    The diagram being updated here may be of help. I'm not sure of the meaning of you quote, but we know much more about the program than RetiredWarHorses mistakenly assumed in January. How this relates to the TM Service Manual is that the platform was experimental and not obsolete, the TM...

    I think I've identified the original starter application, and waiting for another owner to verify fit and function is correct. About $100 new for the complete 24V starter and solenoid, including shipping. You bolt the special ITV adapter/nose onto it, as shown in @1978ford250's documentation...

    I haven't needed to investigate the starters yet, but did a little research for "what if". I found used and new 12V starters are fairly common in Europe, so I ordered a used Bosch (about $80 + $45 shipping) for a backup to rewire. I also took the info I had to a local electric motor repair...

    Good point. @1978ford250 - is there a release sheet somewhere for those, allowing distribution? Probably a subject for another thread, but as you brought it up - what about the platform is "crappy"? Keeping in-mind the needs of the Corps versus our uses - two different perspectives. From...

    Thanks, @1978ford250! It is a general inquiry for all important operating stuff, with the rear-steer centering just one example. Whatever you can get to help us operate one "properly" would be of immense help. Trying to avoid "duh" mistakes out of ignorance.

    Thanks for your help @1978ford250! Important operator basic DOs and DON'Ts and checklists will help tremendously. Like @m1161, I don't want to randomly try things. For example, my rear-steer is welded; so should I push the rear-steer centering button before each drive, in order to ensure the...
