    Spin-on Oil Filter for my M925

    Detroit Diesel p/n 23518531, newer filter medium for synthetic oil. As for the conversion kit for M35, I went with Jatonkas kit also. Nice set up.

    M923A1 30,000mile OTR Report

    Very nice write up Wes. Is shows these truck need to be worked to stay fit. Sitting long periods and little to no use really affects their reliabilty. Once the bugs are out , they keep rolling. JC

    Any advice for First trip?

    Nice looking 923. Check the oil filter configuration. I stock the spin on oil filter adapter kit and filter. Saves you time and $$ in the long run.

    Any advice for First trip?

    My bad, I thought I read "M931A2" (There is a nice one for sale in WV) your cargo truck will still bounce a bit. Keep the steer tires up to pressure and reduce the rear axle tire about 10 psi. unless you have some weight in the bed. Credit card with good limit just in case. Hearing protection...

    Any advice for First trip?

    Wear a kidney belt. That empty tractor is going to bounce alot, reduce the pressure in the tires to keep it from bouncing.

    Taking (another) Plunge

    Diamond in the rough , w/ winch and hard top, the boys will enjoy working on that, especially if they can drive it when it's done.

    Well, I guess it's time I introduce myself

    Welcome Brian, I'm sure there is a SS member or two in your neck of the woods. To bad you weren't closer, you could climb around my fleet. M35A2 is a pretty simple machine to maintain. Find a good one and have fun.

    How to remove the Fuel Shutoff Rod on the IP

    The first step in preventative maintenance is cleaning, try it, just remove the cover and give it a good shot of brake/carb cleaner, actuate the lever and spray it again. A little compressed air to blow it out (not blow it up). See if she starts.

    Years of m35a2's

    Most of the big contract/orders where fulfilled during those years, then after that, the trucks just starting going through overhaul or modification programs. The last to be built were Air Force contract trucks in the mid "80s. All A3 deuces where originally early A2s.

    -oh yeah, it's a disease. Next will be a nice trailer to pull behind the deuce, because you need to haul stuff. Then a nice generator, heck you'll need standby power. Then you'll find another truck, heck it to good of a deal to pass up. All good.......

    Hello from Eastern Kansas

    Yep, welcome from KY, a M928? they are out there, but very few. Good hunting.

    New member and owner of M35A2

    Welcome from KY. You got a real cream puff there. Sitting four years for a M35 is like a long nap. Put two new group 31 850cca or better batteries in it, install a new or rebuilt air pack, (you won't have time to rebuild it right the first time, to much moisture in the system and it is corroded...

    Push Button Light Switch...

    I have one installed in an M35A3, still works. I also installed new LED head lights. The push button switch needs a very good ground, additionally, they are ESDS (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive), mis-handling the unit/connector can hurt it internally.
