    Soon to be broke!

    Thanks hndrsonj, I kinda figured she'd go a bit more, just don't want her to quit on that 18 mile bridge in LA. I'm sure that would make folks very mad with me. I'll blast off in the morning and see what happens. I did look for quotes to trailer her if need be, but the further down the road...

    Soon to be broke!

    Just a very small poof, nothing explosive. i'll look for that, and also the one on the trans. I did notice a four point "hex" screw, like the one on the steering lube fill. Head forward, on the top right. Any idea what that is? And thanks Tim, if it's ok to stop by for a visit, and...

    Soon to be broke!

    It is an airshift, and I saw that line, no problems there. I thought the other was the tach, but the tm said it was a tube. Mabey the cable goes through the tube? Was wondering about that. So I tightened the 1" nut on the T-Case ans it stopped. And Wow, what a quick reply, Thanks P.S. The...

    Soon to be broke!

    In the middle of moving. San Antonio to Daytona Beach, and I am in Beaumont, TX.. Started out at 0700, and all was well. (Now, before everyone says do a search, and look at the TM's, I spent the last five hours doing just that.) So, if anyone saw a eastbound deuce on I-10, holding up traffic...

    Thanks, I do have that switch, but I have not tried it yet. Which brings up another question reguarding the trans. The TM's say not to roll while in netural. Will this cause damage to the truck, or simply a safety issue, where as in gear and your brakes fail, to use the engine to slow your...

    Update: Nothing happend two days ago, for it rained all day. Spent most of the day looking through the manuals I got online. (Gona get kinkos to print the larger ones) Yesterday the rain/mist cleared up abot 10 a.m., and I was off to work. Sun was out about 65 and I was gold. I did...

    One other thing I read was that if you are in gear for one direction, and allow the machine to roll the opposite way, it messes up the clutch, or something in there? ie. at a stoplight in first and you roll backwards.

    Fisrt Deuce

    Update: Got up this morning to overcast skies, and a slight sprinkle. Didn't think I'd get much done today, but had her on the road finally. Spent a couple hours tring to get the brass darincock out of the fuel filter canister. Finally went and got a tap and die set (first time using one)...

    Couple other items: 1. Cleaning out the exit port on the wiper motor got them going full blast. I read about putting tool oil in the air pack. I am not sure which line to remove. I looked in the TM, and found the bleeder on the pack, (looks like a grese port) but cannot locate the line to...

    Update 2: Well the test drive went well, just went around the bolck. Brakes were great (better than my other two cars). No pulling to the side, nothing. BTW parking brake is vert tight, and I was very careful. After the drive, I did not notice any w/c leaking, and the m/c was still full...

    Update: I pressurized the system, and that worked wonderfuly. Now the pedal stops 2" to 3" from the floor, and I can't push it further. Have not road tested it yet, mabey later. I do hear the fuel pump in the tank turn on with power. Guess a filter change is next. Thanks all

    Thanks Keith On the brakes, I'll try that. The left front has what appears to be lubricant at the 6:00 position; not brake fluid. Also, I mixed new purple fluid in the jar with the bleed fluid. As of now it is still in a constant state.:lol: Thanks Runk I'll try that in the morning...

    I did not bleed the air pack. I have looked in the TM's, but do not see where to bleed the bugger. Also read posts about the pack but do not see where to do it. Another post said about draining the MC, and there are little holes. Again, I do not see that either

    Howdy All, Finally found one, got her at the house this A.M.. Anyway, after going over everything, I have a few questions. First of all, I have been reading here for awhile, downloaded any publications on the M35 I could find. Even talked to a few in the San Antonio area. Thanks all, for the...

    Those who have/will buy at Ft. Sam (SAT)

    Close gunny, I drove them in the reserves, pmcs , all that. I want to get my "hands dirty" to help other aspiring MV owners get their vechicles from Ft. Sam. Since I live close to a base that selles them, that's all. Sounds like a lot of fun, besides sittin on the puter all day! Blinky

    Those who have/will buy at Ft. Sam (SAT)

    Have not, but will for the next lot on the 29th. The deal is i will donate my time for experience, and help those here in the San Antonio area in return. Would like a deuce to help recover/transport for those aspiring to join the MV club!
