We plan on heading up late Wednesday afternoon with the 5ton, and Bronco. May have to head back home Saturday AM.

When I saw that last photo, all I could think was Oh no! We should have warned you not to let gimprobb drive… or play with! But glad you rolled it over for us to see the underside, truly amazing!!!

I haven’t went back to reread everything, but are we sure there is not some junk in the fuel tank, that is sucking up and blocking the end of the fuel pickup tube, or do these trucks have a sock on the end of the pickup?

Ive ran across a set of new points for an old tractor that had a very hard to see plastic like film on the contacts. Would not start until the film was peeled off.

You can usually find MRAP to Deuce adapter plates on ebay. There’s a set on there now that the seller claims are originals that @peashooter used to sell, good stuff! Avoid the Western Canadians junk like the Plague! Myself and others on here have bad experience with their plates. M1231 Husky...

Also, welcome aboard! Just one thing, we need pictures of this truck, especially shots of her at work!

There was an MWO done that neutered the front brakes on these trucks in an “attempt” to make them “safer” to drive. I believe it was part of the ABS MWO if I remember correctly. I have plans at looking into changing mine back closer to a normal bias one of these days…

Wrong mirrors. Wrong gauges. Might as well start over, and send that one to me to play with? But seriously Pawel, your model looks amazing! I wouldn’t be concerned about leaving the motor-pool mods in place, especially if you have pictures to support them.

Also, just an FYI… If you do order a manual, be certain it covers your serial number range.

Index of one of the parts manuals on ebag. One of the only few other photos that where taken during my rebuilt 15 years ago.

Been there done that, plus welding new grouser bars on. Hope your back recovers quickly! If you ever have to do the D7 use a 28mm socket and the most bad as impact you can get your hands on. The 28mm fits tighter than 1-1/8”. I still wore out two impact sockets just changing out one set of...

I would think by time the G rolled out A/C should have been an option, but not necessarily for the military. Any chance you have, or have checked the D7G Cat manuals? If Cat ever optioned A/C for the G it should be in there. If not stop by or call your local Cat dealer, they are “usually” very...

I just ordered 1984 version, but it has changes 1-4, and a little beat up. I will update when I get eyes on.

The more I think about it, with as much as these trucks flex, I would cut the hitch back off and make it bolt onto the bottom of the frame…
