give it some fresh paint but it doesn't need much at all, unlike an A2 I bought several years ago.

Hey Aztec I got your email emailed you back.


It was great to meet a fellow member. The pics with the flat tires make Hank's truck look kind of rough but in person its in real good shape besides were the gl folk tried to kill it with a forklift.

Hey Hank great to meet you. How is the truck running? Is it starting hard or anything?

The tires are available from Berg Tire in North Carolina. Do a search on Ebay by tire size, he does most of his selling there. I think he is getting $700 for 7, a pretty good deal. Talk to him on the phone and make sure your getting whatever % of wear you think your getting. He has them to almost new condition.

What size tires do the A3's have? I couldn't find it on the side wall anywhere.

Sometimes you get lucky. I got that stuff plus tire irons, a glad hand, air line and a tire inflator just sitting in a plastic basket in the bed when I picked up my M35A2.
