There is one lever that is pulled up and out to engage the hydraulic bypass. Another toggle switch moves the winch drum in or out. The hydraulic winch on the A3 is identical with the A2 winch except it is driven by hydraulics while on the A2 the winch is driven by the PTO. I have had both A2...

The winch on an M35A3 is hydraulic powered. The controls are pneumatic powered.

Nice looking A3! I love mine. It's good you don't have the motor oil in your transmission. The hydraulic fluid in yours will make it shift much better than with the motor oil. I don't worry about weight. I routinely carry up to 3,000 - 4,000 lbs in mine and I sometimes pull a very heavy...

If you have the 1545 transmission, you have the lock-up torque converter. If they installed a 545 transmission, you don't have the lock-up feature. When you are driving the truck, you can easily feel the torque converter lock up. From a stop, you can count the four gear changes in the...

Do you have the lock-up torque converter? Some A3s came with them and some didn't. Mine has it.

My M35A3 always starts almost instantaneously. It never turns over more than half a revolution before it fires up. It starts up much faster than my M35A2 multifuel ever did. One thing to be aware of on M35A3s is the check valve in the fitting on top of the fuel tank. Small amounts of trash...

I'm not sure why you installed an electric fuel pump and did the bypass. I would recommend bringing the fuel system back to original. Take the alternator off and have it checked out by a shop. Make sure they know ahead of time that it's a 24 VDC alternator.

I'm assuming you are talking about the red switch on the tower? It is actually an air valve. I've seen them on Ebay in the past. It's not good to bypass that valve. You can look in the TM for the manufacturer and part number, but I did it for you. The NSN is: 4820013688562. The part...

You might want to see if someone in your area has an M35A3 that you can look at to see which air lines go where. Sometimes, looking at diagrams and text in the TMs doesn't make things clear. You don't want to make a mistake and switch the two airlines.

I agree. Jatonka's site is by far the best way to get M35A3 TMs. The URL is: http://www.jatonkam35s.com/

Have you read the TMs? The TMs show exactly where the airlines are hooked up. TM 9-2320-386-24-1-2 shows specific instructions on the removal and installation of the transmission, including airline.
