M35A3 valve stem..fill with normal air chuck?

[1 Patriot-of-many]

I have at least one flat from the video of my GL M35A3, I'm not going to assume the CTIS will fill it up, or the special tool is in the vehicle to fill it from the rear air.

I'm taking a generator and compressor when my EUC is approved, is there some special air chuck available I need if neither of the above works or is not present? Or is there some way to use a regular airchuck?

TIA

Just a regular air chuck. If the deuce starts up, you don't even need the compressor. Just rig up a air line with a glad hand to your rear trailer air hookup on the deuce and air from there. You'll need one anyway.
I just hooked up one of those yellow coil air lines to a glad hand, and put an air chuck on it. Works great.

Thank you so much sir! I have some of the coiled air line, just need to buy a glad hand and whatever threading adaptor to the air chuck, probably have it all in my garage except the glad hand.....Think my employer would mind if one of their tractors was missing a glad hand? Just kidding, I'm a straight arrow.

I'm getting hot to pick up my A3!!!! Hope my EUC doesn't take forever. Hopefully beofe the snow and ice starts.


And we do need an M35A3 forum.... I find the majority of my stupid questions simply do not apply to A2's.... I think that's my next MV..... That's bad.... I haven't even gotten my first and I have designs on another..... Those wreckers sure look nice...... If I stop posting suddenly, somebody call the Sheriff, and ask to investigate my wife.

Tip: Pick up one or two of those valve core extensions to make it stick out a little more, and also a clip on air chuck. My tires took 10 minutes each off the gladhand, 60 minutes total in the hot sun. With the clip on you can busy yourself doing something else. My clip on won't fit without the extension.

The A3 doesn't have an aux. air port anywhere like under the glove box in the deuce? CTIS also has a regular schrader valve on the face of the diaphram. Check to see if the air dump (if equiped) is open or closed, its the flat slotted fitting on the elbow where the hose goes into the rim. (This is how the tires and rims I have are, I'd imagine they are all similar.)
