Engineering Specifications M35A2

This video was created for a high school engineering class to describe engineering specifications of the M35A2 6x6 military truck.

I have been researching these and the newer 5 ton trucks with the idea of maybe getting one. I have to say that your truck is spectacularly clean, compared to others I have seen. And, your explanation is spot on. Thank you.

Thank you!

Excellent tutorial with a multitude of details for the uninitiated.

[@jeff_hartline_usa]

Thanks!

Finally...somebody explained what PTO stands for. "Power Take Off". Thank you for sharing how exactly the wench connected. Very nice stock M35A2 truck by the way.

Glad it was helpful!

And someone to explain the reason of the NDT

[@alfredfeagins1886]

I learned to drive one of our gun trucks in Viet Nam. I was not an assigned driver because I didn't have a valid driver's license at that time. The truck suffered some considerable damage from an accident. But still ran. My buddies taught me how to use the clutch. And after that, I was using it to transport water from the water station to our barracks. Oh, I did not cause the accident, another driver did. Talking about a pretty tough and reliable truck, it certainly, was.

Thank you for sharing and thank you for your service!

Nicely done review of the M35. 😊👍 One observation: NDT tyres were not designed to fool the enemy. Any competent observer can tell which way the truck was going regardless of directional or non-directional tyres. The primary advantage of non-directional tyres is that they may be used on any wheel station. With directional tyres, they may only be used on one side or the other unless the rims were symmetrical, which is very rare as offset rims are far more common, such as these on the Deuce.

Great comment. Thanks for sharing!

A hell of a workhorse and easy to field repair

[@bob-the-Millwright]

Great video. The transfer case is 2 speed manual shift. the front axle engagement is air shift. The transmission shift pattern was modified so the Soldiers A, B,C. fit into the cab for longer distance comfort.

[@jeff_hartline_usa]

Thanks

By 1970 several of these were fitted with power steering. Many military vehicle engines were typically detuned to provide more reliability for tactical missions. They could easily be bumped up in power though.

I like this powerful truck REO .

[@mnlalgangte]

I appreciate your comment on this engine thanks Alot

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

You can burn other fuels but ideally you should change the injectors. Just speaking from experience wrenching on these in Viet Nam.

[@Markmanthree]

you know it is a big truck when you can go from one side of the engine bay to the other by the bumper.

[@cesarrubeng2]

Excelente, e visto specifications pero nunca algo tan bien detallado de 10

[@jeff_hartline_usa]

The m35 spanned all of the years. M35a2 was late 60s. The a2 upgrade was the super turbocharged multi fuel. The overdrive spicer 5 and the air shift transfer Case. Before they were mogas no over drive and Sprague's in the transfer case kicked it in. At between 7 and 9 percent wheel slip and full lock in low range. The reason they went airshift is because if the Sprague's were bad you would have no 6x even in low

[@1vester1]

nice truck

[@jeff_hartline_usa]

[@RandyHurtado]

Good job

[@jeff_hartline_usa]

Thanks

[@garymathena2125]

You should put a good coat of grease on that winch cable, then a heavy-duty canvas covering over the cable and winch.

[@jeff_hartline_usa]

Thanks! Definitely keep that winch cable greased. I have heard that the canvas cover can trap moisture. Didn't see many canvas winch covers in active duty.

[@clauditube12]
