I suggest that you search this site and Google for Airomatic parts. Most of the posts are now 8-10 years old so good luck with any links. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/air-o-matic-steering.106779/. If I recall correctly, all the M35A3 Deuces had these as standard equipment and kits...
Sorry that I missed the news of George’s passing. He was a wealth of knowledge for me starting out with my first and only M35A2C. I would often stop by his house when I had business in Burlington and we would chat and I’d buy something for my new toy. He would often quote his old friend Ross...
This is an old link, but it saved my bacon. Last week I had my Deuce at a "touch-a-truck" gathering and the local kids had a blast climbing in-out-and over it. On the way home my brakes locked up and had me on the side of the road for a while. I had my iPhone with me so I started searching SS...

Dan- one helpful hint .. Per TM 9-2320-361-20 Page 13-35....The duel ended clevis rod should be adjusted to be 5.63 inches center to center of the clevis points. Took me some time to find that one........
Guys- anyone know of a source for PN 7520964-3 bumpers or NAPA type replacement part number for bumpers used to keep the brake and clutch pedals from banging on the floor boards when released on the M35A2's?
:D I had the honor of participating as a volunteer in this Memorial Day's Moving Wall display in Center Ossipee, NH honoring not just the Vietnam Vets but all Vets. I had my M35A2C on display as my small way of saying thanks to all the Vets that did not come home and "Welcome Home"to those...
Charles- I did try to PM you but it seems my electrons got lost in space. Anyway, you might want to visit this weekends flea market in Lowell for some parts for your deuce. I've gone the past two years and there is always something there that I just can't live without. Welcome aboard......
