OK Matt, finally got to the manuals and have the info for you. STE/ICE NSN: 4910-01-222-6589. The appropriate TMs are: TM 9-4910-571-12&P and TM 9-4910-571-34&P HTH

n3nuka, if you can wait until Aberdeen you should have your choice of tow bars. One of the regulars had two sets at the Red Ball swap meet at Jim Thorpe, PA this weekend. He, and/or others will have them at the East Coast Rally. FYI, as of Saturday morning only three vendor spaces were...

The blackout lights were not developed for use with night vision devices, in fact they might even "blind" some of the early generation night vision devices. Blackout lights have been on U.S. military vehicles since WWII. The small lights, front and back, are called "cats eye" lights and are...

STE/ICE is Simplified Test Equipment/Internal Combustion Engine. It is a computerized test set that provides a multitude of test readings on most Army vehicles used over the last 30 - 40 years. It will provide diagnostic information on nearly everything from the Deuce to M1A1 tanks. Many of...

There is a signal for engine RPM available since the STE/ICE test set will display engine speed when connected to the test plug under the dash. You just have to figure out where it is (should be easy if you go to the schematics in the manuals) and then find a meter that is capable of...

Disco, It is unlikely that you have an electric horn under the headlight. The M35s have air horns on the curbside inside fender. The object under the headlight (driver side) is a blackout driving light. They are used under blackout driving conditions so that the driver can see the ground...

The two things by his shoulder are the 24 volt buss for military radios. A radio shelf mounts on the side in front of the rear seat back. Usually the VRC 12 series radios were installed there. When the radio shelf is in place the seat cannot be folded forward.

That sounds correct to me.

I have a M35A2 with a 1D (non-whistler) and a M185A3 with a 1C (whistler). Both engines take 10 to 20 seconds to build oil pressue, depending on temperature. Keep in mind that the manuals all say to keep revs below 1k RPM for 5 minutes to ensure that the turbo is not damaged by lack of lube...

Spruce Mountain and Adiroindack Dodge Parts both have John's mounting plate.

A couple of other possible sources of DOT 5 are Adirondack Dodge Parts and Spruce Mountain Surplus. Both are in upstate NY. Google will get their websites for you.

Yes, the LO does not clearly show where the fill plugs are. The best place to add lube is the check plugs. On the tranny it is on the back, a few inches up from the bottom. It is flat with a 1/2" recess, use a 1/2" drive ratchet with no socket to remove and replace them. I use a large plunger...

If anyone is still interested I just uploaded TB 9-4910-492-30, the installations instructions for the hoist in a Deuce to the Tech Section. When it is approved it will be available for all.

mhb285 Apologies, the Lube Order for the Deuce was not in the tech section when I posted the above reply. I have just uploaded it and as soon as a moderator approves it will be available for all.

Fred and Don are both good guys, I have had good experiences with both. If you have a hard time getting in touch with Don he may still be taking care of business due to the recent death of his dad.

Your best and wisest bet is to download the Lube Order (LO) from the Technical Section of this board and print it out to keep handy while you do your PMCS. I just spent most of Sunday afternoon under my M35 A2 hitting all of the grease fittings and topping off all of the gear cases for the trip...

Give Saturn Surplus a call.

J&J Tennis of South Central NY has had M35 bows made by some Amish craftsmen. I am resonably sure thet you can get them from Fred at Adirondack Dodge Parts and Don at Spruce Mountain Surplus. Fred will ba at the Gilbert, PA Rally this weekend. If you will also be there give him a call by...

That hoist unit was usually authorized to the motor or maintenance section of a unit. My motor section was authorized one for one of our dueces untill they updated our MTOE and we swapped the dueces for 5 tons. We were then authorized a wrecker and no longer needed the hoist unit. The hoist...

Are you are talking about the frame and beam arrangement that has a chain fall on an I beam over the bed of the truck? The framework is bolted to the bed of the truck. This was more often used on a truck assigned to the maintenance section (motor pool) of a unit (especially a unit that did not...
