    Type of Oil

    That is great information Bjorn. Thank you for taking the time and effort to give us this knowledge. That post should go under the tips and tricks as a sticky for sure. From what I gather the 15w-40 is ok. It is also marked on top of my valve cover with a label "Use Only 15w-40" Living on the...

    Type of Oil

    I just picked up my M35A2 from GL and I am getting my feet wet with getting all the knowledge needed.

    Hello all. I have noticed that a few of the posts listed here are from people living in California. My question, what is the best way to license this? I have heard as a historical vehicle. Also, is a special drivers license needed? I have heard 2 1/2 ton - no, but 5 ton - yes. I am picking up...

    Alternate fuels, Biodiesel

    Hi Mangus, Very interesting thread we have going here. I am following this with zest. In response to your weight questions. Wwhen flying, (private pilot), we allowed 8 lbs. per gal for oil and 7 for fuel. Therefore your estimation for a 35 lb container @ 5 gals is pretty dang close. Has...
