    lets see your m35 in the snow pics! bobbed or stock lets see em

    They are heavy enough so no need to tie them down. I just drape them over the cabs and they stay put.

    lets see your m35 in the snow pics! bobbed or stock lets see em

    They are HUMVEE tops from different models. Won two pallets of what were called "tarps" from GL some time back and they turned out to be a bunch desert tan HUMVEE tops for all versions of the truck. They work perfect over the cabs of the big trucks. Great for the snow and the sun here in...

    Air system leaks! I want a cure

    On all my trucks, deuces and 5 tons, air slowly leaks past the emergency air line valves mounted on the frame at the rear of the truck, probably on the front valve on the 5 ton. Can tell this because when I take the gladhand cover off, it spews a little air for a second. Can't hear air...

    M818 mud flap bracket help needed

    Forgot to say I got the mudflaps themselves on Ebay for cheap. Also if you are having trouble opening the Betts catalog right click on it and select open in new window. Takes a little time but it will open up.

    M818 mud flap bracket help needed

    I bought a Betts set model B69 (straight arms, 9" offset) and they came with the mounts you see in the pics. B69 is a set of two A69 arms that are shown in the Betts catalog. They look close to the tires but forward motion and air flow does keep them off the rear set of tires. No rub matks...

    Seals on outside of M37 front hub

    Thanks everyone. The comments confirmed my suspicion that seal did not belong up front. Cleaned out the knuckle and reapacked with grease, stripped the backing plate of all grease and paint and primed it and repacked the bearings with just the paper seal installed between the hub and the cap...

    How slow do you go m818

    Mine pulling this 20,000 lb trailer is no speed demon by anymeans. Especially at our altitude (Denver) any grade wil slow this rig quite a bit. Steeper grades I'm in low. Level roads 52 mph is no problem

    Seals on outside of M37 front hub

    When I disassembled the front right hub for the first time between the spline cap and the hub body there was a paper gasket then a metal framed leather shaft seal. Should that leather shaft seal be in there? The TM's don't show it. I thought there was just a paper gasket between the spline cap...
