I was by my local welding shop today talking to the owner about my M35A2. He asked me to follow him into the shop and asked if I needed a new tailgate. He showed me one leaning aqainst the wall that is in perfect condition. It is taller than my current tailgate and I have seen ones like it...

I recently purchase a deuce that came with a winch but no cable or lead. I purchased a cable and lead assembly from John Murray and it arrived today.

I am picking up my M35A2 tomorrow for the 60 mile drive home. I have test driven the truck twice but still want to go over all the fluids prior to setting off. And yes, I have searched and read past threads and the TM's and LO's until I am half blind and very frustrated. So....here goes: 1...

I rechecking a deuce tomorrow that I am hoping to purchase. When I first test drove it, the air pressure buzzer did not come on when I turned on the switch. I will look at the pressure gauge but want to know if there is another way to check to see if the system is pressurizing?
