wow , that recent video is WAY better than the cummins technician training film i saw on there some years ago ! nice find !

perfect for that.. my M109a3 shop van's roof makes a great platform to trim my roadway limbs , beats trying to work in a small area such as a loader bucket ! But do it on a dry day, don't ask me how i know :3dAngus:

i am at a loss of ideas .. it ran strong for me as well until i started having trouble with it sucking air after it sat around a lot during its last years here .. i can only think "injector screens" however my only experience i've had with a clogged screen was one of my M818's and the errant...

the inspection date area on the nomenclature tag is often blank .. i would bet your entry is a rebuild date .. as HDN mentioned, the USA registration number (VIN) indicates it's a 1971 , and the tag also indicates the initial 4-year build contract for the manufacturer, which was awarded in...

pawet , i only have one question ... can i drive it? :D ........... after you, of course !

i have a crap-ton of green and red :ROFLMAO: .. only the best from both worlds (y)

oh, but that open-sideboard style is called a "stock trailer" .. but still can be used for horses and we can still rag on him ! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: i was a sucker for a horse lady ,, once ... she had up to a dozen at any time ... ugggggg ! it was only when i started showing up with...

I took advantage of that fact several years ago due to 120v present at the utility receptacle.. Had an evening field task requiring intermittent hole drilling with 15-minute pauses in between .. Yes the drill motor ran slower due to genny not even reaching 50cy output at an idle , but the slow...

i got tired of re-patching that pesky elbow, so last year when i had no time and no help a local heavy shop replaced everything behind the turbo on my commercial FLD120 .. bill was around $1200 .. the cost of parts was 3x more than the labor .. ouch .. at least the new donaldson muffler...

don't know of any cucv-type pumpers, but the local FD had an OEM military setup on a dodge M37-type.. It had a 300g pod of same design as the 600g fuel pods seen on 1950's-90's deuces and 5-tons .. i have mentioned it on SS before and still haven't come cross pics i took of it 40-50 years ago

Little Soldier-B's can stand up and reach places the rest of us can't ! .. Perfect for those catch-22 spots where we can't reach laying down and can't see it squatting or kneeling.. I have one of mine all this week and yep he's gonna get dirty ! :D (his gramma and mom ain't gonna see...

several years ago i pulled a 290 out of an M818 dump conversion that is (still) missing the cover plate on the side of the PT pump as well as the pivot shaft nut. .. It came from a different town than yours, but the 290 clearly was tinkered with .. I stuffed it in a commercial dump last year but...

for a long time i have done it to brake cables (civilian & mil) and hydraulic valve cables on heavy equip by stuffing one end into a funnel throat and sealing the joint with a piece of old innertube and hose clamps (rubber hose would work) .. Hang it up and pour bar & chain oil .. It can take...

yes, that was the only noticeable feature .. externally, the norway truck looked like any other M35A2 except it having M34-style rear wheels

happy easter ! yes, i noticed the nozzle holder is in the spot found on A2's .. but i will tell you there might have been a reason it got moved on the later trucks.. The location is a pain in the butt on the old M49C's , it's almost in the way .. Especially if your muddy boot slips on the...
