Did you turn the seat down to the lowest level? That gives you a few inches. Also some guys have shortened the steering column. Big plus. Anyway, best to you, hope you can join us very broke folks. :driver:

The A3 comes with air assist steering. What is scaring you about the auto? They are in thousands of school busses and other applications. Also the two speed transfer case puts a lot of slow power at your disposal. Upgrade a non-power steering to air assist for about $1000. Hydro power can...

I think they have surge brakes, not air. Trailer, cargo: 1{1/2} ton, 2-wheel, M105 series (United States) - Jane's Military Vehicles and Logistics

Because the barrel is plugged?

Here ya go... :driver:

No problem when sitting, not enough cold when rolling...

I have been thinking of this. I think if I go through with it I will buy a RigMaster APU. It does AC, heat, generator (could power house in an emergency) and charges the batteries. I think used they are under $2500. Yup, just checked a popular auction site and there is one listed. I bet...

I just thought of something funny- if they had to fill out that form for a M35A3! Built from 2 or 3 residue trucks- it would probably end up with a salvage title.

Sorry to hear of the problem. Hopefully you can work it out. I went and got the form, out of curiousity and looked it over. http://www.ncdot.org/download/dmv/VR_MVR181.pdf What strikes me is that GL would have no way of knowing the answers to the questions. That may be why they are not...

AMX, are your tires the 14.50R20? Mine pegs out at 53.

Found it! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/47075-m35a3-engine-colors.html BTW mine is yeller. :)

The yellow engines meet all specs, the green ones are rejects. Actually, a Cat employee on here one time said Cat only makes yellow engines. Every once in a while the gov would make them paint the engines green. They had to send them out to do it, at a high cost to Cat.

That is going to put a lot of tongue weight on it!

Mutilation is whatever the person representing the government says. Could be total destruction one day, less another.

Two of the things that are high on my list!

I bet the wheels are not the issue. I think the "O" rings in the wheels are only rated at 60 psi or so. Should not be an issue if you do not use CTIS as the wheel valve will isolate the "O" rings.

It probably would be cheaper to haul. You will be at $500 in fuel alone. Take the cargo cover off if it has one, also note the insulated cab cover can be troublesome. I got a knife out at a rest stop and removed the liner. Little pieces of the insulation kept getting in my eyes.

Just went over and checked up coming auctions, M105s still require EUC but 101s don't seem to.

I picked up a M105A2 yesterday from Bragg AFTER the EUC cleared. :)

Welcome! I just got back from a 500 mile trip in my A3 yesterday (picked up a 105 trailer). Ran great of course. I would suggest http://www.m35a3.net/forum/ as a place to do some additional research on these toys. Also check Erik's Erik's Military and Industrial Surplus - Military Vehicle...
