I received an SF97 from GL and thought there were only three problems with it when I took it to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to be titled. I knew that the weight was noted as 23000 and the GVWR as 32000, but I have a good photo showing that the numbers should be 13000 and...
I am moving today from the house formerly owned by my son Ethan (Builder77) a few miles south of Richmond, Virginia. It is near the intersection of 95 and 288. Ethan owned (now I do) a M35A2C which hadn't run for years. He towed it here with his previous deuce. Yesterday, with the help of a...
I reluctantly came to the decision that I sell my deceased son Ethan's (aka Builder77) truck and related vehicles, parts and hardware. My question is whether I should sell his collection as a whole, or individually. His deuce is a 1987 M35A3 American General multifuel flatbed with drop-able...
I inherited a messy situation. Ethan (aka builder77) bought a 1970 M35A2C and then a 1987 one. He sold the first to a likeable guy in MA (scooter01922), but didn't title the second one before his untimely death in 2008. I was given a title by DMV and thought it was for the one here in...
It took two days of driving (with my trusty dog, Bodhi) in my pickup truck, towing a trailer, to get a set of tires to Ethan's deuce. But I think they are well worth the effort and cost, as I don't trust his old 9.00x20 tires on the road. The used Michelin XZL tires are 11.00R20, which add about...
One of the inner rear tires on Ethan's deuce is almost bald, but I do have a decent spare. It is time to get some experience changing a flat tire. In fact, I was advised only last week by SS member Daniel (dm22630) to do this at home before having to do it at the side of some road.
Here are...
Hi Fellows,
Ethan's M35A2C isn't running yet, but will be soon. The rear axles are currently dual, but I will convert to singles. The duece has standard issue tires, which look like they would have poor traction on a wet road, so I am in the market for new tires. Staying with the standard...
Ethan has one nearly perfect front axle (these photos) in a box in his garage. The one below it is almost the same, but appears to have more surface rust when peeking through the cracks in the shipping box. I would like to know if I am correct that these are both M1008 open front axles. Are...
Hi fellows,
I am trying to sell some of Ethan's items, and today am focusing on axles. I think this is a M1008 rear axle. Is it also termed a Dana something? This is an unused axle, still attached to what is left of it's shipping box. Is $600 a good starting price for an eBay auction...
