the current owner "seems" to keep it up from his pictures. It has new tires, tank fuel pump, oil and fuel filters and a new seat. He offered to drive it up here for 3.00$ a mile both ways. So I'm confident that it is ready. I made 11 trips moving my family from Ca to N Idaho, 2200 mile round...

Ive been reading the manual on line that someone from this excellent site had posted. I can see 4th gear is in the wrong spot. hahaha...Its got the same pattern as a old water truck we had at work 20 years ago.

I had a old dodge pickup 40+ years ago that did the same thing. I pulled the front drums of a dozen times trying to figure out what was causing it to lock up. Turns out (a machinist told me to check) the drums were so wore that they were way beyond maximum ID. The shoes would go out so far that...

thanks. I got the tools covered, but its the brake lines, hoses, fuel lines that I have no idea what sizes I need.

@porkysplace. Good article/link you posted. wind chill does effect heat transfer (like a fan on your engine) but in speed (time) such as the article states. great post. thank you. dave.

I have to travel around 450+ miles to purchase a deuce. I would like to bring a roadside repair kit to fix it if it takes a dump on the way back. I will bring a couple jacks, some cribbing, 3 inch socket, socket set up to 1 3/4 inch, hand tools, antifreeze, water, diesel fuel, oil, gear oil...

Same here. above 10 or so, everything starts, below that things start to get stubborn, except my 1990 Ford 7.3, but it has glow plugs. personally, I'm fine with ether, and rarely need it unless Im somewhere where the truck sits all night in zero weather.. Windchill really does effect equipment...

when the temps get down to the negatives, my Kubota will not start on glow, or ether. I have to use the block heater(coolant) for about 2 hours. Before I installed it, It took about 4-6 hours with a magnetic oil pan heater. My cummins needs its block heater also at those temps. I intend to...

what size is that inverted flare plug? I have to pick up a truck 450+ miles away and am trying to bring a roadside repair kit incase something goes wrong. any suggestions on other stuff would be helpful too.

A bearing puller from HF may work. Not sure if the two plates that come with the set is big enough, but they also sell a bigger plate separately. You need them to remove press fit bearings anyways..Item # 62593

Welcome BuckT. there was a M35A2 for sale near you last month in Sweetgrass.

I don't have a deuce yet, but if the wheel cylinder is centered with the shoes, then the pins are fine, and the cams are the issue, like it could be missing a spacer behind it. If the wheel cylinder is not centered, then the pins are the issue. Assuming the shoes are correct. Is the clearance...

OOPS.... those are a lot taller than 9.00x20. scratch that idea.

If he can do 62 MPH, then Id think his tach is acting up as he should be above 2000 rpms even with taller tires.

I moved from Mountain Ranch Ca to here. My friend up here was a deputy from Placerville. Dave MacClelland.

hey, it worked. now if I can just remember how to do it. BTW thats looking at my barn from my front porch of my house. I build both by myself. in a few weeks, there will be a Duece sitting there in front.....probably all chained up too.

Im trying to get a picture posted.

I think I found a M35A2 I want on the west coast. I will have a 450+ drive back through some snow. It has Michelin 11.00x20 tires on it like I see a lot of on this site. Will I be driving back at 45 mph, or sliding back?

@ firefox.......Im from Stockton/lodi area. I worked for EBMUD until I retired in 2012 and moved up here. I love it here as there is 10K population in a 1200 square mile county. My Father in law still lives in Pacifica.

Tires......maybe go with a hub flip and wider tires, or stay with the cheaper NDCC and groove and sipe them. Add a 9 foot Bi-directional snow plow, and make up a set of chains. Hardtop the roof, improve the brake system possibly (I need to research) with a vacuum pump/master cylinder assembly...
