I'd pick it up, but I have a weasel to finish.... *sigh* I'll ask around and see if any of the local MV nuts want to take a swipe at it.

She also has some pages (that I cannot seem to find anymore) of them going out to old battlefields and finding German and Russian artifacts from the war....including pics of a tank (I think a Sherman!) stuck in a bog. I'll keep searching....

Welcome! You've come to the right place for sure.

Somewhat related, here is a site that is a few years old from a very brave woman named Elana in the Ukraine (this is actually a mirror I believe, as the original site was taken down years ago). KIDDofSPEED - GHOST TOWN - Chernobyl Pictures - Kidofspeed - Elena (it's an old site and a bit hard...

Agreed. M-35Tom does great work. His power steering arrangement is mega-cool. What a great truck he has.

:ditto: Make sure you also use the larger couplers for your 1/2" hose. I got the 1" impact from HF and the 1" impact socket set as well (it comes with a BUDD socket!) and it works great for me. I have a big shop compressor though...

I don't think so westy...those wheels are too small. Either a 5 ton rear frame, or some kind of a custom dolly for towing shorter trailers behind the 10-ton (or both). Someone needs to get this....the dual inches I believe is somewhat rare.

I was going to do that, but figured I would keep things PG.

My Prediction:

Someone's going to try to fit those on stock rims....I can just see it coming. :)

I think OPCOM has a great write-up somewhere on here about his choice of tires for his M109. He's running a highway rib tire up front...commercial truck tire. I guess it made the thing steer and handle great on the highway....take a look at his threads/write-ups. He's got a lot of good things...

Yukon Territories (now just "Yukon" as of 2003). He's Canadian.... I had the privilege of driving down from Alaska through The Yukon...some of the most amazing scenery I've ever seen (and I've been places). Nice people too. I have in fact been to Whitehorse....after spending 2 days stuck in...

Depends on the wheel you are using. I know the OD Iron wheels that I am using require a spacer block of about 2.5" to make it work. Sock A3 wheels do not require a spacer. If you are mounting on A2 wheels (again, I strongly suggest you do not do this), you are on your own. :) If you figure...

Here's the thread with step-x-step instructions for a boot swap (just go to the part where the axle is free). http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/8460-front-axle-seals-boots-stepxstep.html In fact, you'll probably want to replace the boot on that side if it's at all damaged or cracked, as...

Already been done/discussed in another thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/5730-thought-tires-vs-power-vs-etc.html Here's a few older links from the old board to ponder as well (good info within) View topic - M35 Wheels :: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles...

I have the same split-brake system in my 1988 M35A2. The brakes should not be super-hard to depress...something is wrong. I would go through them and make sure that something isn't "wonked" up. I can't give you specifics without (much) more information, but I would go through the entire...

Maybe not as dumb as you think....enemy can't tell which way the vehicle is going by looking at the tracks when they do this. Sort of like the "non-directional tread" idea. It means, the tracks do not give away the direction....

Very nice! Congrats on getting a set of them...they are quite rare.

Ha...ok. I would call Saturn Surplus. Their catalog does not have pics, but they show several gasket kits in-stock for the LDT series motors. One of them may be a manifold kit.... Or you can order a complete engine gasket kit and just use the manifold gaskets. Both Saturn and OD Iron...

Assuming you meant "M35A2". What motor is in your deuce exactly? Which manifold gasket? The exhaust manifold to turbo flange gasket? Saturn Surplus had them, but hey show as sold out right now. Here's a pic: The kit shows as NSN#5330-00-103-1980, but not 100% sure that's the right one...
