    m35a2 cargo cover install

    This is the install I did 9 days ago. The TM's are helpful. The diferance between the two TMs is the style of cover: TM9-2320-209-10-4, Section VII, #2-14, page 2-54 shows the older style cover with the end covers separate from the main. TM9-2320-361-10 (2006), Chapter 2, 0035 00, page 0035 00-1...

    Cablr Question

    Tennessee Colonel is right. turbine oil will work to keep the cable lubed up. You can also use a light oil like for air tools that will also work. if you can't find either you can mix wd-40 with regular oil and use that to but that will be harder to funnel into the cable.

    Cablr Question

    wd-40 is not a lubricant, but will work to loosen things up. the "wd" stands for water displacement and "40" is the 40th attempt. you will still need to use an actual lube afterwards to keep things loose.

    M-1007 markings

    all cucv's came out with carc green only. the od green being fased out in the early 80s. the cucv units came online around mid 1984. i think the od green had a star on the door and the reg. number was on the hood.

    515 mile recovery

    When I was serving in the ARMY I had the privilege of operating an M109a2 for my squad and in the passenger seat was my superior, a CW4. Why he picked me and my truck I don't know, never asked. He was a little intimidating to say the least. Now I get to drive for the new (old) boss, the wife...
