Does any one hear know of a source for some new intake valves for the 302 as our local machine shops source are out at the moment and will not be getting any supply until middle of August some time. I tried ebay with no luck and sent an email to Memphis but we would like to get this truck back...
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...
I have a friend that is in need of a complete engine wiring harness from the plug in at the firewall to the entire engine. He purchased a M1031 with maintance body with the welder and tools from a GL auction but when he picked up the unit a few weeks after the end of auction he found that some...
I am just saying thanks to this great site and the members that contribute to it. 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...
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.
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...
Hello to all. I thought I would post some pictures of my M135 in which I just installed the power plant heater kit I purchased from Butch Atkins about a year ago. I just had my cylinder head repaired with new stelite hardened seats as I had 5 out of the 6 exhaust valves pounded into the...
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.
I am in the need of some knuckle boots for my truck and wanted to know where is a good place to get them, and if they will ship to Canada. I have heard of the two types of the boot, the one piece and the two piece. Is there any difference between the two as to there quality? is there any I...
I just made a deal on a M35 today and I hope to pick it up at the end of june. I have wanted one for a long time now but they are very slim pickings up here in Canada not like most do down south. It is a M35 A2 WOW and I will post some pictures when I get it next month. I did a iltis (jeep)...
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...
I thought I would post a few pictures of my iltis. These were just surplus in the last year marking the end of the soft top small jeep like vehicle in Canadian military service.
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.
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...
I received a 8 page book of sorts titled TECH TIPS by bob kettler with my truck and in it there is a tip regarding lubrication of the air-pak. 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...
