:popcorn: Omg Dan, that was a funny &:)-$ read i had my M135 delivered ($$$) to my doorstep so I have no 'let's drive it home stories'....but I did crash into the ditch 50 feet from my driveway last weekend

Thanks guys... I have heard they are pretty simple and usually just require maint to keep working forever... has anyone used a adjustable racing pump( simply to get fuel pressure and volume correct)?

the truck?.... Or the fuel pump? the truck is running good enough that I drove it into the ditch in front of my house and had to get the neighbour to pull it out with a bulldozer........

Anyone got any pointers on the fuel pump? its time to get rid of the 50cal ammo can sitting next to the battery gravity feeding the carb the fuel was disconnected electrically when I got the truck so I figure something is up with it

That's nice!! But honestly...I have never seen a 101 Iltis trailer with a spare tire or fuel can mounts...(23 years Canadian armed forces)

Brake fluid....? What is/was the most likely fluid used in a Canadian M135?...what should I use?...Were these trucks ever converted to silicone fluid?...If I have no idea about anything whats best to start with?....can I damage anything using the wrong stuff?

Thankyou Sir, we shall see how my hillbilly fix holds. So I went to the tractor store (in a raging snowstorm) and picked up 20l of oil that matches the IH Hy-Trans stuff Alan mentioned(specially formulated for older transmissions) are there any tips for filling the tranny?....or just add and...

the crack is located at the rear of this opening up high between the 2 big round holes crack crack crackkkkk I fixed it (I hope) with high temp silicone forced into the crack with 1 finger pressure....if that doesn't work the tranny will become air cooled

well ell well..... when I drained the tranny oil it was strawberry milkshake brown...ok...no biggy turns out the water 'chamber' that houses the tranny cooler was cracked...obviously a frost crack...this allowed water (that would be under pressure when hot) to dribble into the tranny sump side...

Yup-one and the same...Good to see your half-track is coming along nicely!! Anyway-that Abbot was donated from the Canadian war museum in Ottawa to the Lincoln/Welland museum in Niagara on the Lake-which Im pretty sure means 'they' cant just up and sell it for beer money...what if the war...

Thanks for the link!!...gonna order some of that goodness I read somewhere here that there is a 700pd spring in the tranny that can go off like a gun...don't wanna play with that got the oil pan off...fair bit of crud...strainer is pretty clogged...the cooler core is a bugger to remove.The...

thanks gents, Plowboy-handy pics of the manual (im so sick of 'thumbing' through pdf's)...I see the strainer filter is in the pan but...is there another filter?...the top side of the tranny has a round plate with 4 bolts....I thought there was a filter under that

Thanks Alan!!...I wasn't aware of the extra drain plugs As to the Alfaheaven link... What is 'amp'?

ttranny thoughts... how does one access the filter without the box/cab off? is it worthwhile removing any any pans or covers to inspect/clean...? Fluid...a brand suggestion for the hydraulic fluid?...or dextron?....or 10w engine oil (I know this is a conststant argument)

So...with all the plugged hoses and clogged tranny heat exchanger I began to wonder what the motor coolant passages were like... bad...really bad I popped off the frost plugs (not as easy as the genius on youtube says it is)....each plug was completely clogged behind it...I used a spoon to...
