things come off to get at other things and then you find the thing you took off needs attention as well and you wouldn't have known that if ya hadn't taken the first thing off in the first place... ...did that make any sense at all...?

general pics of things coming apart

the secret seems to be HEAT the connections...a propane torch is more than enough...they all came apart with no problems and are all perfectly reusable this is a pic of the front of the tranny with the oval plate removed....ya cant tell now but the gunk-crap-rust-dead mice had it totally clogged

holy sheep dip-thanks guys the steel line that goes from the air comp to the tranny was plugged SOLID at the tranny union... despite 120 psi from the air hose it wouldn't clear...I had to remove the line...it was plugged right where it entered the tranny...really plugged. All the pressure also...

good point... on the tranny where the lines go in...there is a large oval plate (faces front)...if this is removed can I clean out the water cooled portion of the tranny? also...the hard line that runs from the compressor along the engine to the tranny...does it have a check valve in it...

Im good-thanks! I have every manual I can find on pdf now but it seems like the one thing ya look for isn't there... The cooling system is pretty gunked up-if anyone has advice on flushing the sytem I would like to hear it!!

Is the air compressor water cooled? one line appears to come from the block and the other travels via steel line to the tranny...correct?

No they aren't-but they have an appearance that makes everyone ask... they ARE submergible up to the hood though...ya get really wet though as an aside-this is a link to the local 'crazy army car' club http://www.nmvac.org/index.html

Thanks for that-already have gotten to know him for Iltis parts (Which Ive had for a couple years) Ralph only lives about 10 minutes from me so it works well-he lets me dig around in his yard

that explains the confusion...I am used to using photobucket for photos on other sites and tried that first

Can it be simplified?....the fancy braided line with brass fitting seems like overkill (and mine is seriously unhappy) no bugs...what is the purpose of the hose that goes between it and the air compressor regulator? thanks so far!! much appreciated!

an aside... if I post the same photo 2 or more times here on SS is that wrong?...is there a way to avoid unnecessary multiple uploads of the same pic in different threads?

PICTURES...YAY!!! anyway...here is some stuff I have or have helped keep on the road the really big green thing was my panzer wagon for some years while doing time in the Canadian army

So... In the midst of rebuilding the carb and intake and exhaust manifold 1. the exhaust manifold is cracked-can it be welded or brazed-or where is a good place for a replacement (Canada) 2. the truck has/had 2 heaters (musta been the Generals truck)-I can live without either. Can all the...

I plan to make it look good and run good and then drive around scaring little kids ....A big friggin gun on top would be cool too-although I don't know if Canadian 135's ever got the .50 mounted on them Thanks!

Ohhh....other forums prefer an external picture site to reduce the amount of memory required to store them... Is there a max size? (do I need to resize?) anyway.... here is another of the M135 (the current project I will need some tech advice with) Also-My 1985 Canuck Iltis with special...

do posts with pictures get moderated before they appear?

located in Niagara Falls (or close to anyway) the M135 is the second green problem child First was a Canuck Iltis....then the correct Canadian 1/4ton trailer...then another trailer of more unique status

are post vetted by a mod before they appear...?...or is my connection going south again?

Thanks, I updated my loc.stat. to include Niagara Falls...just outside of there. The M135 is my second green problem child...I started off with a minty Canadian Iltis-then found the correct trailer-then built a second trailer If you have more than 1 that makes you a collector?...(nuts?)
