My wife was walking by my M35A3 W/W and noticed a flexible air line hanging down under the truck. Turns out it was one of the 1/4-inch pneumatic lines running from the hydraulic winch to the shifter tower in the cab. Damn rats again. The rat chewed the tubing through just where it does through the cab floor into the shifter tower in the cab. It was the line that goes to the upper switch in the tower. It actually isn't that hard to replace. However, I found another problem. My M35A3 previously held air pressure for many hours. Recently, the air pressure had been bleeding down fairly fast, but I couldn't find the leak. I've now found the leak. When I removed the side panel on the shifter tower to access the pneumatic tubing, I heard air leaking. One of the elbows connecting to one of the pneumatic lines has failed. A new one is now on the way from Amazon. Now, maybe my pneumatic system will again hold air pressure.
