    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Thank you. I am throwing out an idea just in case plowboy or someone else beats me to dis assembly of both units. I plan to find out here soon and will of course have pictures. The external appears identical except for the length, valve on the back and a few fittings. With being able to use the...

    I'm getting ready for and planning an airpak rebuild in the very near future. I have some old M809 series airpaks and have pulled the power piston out of them to use as referenced here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?70703-M220-AirPak-rebuild Then I remembered that M1010plowboy...

    Do you recall if they had the bows and canvas? Yep he posted " They are complete with bows and tarps. No title - BoS only."

    M135 Muffler

    I would like to have it a little more quiet. For now the hollow muffler will have to do until plowboy gets the muffler build figured out. If it turns out the mufflers are to expensive to ship south of the border, maybe his muffler man would be interested in selling prints on how to do it?

    Stop pretending like I am the only one who tries this from time to time. :roll: :D The real story is... he is a very good friend of mine that I have known since we were kids. He has helped me work on the truck a few times and saw me out testing it after knowing I had been having problems...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    I don't think that would cause your coil to overheat. My manual (for the M135) shows that those are tied into the governor. Both lines come from the carburetor/governor and run around the back of the engine, then hook to the distributor. Possibly cause a vacuum leak?? I'm not sure though.

    I'll try to make it if I can get some free time. Might bring the M135.

    Please talk him out of this

    Will those tires fit on the rear axles too? That truck looks tough from the front!

    We definitely need some mufflers, although I did get a performance increase like the old Army vet told me I would. I adjusted the front band a year or so ago. Probably wouldn't hurt to check it again It has been several months since I have driven this truck for a significant amount of time. It...

    I found Windows Live Movie Maker on my computer that I did not know was there until a few days ago. It guided me through the process as I used it.

    New to the M211 family

    Welcome to the forum! Looks like a good truck to work with. Will be neat to see what you do with it. I would be interested in buying the rock guards on the top of the front bumper should you decide to sell parts after you get the custom bumper on.

    Part numbers would be nice. No hurry though.

    Where did you get a master cylinder rebuild kit from? I am going to try to pull a master cylinder off of my parts truck to see if it can be rebuilt. I was looking at this kit but am not sure it it right...

    Could you describe for me how to do this? I would really like to learn how to do it properly. Seems like it could be a little tricky with all the moving parts.

    M135 Muffler

    I took the hollow muffler with me to work today with the intention of stopping by the muffler shop afterwards. One of the guys at work who is a welder volunteered to weld it for me since he was slow today. The end of it was really thin so he cut off 2" to get back to good metal. We had some...
