I picked up the pump the last friday, and its a big boy! And wish I had gotten it installed on saturday, Went to a car cruise. because on sunday I ended up helping my buddy weld up big crack in the frame of his NPR box truck.Using a air chisel to blow off rust and weld slag sucks down the air...

I pretty much knew I was going to need a carrier, I thought about a new larger drive shaft I have my local driveshaft shop getting me a quote, when they cant give me a number over the phone I know its going to be $$$ I was going to go to front and rear disc brakes, I already started stockpiling...

Using the search for 4x4 instead of bobber does get me some hits. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?56738-full-length-4x4-deuce

Well its like the title says, I'm going to convert my M35a2c to a long bed bobber if that is the correct term or is it just a 4x4 conversion? I've seen a few pictures of trucks with the full size bed and the rear most axle staying about the same postion, cant seem to find any build threads...

You just need to lure them to the surface! If it works on whales, it should work on toyota prius.......... No, I have a bunch of launcher props that I made for movies, quad 50 mount that shoots golfballs, a few harpoon guns, would be fun at car cruises to fire it off without a harpoon, the...

After some foot work I got a new governor from my local napa for $16, and I have a EL13060x compressor ordered for more air. The X at the end is important it means the base oil feed version for $360,well thats what the tech guys tell me I'll see if its true once it come in. Also the EL16060x...

Well "free" did require me to replace every electrical component, hydraulic pump and lines, and slam the extensions out with my skid steer at full speed, a rather sketchy tow chain and my pintle hook on the deuce. because of all the rust and many years of rust, pine cones, nuts and twigs...

Lets do some math 44" * 87" = 12,528 square inches and lets say the water was 16" deep 12,528" * 16" = 200,448 cubic inches 12" * 12" * 12" = 1728cuin = 1cuft = 7.48 gallons = 8.34 pounds of water 200,448 / 1728 = 116 cuft of water 116 * 7.48 = 867.68 gallons 867.68 * 8.43 = 7,314.5lbs of...

Well I in my quest to find a Hiab boom cheap I found a Liftmoore 3200REL crane for free its 3200 pound with a 15ft swing for free! Hopefully a Haib boom does the same some day.... Now I had to do a lot of work to get it going sandblast, paint(look so much better in OD than white and rust!) , new...

If you were looking to show me the link to ODiron for the governor there out of business, well their domain is for sale anyway.

M35a2 air compressor upgrades Well its like the title says, I think/know my governor is leaking, and I need to upgrade the compressor for more volume. Why you ask, I have to run some air tools off road soon. If I'm lucky and find a engine powered compressor cheap soon I can avoid upgrading the...

Well, I drove mine around, completely topped off the tank and found the intank pump gasket leaks if you fill the tank to much. Got in a argument with a moron about MV's that the sheetz. "You cant drive a military truck unless you have a special drivers licsence from the military!" Morons...

Its alive! I replaced the stock seconday filters with the Cat 1r-0750 and base, and a plumbed in a adjustable pressure relief valve just like in the stock filter housing. But after putting on a gauge out of my junk box I found even with the valve closed all the way it was staying open and I...

I got the gauges in today, so I'll grab some street elbows and other fitting and try to get time to install the gauges and see what my pressures are. Fuel wasn't leaking out of the delivery valve I had loosened it to see if fuel was getting that far in the HH, I thoroughly cleaned the HH, I put...

Well I hiked the tools in and got the HH back on right before it started flashing thunder and lighting. I tried to turn it over, I cracked the lines at the injectors but wasn't getting any fuel, so I pulled the center plug with the tank pump plugged in I was getting a better spray of fuel out...

You guys were right it was still in there, what I thought was the seat was infact the valve itself, I got that freed up and blew the whole head out with carb cleaner, and everything is spinning freely its so clean now that it melted off all the old OD paint. And the wax off my shop floor. I...

Let me look in the HH again, I was sure I could see the valve seat where the valve should be in there. But maybe I was wrong. But I wont be able to get to the truck till next week to put the HH back in anyway were supposed to have thunderstorms for the next few days. The driveway to the yard...

Well started cleaning the HH, so I go to remove the delivery screw and I'm getting ready to catch a flying spring and valve. I pull the screw and the spring is just sitting there so I pull it out, there is no valve under the spring! How was this even running without the part? Time for another...

Well I went down to the yard today and finished the fuel filter and hoses. 12ft of hydraulic line and a few handfuls of fittings later. I now a have a baldwin BF1258 (10micron) primary and a CAT 1R-0750 (2 micron) secondary spin on filters. Much easier to get. If I'm out on the road. Now I'm...

FDC was bypasses by toole depot in 1993 if the tag I found on the tie wire on the FDC was correct. Took me a while but I found a 1/2 OD inverted flare to NPT adapter so I've started replacing the lines with hydraulic hoses, more than a few copper lines were crushed.
