Hello,
I am adding an accessory drive pto to my existing transmission pto for front winch and was wondering what linkage or control cables I need to hook it up with? If anyone has information or parts or both it would be a great help.
Ha it's an optical illusion.We run a firewood processor that is a ford f700 parked along side the m35a2. I am setting it up to bring log length firewood home from local wood lots. I had been doing it with single axle dump trucks but needed a more sturdy solution.
I have a 1974 AM General m35a2 cargo truck that I would like to convert to a PTO driven 12' cargo dump. I have a 1975 Ford f700 with 9 foot dump bed. I was hoping to swap the sub frame from the F-700 and add it in between the m35 frame and cargo bed. The Problem is the 3 foot difference in...
I called Memphis equipment and spoke with Melanie (very nice people) they are shipping me out 10 - 11.00r20 g177 on m35a2 rims. Hope to get them mounted up this weekend. If you need tires they have great pricing and excellent customer service and currently have a special with free shipping on...
I have been using my modified m35a2 for quite a few years now with good success. It was created with the help and parts supplied by members of this site. I am wanting to upgrade the tires and/or tires and rims on this truck with something that offers better weight handling capacity and better...
Thanks for all the comments. The loader weighs about 5000# The main use for the truck is loading other truck and trailers. I also use it to load the carrage of are band mill and for removing the slabs.
I hope to make a second m35a2 down the road with dumping log bunks but we will be a while...
I just wanted to post some photos of my first military truck project and also thank all the people from this site that helped out with information and parts to make it happen. I resently purchased my 1971 m35a2 hardtop wo/w from Ken Kublo at Kublo's Surplus (great people to deal with) drove it...
Gringeltaube how much does the loader on the back of the duece weight best guess? Is the weight displaced well enough so as not to make the front end feel light when driving. I am trying for a street legal truck was not sure if the one in your photo was on road or off.
The old international I have the loader mounted on now has it behind the cab.The photo is above in the thread. That configuration limits your reach and unless you want to pass logs over the truck causes you to work mostly from the sides. If I rear mount I can back up to my work and have full...
Thanks for all the information and the photos. That transfer case mounted pto is that original military part or commerical unit? I will need to come up with someway to run my oil pump as well. Was not sure what would be best. My loader mount is 28 inches how far back would you double up? Also...
The loader I have has hydralic stabilizer legs. They take all the stress when the loader is in use. gringeltaube nice set up is that a 2 1/2 or 5 ton truck? I am attaching a photo of my loader as mounted on my current truck. Thanks for your help.
I am wondering if you think a 5000# Barko 80 log loader could be rear mounted on an m35a2. I would mount it in the space between the rear most dual and end of frame. The purpose is as a crane carrier not a haul truck. Thanks in advance
