    M35 Rear Window

    Small world Jeepsinker. my rig is also a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35a2 w/winch & a ten foot power angle snow plow that detaches with 4 pins & allows use of winch when attached. Still looking for that rear window. Thanks

    M35 Rear Window

    To : Flyingvan911 & everyone else- I have been looking for two years for a "a damaged/rusted out hardtop with a good window.". Best I could find junker was too much $. $500 project for a rear window? ( + shipping) Have tried usual part sources - all dozen of them. I am going to look...

    M35 Rear Window

    Thanks to all, John S-B, Jeepsinker, etc. In my case indeed rust is the only thing holding it in place. Since my M35A2 is bobbed, I am not concerned about originality. I will try & use your ideas, do some cutting and install a sliding window from a pick up truck. I will post details on...

    Plowzilla

    understood. thank you. I will watch dates with more care. But I still have not found a cheap way to get rid of the air-motors for the windshield wipers. I tried 24 vdc motors from a jeep website - but they were too weak. My 10 foot power angle plow is working great. Sorry if I have caused...

    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    Reply for SoundGuy, The pics are worth 1000 words as they say.... My install still looks the same as the day I posted pics on 11/15/2011 - and I have logged many hours of hard use. I can only guess at two causes for the condition in your pics: 1) As discussed- could have benifitted from...

    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    Reply to SoundGuy RE: Paint prep Thanks for reply as it may help others. Your intent was good and your effort at paint prep was excellent. Unfortunately I have found that many carb cleaners actually contain some form of petrolium distilates ( enemy of paint adheasion). I do love carb...

    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    Reply to SoundGuy: I am glad seem as pleased with the set up as I am. I have been running it hard for weeks now and am still entirely pleased. But I am puzzled about your "paint failure". We used the exact same paint and mine has held up perfectly under extreme usage....(?) All I can think of...

    M35A2 Cold Weather Starting problems

    In reply to Heavysteven: I may have used the incorrect term for "Military block heater". If so please excuse me. It is a heating element ( looks like one from a domestic electric water heater). The unit fits into the multi fuel engine block water jacket and plugs into 120 V.A.C. Eastern...

    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    Well I am not a scientist with a Decible meter - But I think saying 1/3 for sure and closer to 1/2. More than 1/2 at idle and less than 1/3 at full open throttle... That is why I get no preformance drop! The Moroso unit is not a "glass pack" straight through muffler". I is actually pretty...

    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    Addressing islandguydon: As I have said previously, everyone has their own preferences. I am pretty sure the larger muffler IS quieter - it looks like it should be... But it was important to me that I retain a "stock" look. I reached a compromise that worked for me. That is not to say it...

    M35 Rear Window

    Thanks for the fast reply! I thought so - I figured I probably would have th buy the frame & glass as a unit. Question is: Do you know anyone selling? Since my glass is good , my other option is to use about 3 tubes of silicone caulk around the perimeter untill I find a replacement...

    M35A2 Cold Weather Starting problems

    I am new to "posting" so I hope errors will be overlooked... I agree with"joec" that the JATONKA setup is good. I live in northern Maine and plow with my Deuce. 1967 multi fuel turbo diesel. I have no cold ( and I mean COLD - like minus 20) starting problems. My procedure is an ass pain but...

    M35 Rear Window

    I am "new" to this "posting" thing so please excuse me. I am looking for a rear window for my hard top M35A2. My glass is good - but the frame is rusted to heck. I have had no luck searching for replacement. Any ideas or leads ....? Thank you
