The truck, if in good shape, not abused, and properly maintained, will out last you. Your daughter will be driving in parades. These trucks are big, parts are heavy ( and a little expensive). You currently do not own tools big enough to maintain it. -and the state you will in will probably...

The batteries are Group 34 or 34m. Good prices on the web. Optima battery adapter (p/n 240046) I got mine from the nice people at Military Battery Systems (milbatteries.com). Google is your friend. Lots of info out there.

Mike's Goat has potential...nice paint.

Yes Sir, where has that been? Museum storage? Very complete and original, clean and shine, don't lose that original patina.

I'd call your current insurance provider. A farm truck is a farm truck. Several of my trucks carry farm plates. Insurance was not an issue.

You will hurt yourself in the long run. Part of operating heavy equipment/big trucks is the ability to maintain them, that may take a certain investment in tooling and support equipment. The payback in acquiring the right tools for the job is directly proportional to time saved and wear and tear...

My A3 came from the Air Force w/ Red Top Optima's. There is an 6tl adapter tray that centers and supports them.

No oil filter but there is an oil screen. Lower left on the fuel pump side. Black cap with a retaining bolt. Pull the screen when you drain the oil. Spray it clean and reinstall.

Post some pictures. Check your fluids, change the cartage style engine oil filter out for a spin on filter, I have the adapter kit & filter listed in the classified. Make future filter changes a breeze. Check the engine coolant PH and add SCA if needed. Other than that, check all the usual...

The white stuff is early signs of exfoliation (corrosion) from the aluminum housing breaking down.

I would take your existing unit to a OTR truck parts house, they can compare and adapt any fitting issue. I use Total Truck Parts here in Lou. KY. The guys are very helpful.

Yep, I had to cut the filter off my dryer w/ a high speed cut-off wheel. Had I not already had a service kit for it, it would have been chucked in the trash and replaced it w/ a commercial replacement. That filter is corroded to the a housing.

Really cool German engineering. Welcome from Kentucky

Follow Ron's advise, a little patience and a lot of PB Blaster. Make sure you use a 6 point socket. I've gotten those and exhaust muffler flange bolts out with no problems. Lots of PB Blaster.

Walter, way to go, minimal mess is always good. Consider yourself a 91 Bravo. Take the truck out for a good drive and get it warmed up, then check it again on level ground. Where in Cook Co do you reside? I was born and raised on the So. Side of Chicago.

Sears has the torque multiplier lug wrench for $49.95. Come w/ 4 sockets, they fit the M35 lug nut and square timble.

-or is time to buy one of those handy-dandy torque multipliers, they really work. I had the same issue with an old spare deuce axle, 3/4" inch impact won't budge it. The T/Multiplier backed them right off.

Welcome from Kentucky. Congrats on your new truck. Source a hard copy of the operator's manual and read it. Keep it in the truck for reference. Drive it conversantly to avoid the panic stop. Has the engine oil filter canister been modified to the spin on filter? If not , I have them listed in...
