Welcome to the no-tach club. I have a new one on my desk that was advertised as a A3 tach but it is not. It eaither pegs the needle or won't move. I have researched it and it seems to be a HUMMWV tach. Still looking for an A3 tach. The sender is a magnetic pickup on the transmission bell...

The last two responses from my local NAPA were: "We don't stock anything for military trucks" (It was a common part that I looked up on their site) and "Antifreeze with SCA? What is that?"

The word "Front" is on the inside, as are the side fasteners. My ends are just tied up with rope. No super cord anywhere and no matter how hard I tighten the ropes it always looks like it is sagging between each bow. I can't get pics today as I am leaving while it is dark (right now in fact)...

If you are a Mercedes mechanic- well, there is a great amount of Mercedes stuff out there too! Welcome from WV

I had a CDL 5 years ago and gave it up since I was not using it. Those things are tough to get and expensive to keep with the physicals and all. About 30 years ago in WV all you did is go in and give them an additional $5 for a chauffers license. The good old days.

Title says it is porn, so I am in. Waiting on the WVU Marshall game delay anyway. :driver:

Once I said "one fifty one" and was promptly told it is a one five one!

That backhoe did some great work. This should be a nice truck once you get it repowered.

Quite a mystery! I always wondered where all the air was till the gauge suddenly pops up. :)

Yeah. Another use for it would be rolling the M35A3 wheels around till it matches the air inlet. I know some guys use a pallet jack.

It is supposed to go through a self diagnosis when turned on, then the display will say something like "manifold pressure 0" and the 0 will climb up to where the current pressure is. It will then begin airing up or reducing pressure as needed. Finally it will settle on the chosen setting. You...

Bet you won't on the 3116! :driver: I found the thread on the fuel tank issue: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/66651-problematic-m35a3-fuel-tank-check-valve.html

Mine was on real tight too. Catman on here is a Caterpillar mechanic and in an earlier thread addressed the fuel filter issue: Also there is some switch (I forget where) around the fuel tank that can shut off fuel. Can't find the reference to it but I will keep looking.

From last weekend...

What I hear is it wants to start, just not enough batteries. Did you check the terminals and condition of the batts? The gauge seems to indicate the generator is OK.

Hey, thanks! Let's see, WV to CA. I know, I can Fedex it unless you want to bring your deuce by to pick it up. :driver:

Thanks all for the excellent advice, esp the pintle on the front. I got everything except bolts of course. I saw the pic of the long square U bolts, not sure about that yet. It will not be welded into place. I plan to paint the trailer and hoist so I still have some time to figure it all out.

Thanks Clint. Just what I wanted- I looked but my search function failed. I did get to read lots of threads on the crane unit though. This should be fun!

Very sharp. Can't wait for final pics.

I read all of the bomb crane and wrecker crane threads and did not see this, so I am requesting your input. I acquired the wrecker unit for the deuce and am thinking of putting it on my 105. It fits fine and will stick out the same 4 feet it would on the longer deuce bed. The chainfall weighs...
