We had some nice weather so I took the opportunity to get the 5th mount closer to being attached. The original 5th mount had a set of adapter plates, which gave a solid mount to the frame. In an attempt to make stuff work, I have a 800 series set of plates and, along with the hitch, a set of 900...

Now that’s a good looking install!

Probably about 50 or so. Mostly yard sale finds.

Now that’s a proper TM! The TM’s we have are severely lacking in these details!

my radio install photos. A couple points to ponder, eye r a hillbilly. I try for functionality then appearance. The boards are installed under the radio mount in order to create a sufficient space for cooling and in case water gets into the cab.

I installed an AM/FM/Cassette player in my M35A2. I had a spare military radio mount lying around so I installed it under the passenger seat, which already has mount holes and rivnuts. I installed a 750 watt inverter to convert 12 volt dc to 115 volt ac. It powers my LED Christmas lights. I’ll...

Thank you, I will get one drawn. I need to get that drawing posted. So much to do... I haven’t gotten enough time as yet to do an in depth troubleshooting. Once Toys For Tots is over for the year, I’ll focus more on getting “The Beast” up and running.

I also posted this under “Strange Part”. I think I’ve got these narrowed down to Gama Goat drive shafts. Fairly certain they’re made by Rockwell. The coupling end of the assembly is physically identical to parts in the M561 -20P and -34P parts manuals. The stumbling block I’m hitting now is part...

Thank you. I’ll check the manuals and see if I can find them.

I was looking for something different and came across a section of drive shaft very similar to this drive shaft. It’s for a M561 Gama Goat. I’ll dig a bit harder in the book and see what I come up with.

I’ve been to the museum 2 or 3 times. I’ve also been to the Smithsonian Air and Space and it’s then support facility, the Garver Facility. I’ve been to Pensacola, which was outstanding, a couple three times as well. The Warner Robbins museum is very well laid out. I got there just once but I’d...

Try Eastern, Boyce and/or Memphis. Their websites are fairly easy to find.

Time for an update:got all the wiring installed. I’m having to go back and de-bug some of the connections. Yesterday I confident that I could attempt a start, so I powered up and hit the start button. It took a few revs to kick over but she ran okay for a truck that been sitting for years. Today...

I wish I were in your position. I have the time but not so much money. Plus, I’m in Wyoming, which really puts a kink in it.

Thank you very much! I’m a passively good at mechanical issues. I’ve never been very good at electrical stuff.

Not much to report. Still trying to figure out the fuel pump wiring. Also got to figure out how to insert a small light in line to the aux pump. No wiring data for that. Got the engine shut off lever installed. What a pain. Still in work getting the throttle lever correctly installed. I think...

I have two M211’s. One is a M and the other is a XM. Neither truck is 100% but between the two of them, I can make one complete truck. Trying to decide which will be the one to rebuild and which to cannibalize is proving to be a difficult decision.

I’ve insured 3 of my M35A2’s with State Farm. Due to their size, I have to have commercial insurance. I also tag them with Pioneer tags.
