    Southern U.S. Rally

    I was wondering if there are any MV get-togethers with Mud or Off Road trails in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas that will be happening in 2009. Just purchased my M35A2 in April 2008 so I am a Newbie to medium MVs although I can proucly say the fist vehicle I ever drove was a '46 CJ2A which I...

    M105 info needed

    Hello fellow trailer owners. I need some pictures and was hoping that one of you could help. The pics that I need are of the axle attachment to the springs. Particularly the u-bolts and spring plates. When I purchased my M105A2 about 10 years ago it had no axle so I purchased a military...

    trailer model ??

    I have had what I thought was a M105A something trailer for 10 years now. I am looking at the data plate and thinking that I might want to have a new one made. What I find when I clean it up and strip off some of the old paint is not M105A.... I have a XM-105-E3 manufactured by Checker Cab...

I have the stock trailer and want to make it match the M35A2C when I go to the larger tires 395/85R 20 on a certain someone's aftermarket wheels that look sooooo sexy. If these are too bit, can the ring...

    M35 winch

    In reviewing the "genuine" military disc "EM 0037" dated 1 SEP 04 for the 2.5 ton truck, I can not find a MWO for the winch installation. I know that there have been many past questions in threads about this topic but one small Historical Detail calls out to me. If any of you out there are still...

    Fuel leaking

    I have had a small amount of moisture (fuel) around the sending unit / fuel pump access area. I took the sheetmetal cover off tonight to take a picture for a fellow Mv'er and found my problem. I had fuel under the cover where the fuse is located as seen in the three pictures. Before I go...

    Deuce sideboards

    I came across a left and right sideboard with the fiberglass slats for the uppers and troop seats too. The steel would need repainting (for show quality) but the slats are in really good, used condition. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what would be a fair offer to the...

    Bracket on headboard

    What is this bracket for (see attachment)? The picture is a little hard to see. Sorry about that. It is a bracket that receives some sort of tabbed bracket that would look similar to thin walled tubing smashed flat on the end. There is one on each side of the headboard and both are at the top...

    I am in need of the DMWR for overhauling the t/r gearbox on the OH-58 A & C. Does anyone have a digitized version that I could obtain a copy of? This aircraft is not a Garlick TC so I can't use the Garlick version. I need the actual, military version. I beleive the pub number is 55-1615-298. Jim...

    Engine problems

    This is for the most experienced multi-fuel mechanics. I think that I have a rod starting to knock. It is most pronounced at around 800 to 900 RPMs when hot. The engine also developed a bounce in the tachometer at the same time the knock became noticeable. I now believe that I abused my engine...

    Incorrect fuel filter housing??

    O.K. I'm now offically Corn-Fused. In the two photos I have attached, there are the three fuel filters for the OEM canisters on my M35A2C. Obviously the shorter filter element will not fit in the housing shown in the second picture and the two other elements go on the left rear side of the...

    Steering box

    I had my front end up on jack stands to finish my bearing / brake job and noticed that my steering box output shaft has about 3/16 up and down slop in it. This is the answer to the slightly wondering wheel while on the highway. Question is this. Has anyone ever found the bushings and sleeved...

    Brake system pliers

    I thought I had all my little duckies in a row but realized that I had forgotten the pliers for the brake return springs. :roll: Does anyone have a recommendation for these. The automotive ones seem a little short (about 13 or 14 inches long) for these tough springs. A brand name of pliers...

    Engine oil pressure

    A while back I picked up my truck and the oil pressure was pegged out to the max side. When you turn power on the gauge is at Zero. When the engine is started, it eventually goes to about 60 psi or so and the pegs out. In my trouble shooting, I pulled the instrument panel down to check the...

    Wheel cylinders

    I looked at the cross reference and I know that the dealers have them, but has someone recently purchased a wheel cylinder from a local auto parts store for the M35 series trucks? I have one that has a bad static leak so I purchased two new cylinders and four rebuild kits from one of our...
