The 9th Inf. Div. was for all intents and purposes, NON-OP. And not just a few weeks. My contact team at Yakama Firing Range had to turn in all their gear, trucks, test equipment and the whole 9 yards, to have it compleatly overhauled. My NCOIC loved to drink a few beers and tell the tale of...

Its only money. :LOL:

I never looked at it. Never. Changed the air filter IAW the LO. No, thats not quite right. In Ft.Lewis, 1980, after St. Helens popped off, we looked every single day at our gen set ARI. Both on post and at Yakama firing range. Oil, fuel and air filters were changed every 25 hours. And we still...

Mark, sorry I let this slip by. There is simply too much going on. The guy I asked today, wanted a company header to look at, and I am but a poor diesel duck. I reminded him I had called before. "Too bad. You worked for the firma Münch, and they were the company. You no longer employed there."...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! But you are careful and know what your doing. This can not always be said.

When I had a soldier who needed an attitude adjustment, guess what job was up at the top of the list to do after duty hours. And without all the nice to have tools.

I took an ARI, (air restriction indicator) apart in 1973? 1974? when I was bored stiff one night/morning, at 04:00. In the engine compartment, nothing has a spring so small and thin, that I can think of, other than the ARI.

You are assuming a lot here. Over speed and the starter have nothing in common. EDIT: Thats not totally true. IF, the set shut down for an over speed event, the A2 will not let you start the set again, until you reset the A2. IF, the A2 is bad, it could be stuck in the Over Speed shut down mode...

I am going to guess, the air restriction indicator. But like everyone else has written, trash, toss it.

This thread needs to be in the M35A3 forum. Away we go.

If its a kit, then whats the NSN. Maybe we can find out if its meant for your truck, or another type.

I never hooked a new one up. But I just put a call in to someone who might have done one. Lets see if the old fart will pick up the horn and answer me. So as my Grandpa would have said, "Hold the phone!!" I will get back to you ASAP.

Once you use the gear wrench, you will throw away your old bar and wrench. Believe me.

I have never seen a military bought/supplied float lose buoyancy. Never. Fall apart, turn to dust/powder, loose the magnets, wires loose in the plug, but never loose buoyancy. The contacts can stick in the metal rod. Or get burnt and not make contact correctly. So take it out, put it in a...
