I broke one of my rim studs on a 24 bolt wheel and recall finding it once in a TM, and now I can’t find it anywhere. Found the 12 bolt studs, but not the 24 ECV version. I never ask for PNs without first making the attempt myself, but I’m coming up empty.
thanks!
I've given up trying to get these 24 bolt wheels and tires mounted and holding air. I've got a PVC (Wigsplitter/Trailworthy) insert in one, and the standard Hutchinson runflat in the other, and I can't get either to seal up and hold air.
Believe it or not, I mounted all 9 of my HEMTT wheels...
I have an M1165A1 (I think it's a 2007) serial number 249812. Of course when I got it was missing some important parts, one of them being the steering box. I am aware that around this point the REV models got the Sheppard steering box, but I'm not sure if mine got that or not. Does...
I bought an M1165A1 from GP, and it’s missing the 400A pulley. Now I’m in the predicament of deciding if I pay $450 for the overrun pulley new, wait for a used one to show up on eBay, or buy a $100 solid pulley.
Any suggestions or advice for a new humvee guy? I don’t want to go one direction...
I am trying to find some part numbers for my M1165A1 and I find that the TM 9-2320-387-24P doesn't seem to have the odd M1165A1 parts I am looking for, such as these roof-mounted overhangs that bolt down on the base aluminum roof at each side. Anyone know what the TM is I should be looking in...
I have spent considerable time going through my various TMs trying to find the part number for this heat/AC dataplate without success. Found the earlier plate easily, but not this newer one. Can anyone help direct me to it please?
I am shopping for windshields for my M1165A1 and am tempted by the 5/8" thick glass offered on eBay. I see that there are different retainers that fit the 5/8" thick windshields, but what is the appropriate rubber seal to use?
Can someone steer me to the right parts manual that would include...
So since I sold the hemtt there's been a big hole in my garage (and heart) so I took a road trip down to my favorite surplus yard with Stuart (the HEMTT's new papa) and picked up a new little toy to play with....
It's a nice little MEP-362A GPU powered by a Tiernay TT10-1 gas turbine that...
Okay guys, I'm not much of an organizer or volunteer, but I posted this info elsewhere on SS earlier but I think it should get out there so everyone in the NW area can get this info easily.
The event is held each year at the Arlington Air Show, also called the EAA Fly-In. (Experimental...
Getting real close now to the final prime/paint on the hemtt project.
How many gallons of primer and paint should I order? It's going to be sandblasted to bare metal.
I'm doing 3-color camo, but I'm really only worried about getting the base green on. I'll do the black and brown in a week or...
I am going to be sandblasting the crane and framerails on Monday! As soon as that is done I plan on driving it home and painting it with Gillespie Redox primer and 383 green.
My question is about flex additives. The crane obviously has a lot of hydraulic hoses on it, and some of them are...
I have chased my turn signal inop problem do to a faulty flasher, but the markings are all worn off it so I can't get a part number.
It is clear plastic cylindrical flasher with 3 blade connectors on the end. Before everyone pipes up that it's supposed to be a metal box like on the other...
I am getting ready to install the cargo box on my hemtt, but I need to buy some of the springs that go on top of the bed-mounts up at the front of the cargo box where it bolts to the frame. They are so the frame can flex, and 5-tons and Deuces have them too.
If anyone has a 5-ton and can...
I have posted for sale ads for the engine/transmission and transfer case from an M342 Dump truck over in the classified section of Steel Soldiers.
I got a call today from an interested party about the transfer case asking if it was the same as what is in an M35 Deuce.
Anyone have an answer...

I'm trying to get a wheel from GIJoeCzar, and am looking for anyone heading past him on there way to the Seattle area?
If you are I sure could use some help bringing a single 20" hemtt wheel weighing about 125-150 lbs home to me. I am willing to meet anywhere along the highway that is...
Well - my hemtt restoration is finally getting some traction in the last few weeks.
I've got the new transmission in place and connected with a newly shortened and balanced driveshaft that is a whopping 1.5 foot long... For those of you that don't remember, the transmission I removed was the...
I am getting ready to sandblast the cab of my hemtt in a week or two, and as soon as I get it back from blasting and powdercoating (the interior only) I am gonna want to get some paint on the exterior.
My plan is to spray it with Ospho then give it a good epoxy primer and finally finish it off...
I have sold the axles from the old M342 I am parting out to a buddy of mine who is building up a BIG offroad rig. He's got BIG power for it, and will be running the 16-20 michelin's on it.
I've browsed throught the tm's but couldn't find axle and transfercase ratios. I think all the Rockwell...
