Jon, I finally removed the manhole cover on the tank. the inside was clean and oily. The tank is also the oil reservoir for the compressor. I will get it inspected once, if ever I find the parts needed for the compressor's engine.

After some time and Florida, I moved to Oklahoma. Finally getting down to finishing the brakes and servicing the front axle. Replacing all the 1/4 brake lines on the axles and the flexible lines/wheel cylinders on the front axle. Next, remove the knuckle and finish cleaning. That boot has seen...

there are two, they are interchangeable.

My M45 truck built in 1957. I think it's a second generation truck after the initial contract order in the early 50's. It didn't enter service until the early 60's being that's when the chassis was married with Harris Equipment Air Compressor. I'll get to the point through all this rambling, the...

Is this number for A3s for trucks delivered by AM General only or including A2s converted to A3s?

I had some data plates that where the black background was faded. I used some liquid soap and a soft toothbrush to clean them up. Then sprayed the data plates with a couple layers of clear coat. I put the data plates in a safe place, so I don't have pictures to share.

I remember cold war vets talking about 60/40 mix of DF2 and JP4 while cruising the Autobahn. Some crazy thing about flames coming out the stack. I can run my Deuce on straight gasoline, but then again, it is a gasser lol

It runs behind both. The pipe hangs right inside and below the frame rail. Marcus

Sounds like pressure being released through the vent lines.

Here's some new pictures and ideas. I pulled out this ling rusty flat stock that has two drilled out rivets and some snapped fasteners. This, as it turns out, is the original threaded plate for the window frames. It was held in by two rivets. It looks like when the M35A2 was upgraded to an A3...

I have new frames. The old frames are ok, but the bolts holding the windows in actually came out easy. Now I jinxed myself. Just the front is rusted, everything else is solid.

TM 9-2320-209- 35 has the instructions for the hot water heater and flame winterization kit. I have the manual in PDF, but it's to large to attach. I do not have a clue how to submit it for upload into the TM section.
