Just wanted to throw out a quick hello. Been reading this forum as a non-member for a long time. Every time I search anything on military vehicles, I end up on this site almost exclusively. The wealth of knowledge is astounding, so thanks to everyone who adds to that. Just picked up my first M105 trailer this past weekend, and heading out in a few days for pickup of an M35A2. Looking forward to learning more and more.

Welcome from North Carolina!

Happy to hear that you have a M105. Picture it up and post it here. Even if it needs a little work, it will show you where you have been and you can impress your friends (that's us) with your new "toy".

Be sure to spend a few minutes in the https://www.steelsoldiers.com/#technical-manuals.95 TM Section to gather the "skinny" on getting ready to get your M35 home. Gather your tools and a few jugs of water and a few gallons of oil. Double check your gearboxes for good fluid level and look carefully at the back of the the brake plates - where leaky wheel cylinders might show up.

If you happen to be driving her home, might be worth stopping and giving everything a look just five miles or so down the road. Maybe again in another twenty miles, look again. Time spent looking will be cheap insurance!

Best of luck on your upcoming Deuce acquisition and be sure to take PICTURES :cool:

Hope you can find your way down off the mountain for the Denton Rally in April!

@Mullaney , absolutely. Downloaded the TM and read through it a couple times– of course, will take it with me. Truck loaded down with tools, extra fluids, jack, jack stands, torque multiplier, and anything else I can think of. We'll break the trip home into a couple of days... wife in trail with our truck as a just in case. It's a long trip home from Jacksonville FL back to NC.

And @microjeep, yessir... been visiting that old grouch– the senior one– since high school back in the 90s. Spent my share of paychecks there over the years.
