I don't know if this helps, mkcoen; but I buy some specialty items sometimes from this hardware catalog called McFeely's:First on the list of broken but not obvious is the driver's seat adjuster. The knob is broken off. It's not that big of a deal as I can still move it and adjust the seat but would like to find a seat frame (only way I can see to fix it) to replace what's broken. The driver's seat back is toast but I think I can take the one off the middle seat (which is missing the brackets to bolt to the floor) and replace that.
Thanks! I've used them in the past on woodworking projects. The problem here is that not just the knob is missing but the attach point is broken off flush with the slide mechanism. There is no place to attach any thing.I don't know if this helps, mkcoen; but I buy some specialty items sometimes from this hardware catalog called McFeely's:
- And they have some jig handles and knobs that maybe you could use if you can't find OEM replacements.
Here's a link

Simple and easy is just replacing it. Of course finding one usually isn't simple and easy.Nothing is ever just plain simple and easy.
It seems to just always be like that doesn't it!?
'M35 Adam' has some seats removed from a scrapper MTV. The seats are not very good but bet that adjustment handle is good. Adam has a recent advert for an M-105 (today) that would help locate him easily.Simple and easy is just replacing it. Of course finding one usually isn't simple and easy.
I actually just pulled the ones associated with the TM Troubleshooting guide. I will follow your suggestion going forward though. I'm hoping to keep electrical issues to a minimum as that's definitely not one of my strong suits.Are you guys pulling all the beakers ? If so may I suggest putting some dielectric on the prongs .
Did you "scrub" any of them clean; or did you just pop them all out and then pop them back in again?Tail lights were an easy fix. Just followed the -10 troubleshooting section which looked first at circuit breakers CB 43, CB 44, and CB 67. All looked okay but I still pulled them out, checked for corrosion, then reinstalled them. Bingo! Tail lights are now working.
I just checked them. They are were still shiney so didn't see a need to go any further. It could have just been a matter of one of them vibrating a little out of the slot and not making a good connection. I went through the whole panel and made sure no other ones were tripped and all seated well.Did you "scrub" any of them clean; or did you just pop them all out and then pop them back in again?
There's marine business...in AZ!?Get one of the stainless steel welding brushes (small one) they work well. And don't leave anything what will brake down behind. I work in the marine business and that is what we have learned.Can you say SALT WATER ? LOL
