    My New Ride And Homeless

    Here is my latest ride a 1990 Leland Daf T244 4x4. This is an ex British 4 ton truck that I purchased at an auction this last weekend that came out of a base in southern Alberta where they come to train. It is powered by an 5.9 cummins engine. I think we need to ad another section on the form...

    Just saying thanks

I had to do some work on my M35A2 (first one I have ever owned) and this site made a huge savings of time and head scratching. I had to replace both front knuckle boots, Head gaskets, turned up the pump a little...

    CDN M135 under restoration

    I thought I would post some pictures of a M135 I am helping to restore for a club member here in Alberta. The truck was a good runner to begin with but a simple clean up and paint snowballed into a complete taredown.

    My M135 made the 2000 mile round trip

    As the title says my M135 made the round trip from Onoway Alberta to the MVPA meet in Portland and back again. I made the whole trip with no brakedowns of any kind. The only real part of the trip that seemed to take forever was going from Kamloops to Vancouver and back as driving through the...

    Movie Star

    I just brought my first M35A2 back from BC about a 650 mile trip and it was a lot of fun. This truck was used as a movie rental truck and was in the Movie SHOOTER with mark walburg and an upcoming movie I believed is called the Watchman.

    M104 CDN-3 purchases

    I was lucky enough to win 4 M104 CDN-3 trailers at our recent goverment auction last week. I got one that is serial # 0002-2 and I do not believe that it was ever used in service as there is no damage or rust on the trailer. I purchased the other ones mainly for the combat two piece rims with...

    torque rod

    I have acquired some torque rods to fit the 5 ton 800 series truck ( # 8728126 ) and wondered if they need replacing very often and are they readily available? what is the usual cost for one? I don't know too much about them and don't own a 5 ton, and thought I would ask here.

    Shifting Question?

    I was able to take the 135 out for a drive this weekend as the weather was nice. Since this truck and its workings are still new to me it seams that the shift into 4th gear comes in way too soon ( 22 MPH ) and wanted to know if this is what it is suppose to be? It shifts into 4th gear at 22 MPH...

It states that you should lubricate the air-pak every 6 months with some OHT oil. Does any one know what this oil is and where to get it as I have never...
