Wow! What a thread! Twenty five pages to read through. My experiences: (all M35-A2's)1st truck with LDT-465-1C. No smoke. Great fuel mileage. Alot of noise. Slow as a rock. 2nd truck Ld-465 non turbo. A lot of smoke, no power, so-so fuel milage, pretty quiet. (had a muffler). 3rd...

That's where I went initially. I'm going to try again this week; I've talked to a notary and was advised to ask fo a supervisor of questioned again. It seems it was the person handlingy application was the problem.

I bought a M810 about 4 years ago and it took this long to get it ready for the road. So I gathered all my pictures, SF97, and Title Reassignment form and headed off to the PA DOT today. The rep there told me that they were unable to process/give a title due to PA not recognizing the...

Does anyone here know the spicer # and NSN for a 5 ton pto as used on the 800 series. Looking particularly for the rear facing shaft model but will take numbers for the two shaft model as well. Thanks, Rick

I repowered my Deuce dump with a LDS engine about 2 years ago. Much better torque; hangs in on the hills much better. As for the differences, I think (I have not confirmed this) the pistons, cam, pump, injectors, and valve rockers (different ratio) are different. Of course not to leave out...

Here's a thought to the administrators- would a "wanted to buy" or "WTB" section be helpful for those looking for parts/trucks/items?

looking for the pto. Need price and if you have shipping price to Central PA. Thanks, Rick

I have a thermo-syphion zero-start on my duece. So far it works fine; it's 1500 watt. It seems faster to heat the engine than the freeze plug ones I have in my backhoe and my 5000 ford tractor. The backhoe and 5000 are dealer items from the manufacturer so I'm assuming they are sized right...

Chris, while I do not post very often I check the site multiple times a day to keep up to date. Perhaps another suggestion would be to be careful what our avatars depict. The old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds very true. While none are offensive to me, a random viewer may...

Is this something we should consider? http://www.dlis.dla.mil/demil/demil_instructions.asp

Does anyone have cross reference numbers for the seals for the deuce pto? The front output shaft seal on mine is shot. I'd like to have it on hand before I tear it down. Thanks, Rick

Sephirothg, I missed your post on the 2nd somehow. I have an M35A2 with a Civvy dump conversion, multiple trailers and about 7 M35A2's in various stages of disassemble for parts. Also an M810 that had a military water tank on it. Where did you get your glow plug? I still need one and...

I've tried NAPA but they must get them in a box of 6 I am told. I'm going to check Cummins next. There are online sources. Where in Trevorton are you? I'm about 20 miles south in Gratz.

My M810 when I got it had not been run for years the way it looked. I put fuel in it; bled everything and then we pulled it to start. It started easily; idled nicely until I "stabbed" the throttle and it ran away. I shut it off with the emergency shut off cable. Took off the pump; had it...

It's a truck with 3 axles, 10 wheels, and all wheel drive made to haul stuff nearly anywhere you would want. I thought they made machines to crush cars? Forest was right "you can't fix stupid". My opinion.
