Yeah would love to figure out what the heck this thing started as. Just going to enjoy it and get it operational and smooth. Never had a gas engine that was this heavy duty. Its pretty incredible. I cant seem to find ANY TMs on this engine.

Did not even notice that it said 45 and not 35! Just looked up the M135, that's a cool truck. No idea where I would find a bed for it. Would love to one day make this a hydraulic dump. Would need a shop to do it, don't have the capacity to lift stuff like that. For now Id love to get it running...

Thanks! Sorry I thought the A1 was the gas model, and the A2 was the multifuel. I dont know that much about the specifics, but love learning about it.

Will post more, honestly can't believe I found one of these in such original shape. It was last registered in PA in 2019! ANY TMs available for this?

I never thought I would own a truck like this 10 years ago, and now I own two. This fell into my lap and I took it. Incredibly original and solid. Was in dry storage and used by a potato farmer for a long time. Windshield frame and glass is by far the worst of it. My truck in primer is a 1953...

Are there any larger models available?

Hey guys so Im on summer break and I have a whole mess of projects going on. I finally got a way to get the rebuilt case out of the bed! I bought an OTC tools metric ton engine crane. It hoist up to 2 feet in the air. Got it off craigslist for a good deal. MSRP of about 4k!!! Sometimes you do...

clinto, what brand is that gantry?

hey steve I actually did find that picture! But it did not give me the height of the bed. More googleing and I figure I need a gantry crane AT LEAST 8.5 feet wide and 6.5 feet high. I emailed Wallace cranes to see how much one would run. Im hoping it will also serve as a good engine puller...

Thanks. If I dont need to pull the top Thats what ill do. It even all ready has a passenger suspension seat in place of the stock crap bench, maybe I wont even need to remove it! Im still considering a portable gantry crane. Do you have any idea how big it would need to be to go over the bed of...

best picture I have of the interior of the barn... http://s882.photobucket.com/user/austinaubinoe/media/472547_2492554393008_882969729_o_zpsb6bea71a.jpg.html so there is no low beams in the main center area. Any ideas of mounting an I beam across? Or maybe making a portable I beam? HMMMM...

I this this would be a better Idea: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-2-Ton-15-ft-Hand-Chain-Hoist-9675-20/203407511#.UVMs1VuY7DE I found on on craigslist for a little over a $100. The new barn my dads building (frame from the 1890's!!) will allow the deuce to fit inside the main area, and...

Thanks alot guys! Now I remember why last time I was on here I was trying to see if I could just replace the input yoke thats cracked in half. The dude I bought it from says It was probably driven for a while with the broken part because it was owned by the national guard. They try to break the...

Does anyone have pictures or a writeup of swapping out a transfer case safely and cheaply? I bought my 53 about 2 years ago now, and it has not left my yard. The stock input yoke is toast and I suspect internal damage. The guy I bought it from gave me an extra case, so Im just going to swap them...

Hey Im really looking hard for a set of pioneer tools for my 53. I searched for bob turner surplus and got nothing on the google machine. Do you have a phone number, or a website? Thanks!

Hey does anyone have this crane mounted in there m35 bed? Vestil WTJ-2 Winch Operated Truck Jib Crane, Welded Steel, 1000 lbs Capacity, 56" Overall Height, Yellow: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific I need a crane to raise and lower shop equipment into the bed for transport. Were moving our...

Thanks thats all I needed to know. I was worried that DTM paints could not be applied over primer. But I just had to prime it!

:oops: Wow I totally read that as $11 a gallon. Guess I am a little slow today! OK so its $50 a gallon. Would you say its worth it if my truck is already in primer? The price difference is not significant to me. WHAT is gonna hold up the longest? EDIT: added some current pictures. Paint is...

:shock: umm what! The BM Alkyd is 1/2 the price as the rustoleum gallons! WOW... So this would be my best option I guess. If I rent that airless sprayer, would I need to dilute it with xylene? At that price Ill get 4 gallons to do some extra coats. No problem top coating the cured red oxide...
