I bought the restoration 383 green from Milspray about a year ago and painted my M35A2. It was the easiest paint job I ever did and came out great. It is water based and all you do is stir it up, and pour into your sprayer as it comes from the can. Clean up was like using latex house paint...
Thank you Speddmon!, I'll rest easy now. With all the cold weather and snow predicted in the next couple of days I might just be using this thing since our power goes out quite often out here in the sticks....THANKS AGAIN!
Well Happy New Year everyone.... I managed work on my "new" toy over Christimas to resolve the problem with it not staying running. The MEP002 runs like a brand new generator now. After trying everything recommended and even putting on a new inline 9 psi fuel pump it still would not run longer...
Well come to think of it when it's running good the guage needle is steady on 8 1/2 but when it starts to slow down its starts jumping all over the dial. I just thought it might be the $17 guage! I tried another automotive electric pump I have with an inline filter and stuck a hose in a can of...
Well, just an update. Here is what I’ve done so far with no success in figuring the loss of RPM mystery:
I took all the fuel lines off from tank to injection pump. Made sure none were clogged.
Installed new fuel filters.
Took bottoms of transfer pumps off cleaned strainers and inspected...
I'm in my late fifties....never grew up, played with toy trucks when I was a kid...real steel Tonka trucks...always wanted an army truck....thanks to Uncle Sam for selling off the real stuff....had to have one, what else can I say, they're coool!
I thought it might be not getting enough fuel, but there sure seems to be plenty coming out of the return line to the tank. I have tried leaving the fuel cap off and also on and vent opened....????
I'll try blowing out the lines as well, thanks!
MEP 002A looking for suggestions
I recently bought a MEP002A generator from GL. The fuel tank and filters were drained when I picked it up and no crud was in the tank. I got the TM's for this unit and read them. I put fresh diesel in it, primed with fuel pumps and can hear plenty of fuel...
I did my M35 tank about 3 months ago with the KBS product and it turned out great. Only time will tell how it holds up. I did use something like their product from Eastwood Company on a Dodge Charger 14 years ago and it still looks like the day we put it on. Just my 2 cents worth....
This is my duece, it was from the NG as well, it was wired with lights and had a pencil sharpener in it for doing "real work" :grin:; it was used as some sort of field office.....
My brother and I have an old 1972 USAF Dodge deicing bucket truck that looks to be an exact match for the 34102 color. It was originally "flight line" yellow, then OD, now it looks to be a CARC color very close to 34102. I've got a picture on my album link below.... BTW if anybody out there...
I bought a M35A2 a couple of months ago from there. I went the day before I picked it up and the guys there were extremely nice and helpful. They cranked the truck and let me check it out so I knew what to expect on the drive home. The National Guard Armory is right next to Redstone Arsenal...
Thank you so much for the info... I'll be glad to donate to this site to help keep it goin' so maybe the info I get here will help me keep this thing chuggin along...these ARE really cool old trucks!!!!!!!
