My new M35A1 project

[scooter01922]

Don't really have many good turbo pics but here is another, couresty of BC. It is a pretty good lookin turbo. Well, hasn't actually fired yet sumoman, just testing it system by system. Will add some fuel to the good cranking i'm getting and have her running soon. I WILL get you guys some vid of the first start. Plans for this truck is a bunch more maint, a good scrubbing, some sanding/sandblasting a nice coat of green and then use it. Will be used to plow the access road to the truck storage area a mile or so at most. Be a fitting semi retirement for the old gal. Let me tell ya, that is one BIG plow.

Thanks man, look like you beat me to it.

awwww a plow???????

 

[scooter01922]

Yeah, didn't you see it in the first set of pics on the first page, you can't miss it its a 12 footer.

About the brakes, likely the wheel cylinders are in need of attention, and may need brake hoses. I was able to get by for a couple drives with just adding fluid and bleeding on the crane, but the entire system needed rebuilt.

Sorta what i'm expecting to find. Need to move it a bit before i can really crawl around under there. Hoping to find stuff in decent shape. We shall see i guess.

Scooter,
Nice find! I have an extra drivers side door if you need it. If you need help with anything let me know. I sure have the time right now.

Scooter, you'll like those goodyears as I ran a set for a while and they were great in the snow and mud.

 

[Boatcarpenter]

scooter definitely needs those Goodyears to get through that that huge mudhole where he parks his trucks.

LOL, yes I remember that video

 

[scooter01922]

You are just ruthless BC.....were we not just talking about that vid the other night....
The "huge mudhole" has been fixed anyway by me and my bobcat

 

[StrykerPez]

Any chance I could convince you to crawl around in the mud and get me some pics of how they did that exhaust system?

 

[oilcan]

It should be in the tm's, but I'm not 100% sure.

It is a factory exhaust system, and I've only seen it on gasser trucks until now. (Pretty cool!)

 

[scooter01922]

Sure, i can get more pics of the exhaust. That is as soon as i can pull it forward a bit. I don't think i have ever seen as much dog crap in one place as there was in front of that truck. Since we pulled the truck ahead 10 feet or so its all under there somewhere. I really feel no need to go looking for it. Once i'm on clean ground i'll crawl around a bit.
