    Soap from bio byproducts

    My current convoy plans... Drive the M37 with a M101 in tow (really hope to have a buyer for this M101 as I've got too much stuff in the yard...) Got a buddy who is planning on driving up in my M35A2C, may have a M105 in tow depending on how many parts I bring to sell (and I wouldn't mind...

    Soap from bio byproducts

    Bjorn, I've got a project list that is way too long, so I can understand where you are comming from... :) How about bringing a bunch of the soap up to Aberdeen??? I have got to get my bathroom finished (had to replace a lot of rotted wood in the floor where the former owner didn't understand...

    Diesel Fuel Additives/Conditioners - Good Stuff or Snake Oil

    The injector shop near me refers to injector cleaner as "tune up in a can"... Every now and again, when the truck(s) seem sluggish, I dump a bottle of Power Service or Stanadyne labeled injector cleaner into the tank... Used to do the same once every six months or so with Techron in my gas...

    M37 rims

    Yep, standard Budd construction... Folks have... Problem is in finding a blank that you like and then welding them in nice and true with a quality weld... Stockton Wheel used to do the conversion, but decided some time ago not to continue with their efforts. Folks have reported having...

    Deuce Parts - EBAY SCAM

    I've purchased stuff off Ebay in the past, and look for stuff from him when I need parts as the price and quality have been good. Time to recieve parts has been a little slow at time, but then, so have parts from other folks (and I have been known to be a tad slow sometimes as well, and that...

    Correct Deuce Air Filter - Donaldson P11-7551 doesn't exist?

    I'm very tempted to just take the OEM filter out of my M35A2C and hand it over the counter at my local Komatsu dealer (about a block from my office, very good guys at the parts counter, get all my Cummins parts from them...), and ask them to get me a replacement... They are a Donaldson dealer...

    Need new headlamps

    FWIW, The folks at Susquehanna Motorspports (where I get all my Hella E-code H4 assemblies and H4 burners in 6, 12, and 24 Volts depending on which MV I am working on, have a great selection of Hella relays (some with ATO blade fuses, some without). I figure that I could go with a military...

    speedo drive gear

    Memphis has them, but be sitting down when they tell you how much they cost... I need a unit for my M35A2C (900x20 tires), but am running without the speedo until I can snag a good used one... The guts to my right hand drive fell out about a year ago... Got the drive piece that...

    Scared myself today

    Did you check the cable running from the battery to the starter?? It runs under the cab on it's way forward and may have chaffed along the way and be shorting out when you crank the truck... You also have the electrical line to the pump in the fuel tank running along the rear edge of the...

    Looking for USAF truck pics

    Take a look at Ed's M37 on my website at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/photos35.htm I'd tell you to look at photos of my 1983 M35A2C since it is an ex-USAF truck, but it was painted in three color camo when I got it... It is a tactical truck... Took a lot of photos and measurements from...

    Need help with PA DMV and getting antique plates

    You might want to check to see if PA has any requirements that are more stringent than the Federal ones... but: You do not need a CDL for the M35. For that matter, you don't need an air brake endorsement on your non-CDL license. The M35 has air over hydraulic brakes and these are considered...

    We've got several meeting spots in MD where you can join up with the convoy depending on where you actualy are... Some of the "feeder serial" routes are not listed on the convoy website since we have to see who registeres and where they are before we can plan routes and group folks togother...

    m37 dump truck

    The XM708 has the same wheelbase as the M37... About 200 of them got built... Chasis is the XM53B1 which is the same as the M37's chasis except that it has extra springs in the rear and some additional frame reinforcement along with boosted brakes. The specification PDF is interesting...

    The scoop from GL on SF97's

    I'm very interested in how this is going to affect things here in North Carolina... Our Tag/Title folks (contract folks with the exception of one office each in Raleigh and Charlotte run my DMV personell) know what a SF97 is and expect to see one before they will issue a title...

    Lusterless forest green

    Clean, why would I want to keep it clean??? :) Seiously, they tend to look a little dusty/muddy at times, but they do wash up fairly well when I get the urge.... Rust hasn't been a problem, but since the lusterless is more porrus than the higher gloss paints, I just make sure that I have...

    Lusterless forest green

    Well, can't help you with the MERDC pattern question, but I can say that the 34052 USMC Lusterless Forest Green on my vehicles (M37, M38) is actually "flat"... Only spot on either vehicle that is approaching a "satin" finish is where I've spilled a little fuel when filling them up... I don't...

    Whups... Made a mistake...!!! My new trailer is actually a M1061A1... I'll post photos... My trailer is a twin axle, four wheel unit with heavy landing jacks on each corner. Rated at 5T off road. Used to haul things like the portable laundry unit... A trailer similar to mine can be...

    auto hauling military trailer

    That XM1073 looks similar to my M1076 5t four wheel flatbed. Great little trailer to use behind the M35 to haul M715/725 or M37/M43 or similar on (I like to use mine to haul back parts trucks...). Great addition is a small winch to the front for ease in loading non-op trucks. Got ramps...
