I like the look of the soft top better. When I drove M715s in the Army, I never saw a single hard top version, they were all canvas. I loved the M715s. they were a very good off-road truck.
You can also use either a gas or electric portable winch to pull the truck on or off the trailer if your batteries aren't up to snuff. You need to read the TMs before you try to do any work on the deuce. The multifuel is a good engine.
Today, I had trouble starting my MEP003A, which is very unusual as it always starts right up. At first I thought the fuel cutoff solenoid was bad, but simple troubleshooting ruled that out. It turned out that the governor linkage 150-1331 (44940) was binding internally. I squirted some...
Be careful here. You have provided a false description of your M35A2. If there is an accident, the insurance company can legally refuse to pay for damages based on the false description.
I have an MEP003A connected to a Square D 400 Amp, 4-pole manual transfer switch. I have 400 amp service to my house. I am not switching the neutral so I'm utilizing the neutral / ground bonding from EMC and I do not have a ground rod installed. The neutral and ground on my trailer-mounted...
I previously had an A2 that had the chain welded to the steering column by the Army. I didn't like that because it was ugly and the chain hung down. When welded to the seat frame, the chain is out of the way.
I have a length of 3/8" Grade 100 steel chain with one end welded to the seat frame between the drivers and passenger seats. I loop the other end through the steering wheel with an extremely hardened padlock.
I see the trailer has a data plate on the side of the frame. What is the weight of the trailer? If the construction is aluminum, that will help. I would leave the trailer as is with the axles and tires. If you ever decide to sell the trailer it will be worth a lot more if it is unmodified...
I had a similar issue with my A3 several years ago. Headlights were bright, but the truck wouldn't start. I put a battery charger on each battery separately and the charger said each was fully charged. It turned out that one of the batteries was going open internally when under heavy load. I...
When I checked in, they told me how to get to the rally site and warned me that the first road with the gate closed was not part of what we paid for and to make sure I went to the second entrance. She told me that both areas were rented out separately.
If you are uncertain whether or not you have hooked up all four wires correctly on the Battery Accessory Switch, check the electrical schematic in TM 9-2320-386-24-1-2. It will show you which wire numbers go to which contact on the switch. I have a question. Why did you replace the switch...
That is one reason I like my A3. The steel parts of the cap corrode like crazy, but the aluminum tank itself always looks like brand new. I previously had an A2 and I always filled the tank up almost to the cap. I never had any corrosion in the tank, only the steel parts of the cap.
I found more damage to the main wiring harness and I'm trying to find a replacement. I also found a very active mouse nest and cleaned it out. I see that EI has a custom-made main wiring harness for $695.00. It doesn't have the sheaths covering the different branches of the harness, but does...
