    M35 Troop Seats for sale?

    I've got a couple of sets in KS 66933. @Jbulach has dibs on one set, but the other one is up for grabs. Where in IA are you?

    I've driven many an auction truck home. You're not wrong.

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Did you have it connected via alligator clamps, or hardwired in, or connected to the slave port? This is the charger that makes a maximum of 4 amps at 24v, right? And trickles off from there as the batteries become charged? What kind, and how many batteries? How old?

    Cost of rear main seal replacement on an 8.3?

    This is a bigger deal than it sounds like. Personally, I'd be tempted to pour it in faster than it comes out unless you have a really bad leak. Changing to synthetic was a bad idea. Of course you know that *now*.... The gasket/seal involving the oil pan is continuous or at least interrelated...

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Please be sure and follow up and let us know the results. I've got that exact model battery charger on several of my trucks and gensets. In fact, I've sold more than a handful of those here on steelsoldiers.com to fellow members. This is the first instance of a problem that I've seen.

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    The federal requirement is only applicable when engaged in interstate commerce. And it kicks in for even a pickup truck with a 10,001lb trailer if you are in fact engaged in commerce. In AZ for example, antique military vehicles are specifically and explicitly excluded from requiring a CDL...

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    You've made a bunch of assertions that are specific to California and even more specific to your experience within California. They don't apply elsewhere. They're merely one data point on a spectrum of data points. Many states don't require anything but a normal driver license for a...

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    Maybe, but they're going to hate it. It's really not similar to modern commercial truck designs. I'd rent a truck and trailer. Give them something plain vanilla that they're used to dealing with.

    Hard Start, Black Smoke, Knock Under Acceleration, No Power (After Injection Pump Swap)

    I find it amazing that it'll run 180* off.

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    Air brakes would be a direct connect, and possibly provide springbrake emergency brakes as well. LED lights would allow for using 12v or 24v. I haven't compared deuce pintle height to dump truck pintle height. It's going to be at least somewhat close or better.

    Batteries, Charging, and using a Winch question.

    I'm thinking you just depleted the battery. Charge it and load test it.

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    Either of the two trailers I pictured would tow dead level. Electric brakes and lights would need some tweaking.

    This kind of thing? What size tires on the deuce?

    Tan one sold. The other one has not.

    Cargo truck Troop seats, Cincinnati to Findlay, and points in between.

    Lol. Different but very similar trailer. This one got PT wood. The other one is going to get smooth 3/16" plate. I'll pick up the steel while we're in St Louis next weekend.

    What engines will fit in an M37?

    The appeal of a diesel can't be overstated. @G744 probably has something useful to say...

    You can stare at the release code on the post sale info. When the code disappears it has been picked up.

    Cargo truck Troop seats, Cincinnati to Findlay, and points in between.

    I've got plenty of KS prairie available if you're wanting to set up tents. Coyotes might keep them awake. Or the Owls. The field wasn't the primary target of the pic, but it's still shown
