    M135 Problem, continued with COMPRESSION AND VACUUM TEST info.

    Another problem with M135??

    You guys are probably tired of me asking on here? I know I am very tired. So this truck has ran fine since I discovered that clogged gas line. And everything should be all tuned up because we replaced EVERYTHING except the ceramic dist cap which looks fine. Spent the last couple days going...

    Elec fuel pump

    This is the electric fuel pump that has been on this truck since I can remember, 20 yrs or more? Also a look at the screen filter in it. This is the M135 that was running fine and then started romping and lurching at times. We changed the other filter and even removed and cleaned the carb...

    How do I send PM?

    I know this is not the correct place to ask this, but I do not see an appropriate place to do so. I need to PM someone, but for the life of me, I don't see how?

    Carburator manual or drawing for M135 ?

    I have taken the carb apart as far as I dare, and cleaned up pretty well. Really didn't see much signs of dirt. But it could have been something in the float valve I didn't see. Anyway, it would maybe help if I had an exploded view of how this thing goes together, and of course, how to adjust...

    Adding Turn Signals?

    We plan on adding turn signals to our 53 M135. It is still 24 volt, but I believe we can just go off the first battery for power, and install a 12 V system? But not sure about that? Will the ground cause a problem, being that all the other lights, etc, are 24V? Also, and suggestions on a good...

    Wire size to use?

    My Son's 1952 M135, inherited from my Daddy has been modified to standard shift tranny. Part of that is a different starter motor that is powered by a push button on the dash. When Dad did this he just used a piece of light electric extension cord for the two wires need. We often get a...

    Original Manuals??

    In going thru my Dad's plunder I have found a couple manuals, in what looks like original carrying pouches? One is OD canvas, the other heavy plastic or rubber. The manuals appear to both be the same manual but each in it's own bag. Army TM 9-2320-361-10 Air Force To 36A12-1B-1094-1 I guess my...

    M135 question?

    We are transferring my Dad's M135 ownership to my Son. In doing so the notary needs the un-laden weight. In looking at the manual I read that to be 12,330# without a winch! Am I reading that correct? I am surprised at it being that heavy, especially empty. Thanks for any in-put.

    possible miltary jeep??

    Got a friend that just acquired a jeep that may be a military jeep from what little knowledge I have. At least he'd sure like to know what it is, model, year etc. I guess he didn't get a title as he thinks it is a 52 or so, but it is newer that that, I can tell that much. It is NOT flat...

    broke off air tank petcock in M135.......

    My Son, in his zeal to do good while draining moisture thought it best to remove the petcock and get rid of every last drop of water. Well we know what happened, broke off the petcock. It is in a hard place to get at but we tried "easy outs" with no luck, the brass left in the threaded hole...

    More trouble than I can handle...

    It's just one thing after another with this M135. The starter went out the day before Memorial Day. The only reason my Dad and I restored this truck was to haul Vets in parades, etc. Now I got a truck full of Viet Vets lined up for the 4th of July and still no starter fixed. I just took it...
