As far as filters are concerned, the one I take care of has remote filters and they are just simple spin on ones. They are not originals. The WIX website has a pretty good filter cross reference. Do you have the 6-71's? Detroit diesel made the remote kit used on the boat here.

The difference in snow is pretty noticeable. The 778 (singled out deuce) went thru the snow without nearly as much trouble. Without using the lockers. Where the deuce would have a tendency to start hopping the single tires would seem to just plow through. On the dirt pile the M35 would claw...

These may be the date codes for the Goodrich tires? 4131U306, 12285F499, 33193U307, 5875U306 Ill have to crawl under there and see if I can get the others. They say Good-year with the winged shoe logo. I wonder if the carcasses were recapped but I don't see a line like I would expect.

Is it possible to get contact info for this place in Iowa? I'm wondering id they would sell parts.

#78 has the BFGoodrich Silvertown tires. There are two different age tires and the main difference is the 4-69's have the FSN and a part number on them. These are the ones with no center rib. #79 has the Goodyear tires MA2X 8ABO67 on at least three. The others seem to be facing inward...

I'll have to take a second to look for date codes on these. I have some maintenance records for the trucks. #79 looks like it got new tires regularly through the '80s one at a time and an entire set in the mid '90s. All from the forest service as the receipt claims no charge. Seems like there...

Did some comparing, and playing of course. The two 778's 778 and M35 just to look at the different clearances and sizes. 778 and M932a2 "New" 16.00x20 and "Old" 16.00x20 and lined them all up just because As for the center cuts, I think the tires were made that way. The goodyears on...

The tag on the front axle reads FC240RDAX1 6.72 ratio. The axle is dimensionally the same as a deuce. Rear axle C240RDAX1 6.72 ratio

Xm778-2 This project continues to move along at the blistering speed of a glacier. I have found another XM778. The Vin on the tag is one digit off from the first truck. Factory sisters! Ill be getting more pictures uploaded so here are a few to tide you over in the meantime. This one runs...

REO XM778 pictures from Gary Boynton Collection These Photos were posted to the facebook M35a2 deuce and a half page. I have contacted the photographer and have permission to use them so I reposted them here. Gary was a photographer at REO and he has a bunch more photos on the other page. You...

Thanks David! No need to apologize! I appreciate all help.

So far this is the only Pic of the M49A2c that will load. I'll get more

no pumps or separators. no unmodified doors. these were converted to brush trucks and they had little gas powered pumps in the back.

This one is labeled ad am M49C but it is multifuel and overdrive trans. There is no pump but the Trans PTO is there and works. Supposed to be an aluminum tank. Three compartment. the baffles have been sliced to make it one big tank for fire use. Runs and drives, no brakes. Wondering if...

Parts donor problems This project is still moving slowly ahead. the local GSA had some deuces for auction so I bought two. I intended to use at least one for parts and spares. There is a catch, as usual. These are fuel trucks. before you guys beat me up for tearing them apart, please let...
