You're kinda new around here so welcome aboard. Sending Davyboysmith a Private Message PM is a great start. If you're navigating the site for the first time and can't find something, let us know. The peanut gallery will be screaming for pictures and I am tracking vin/ serial numbers / unit...

Those parts look identical to the G749/ M135 seats. There's even a little fold up tab hanging there to lock the troop seats in the up position. I can't say I looked close enough at the CCKW seats but I will now. Maybe they didn't change much. The ones in the pic below are from the G749, 50's...

Is this the correct engine? .......... Continental R6572; 6 cylinder, 4 cycle, in-line gasoline ......... If that's the correct engine I can sniff around up North. http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/hstm5.html Wondered if the 302 and hydromatic might fit as a substitute? There appears to be an...

You're kinda new around here so welcome to the adventure. We do these long 80 mile parade runs and a cummins M37, with a bed in the back would be a great platform. Get er' done. There's one up north here that was done so well it looked factory. I'll look for my pictures. That "Cummins M37"...

While we're on the topic of new things in packages, you fellas were talking about some double seal style type seals. Anticipating that someone, sometime in the future will re-store....or in many case, re-re-store one of these old deuces, we should keep our eyes open for the other perishable...

The index in these books must have made sense to someone. Found an outrigger photo which looks close so hope we have something.

Not sure if we have a match but I grabbed a bunch of photos from a few manuals. The Canadian pages are half French and not organized where all the crane info is in one spot. Some reference an M543, some reference the M818 but I saw some 246 info as the sun set. I dragged the books out of the...

After 100 years of family farming, research and weather record keeping, I have no idea. In 2018 we were still on the ice mid April. Usually ........frozen roads go away by April. It might snow into May but the pavement gets warm enough it's better than the 7 months of ice road trucking...

........and the other reason is the holiday time North of the border. What is the role of that "throttle valve lever"? Back in the day a fella at Reno Excavating was showing how something could get hung up. I recall some 2" ish long lever that was close to 3 round things with a role pin that...

Did a little search on "Austin Western Company Crane" ......then hit 'images' .....and found one with some similarities. https://www.thejumpingfrog.com/product/2316187/Austin-Western-Model-110-Hydraulic-Crane-sell-sheet-specs-ca-1960 There was also a military reference so there is data out...

Hey you're new around here and in a warm place. Welcome aboard and any chance you get to send warm pictures, it's always appreciated. My nieces good friend, Amy, moved there from Canada a decade ago....say hi to her for me. How much does that box weigh? We've done 'clean' removals and...

How do the serial numbers work? I see 246 a bunch of zeros and a 4. Is that the 4th truck off the line? I can't get to the TM library for a few weeks but will check for outrigger info. If other TM requests come up let me know. We found more manuals for 5 tons in a wrecking yard and need to...

I battled with a similar problem in the 1010 then some SuperDave guy replaced an $8.00 relay under the hood that made the glow plugs glow again. Mostly parked indoors, we did have a few cold starts at altitude. Once things are volted and working correctly, cold starts should never be a problem.

First time I'd seen a switch in that spot. Does that look like an after market thingy and what in this world of MV lingo is a ground lift night switch? 👈

So far we're finding the CDN trucks had upgrades from factory and 1 3/8" wheel cylinder was standard. I say 'so far' because we never say never and might find 1 1/4" in a CDN truck one day. It appears, most likely, possibly, many American G749 threads report 1 1/4" wheel cylinders so it could...
