SEEMS LIKE WHEN YOU OWN AN M35A2, YOU NEVER HAVE ENOUGHT STUFF FOR IT!!
Well, seems like I got a good used winter front for my M35A2, in really good shape from one of our Steel Soldiers members down in New Jersey, but now I find I need some clips...

Gentlemen: Regarding Cold Weather Starts on "Saddam's Nightmare" The Darned Deuce is starting again when above 25*F and running well, so I still have to check the batteries anyway!
The question for today is:

Learned masters of the Deuce, I have a question or two:
Well, it was 25*F last night, and this morning the M35A2 decides not to start when I'm rolling out the door to work, so the Unimog bails it out. The truck's been running well...

Esteemed Deuce owners:
I am planning to refit the hand throttle to my 1971 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 Wo/W, it had it from the ghost in the dashboard (OD semi Gloss exposed in an area otherwise forest green CARC) of the bezel, but there is, to me, no obvious...

Gentlemen and Ladies- I really enjoyed the "How fast do you drive your Deuce" topic, most enlightening! I am quite sure that the LDT465 Diesels don't take lugging too well, but I suspect running at 80% of rated output would keep them happy.
NOW- NEW...
:roll: HEY GUYS! I missed your answers on my looking for a supply source for two new dashboard light covers with clear lenses instead of the red.
The eyes aren't what they used to be twenty five years ago, and the red light on the speedo face just isn't making it for me. Saturn Surplus used...
:?: ANYONE HAVE A SOURCE FOR THE CLEAR LENSES as replacements for the RED LENSES and covers for the M35A2 DASHBOARD LIGHTS??? Saturn Surplus is out of stock and I don't have an alternate source for these items. I want the red ones for display, but the gauges are too dim to be easily read at...
:? Gentlemen: It seems that in Northeast Texas there are few who are in the tire businessfor trucks that are willing to change an M35A2's tires due to the two piece or safety rims on the truck. My duece is a Desert Storm veteran, and while the 9:00X20's NDTS aren't totally shot, their not too...
