    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    I understand the profiling thing but all cops think that all motor vehicles on the road need a license plate posted on them so getting pulled over for not having one in my circumstances and thoughts is not profiling just not knowing all the laws on the books. In Colorado just a couple years back...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    What makes this topic even more complex is in the state of Colorado if the Former Military Vehicle has all the correct markings presented as a Historical Military Vehicle the vehicle is not required to place the plates on them. They must be with them and "if a peace officer inquires or asks to...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    I have been somewhat included it the exchange of information as this legislation got started and moved though the process to become law. As the Secretary of the Military Vehicle Collector's of Colorado I have personally emailed, through the group, my thoughts about how the law would be...

    WY/CO Chapter

    SgtMajHarper, You are right the bill passed both chambers with only one absent vote, all other votes came in yes for the bill. The Governor does not sign it, there is just the required time line from the last day of the session that it gets put into the books. I believe sometime early August...

    MVCC Displaying at the 2019 Denver Auto Show

    Monday was staging day for vehicles. By the time the show starts the display will look even better! Yesterday all the workers were adding carpets and other goodies to the entire place. It's amazing all the work that goes on to transform a plain concrete slab 40 feet above the streets of Denver...

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    I've been following this topic for some time now and there is a lot of good information. I started a thread titled "M35a3 schematics" after searching and not finding any. I found what I was looking for in the TM. Should have started there, kicking myself on that one! Anyway, I put copies of the...

    M35a3 schematics

    Hi to all. Most TM's have the schematics for the vehicles listed in them. I have done a search to see if anyone has found the ones on the M35a3 series trucks and came up blank. So I thought I would help out those that have a hard time navigating the TM's. In this case it is in TM...

    Driver alternator belt tightening question

    I had the same issue years ago. I found that the pulley on both alternators were polished smooth by the belts slipping for a long time, just replacing the belts solved the squeal I was getting but would come back about 3 to 4 weeks after. I agree on the belt sizing, there are different size...

    Looking for ideas on an alternate manual transmission for my m35a2

    I think he is referring to a duece with a sprag transfer case. There is a shaft that disengages the sprag clutch for the front axle drive that attaches to the transmission. If you have the air switch transfer this hook up is not used. It still on the transmission just hangs out there.

    Block heater

    swinters is right on the spot. Thumbs up! The coolant "inline" hose pump heater style was originally designed for tractors and are universal. Just need to figure out your heater hose size for getting some new hose, length will depend on where you plan on putting the thing. Manufacture and the...

    Block heater

    Thanks, and I agree about fixing it, but for now it is on the back burner, I am involved in doing a frame up restoration of my M35a2, but due to life's curve balls constantly taking up all my time it is taking forever. For now the M1009 is just sitting on the property, I do start it every now...

    Block heater

    I got one that goes in the place of the freeze plug on the m1009. It is the only way the thing will start when the temps go below 20 degrees. The nice thing is if you leave the lever on defrost and the other on heat, that little thing will help keep some ice off the windshield and with no...

    Deuce Hood Lift Kit Availability

    Flat Black I think would be the best neutral choice. That way the material is coated from corrosion potential and the purchaser can deside if they need to paint them and they make the call on the exact shade they are looking for. Can of worms never gets opened, just my thoughts.

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    I was required to sign up with the MVPA as A Officer of the MVCC in Colorado. Heck, the members elected me to the position, the bylaws say I must, so what the heck. Never saw a reason before, it's a thing for those back east not for us out west, right? I mean they never have any thing for those...
