I’ve got the info somewhere, maybe a whole manual. A lot of those types of vehicles are similar to start and run, not much different sequence than a commercial truck. For instance, off the top of my head, and this may even apply...flip master battery switch on, turn on fuel pump, watch fuel...

Have you ever been inside of one? They are a bit cramped for most adults. The MTLB, on the other hand, is quite roomy inside and tolerably easy to move around in while stooped down. Passage to the cockpit is even easy to maneuver through, far easier than the BMP series. That being said, I...

You need to join the forums at Bob Is The Oil Guy, those people will climb out of the woodwork with all of the answers you need. I’m afraid I can’t offer any help but I’m very interested to see where this goes. Thank you for sharing that with us.

I believe it resides here: https://www.scribd.com/document/344390699/nn10-pdf EDIT: Oops, I had that bookmark saved, I didn't realize that site requires a subscription. I will keep checking my bookmarks to see if I have it saved elsewhere. My wife's M1009 has the conversion done, if you need...

@WillWagner, wow, thank you very much!

I’d love to see that! Only ever saw one operational in all of my life.

Sounds like an absolutely perfectly productive day! I love the feeling at the end of such a day.

I have just spoken with the aforementioned gentleman. He said there are two operational existing HMMWV Fisher plows that he knows of, one at CEATS and one at the Williston Army National Guard armory. He said that one can probably go down to the armory and view it from the fenceline, or possibly...

There were plow frames for the HMMWV at Camp Ethan Allen Training Site (CEATS) in Jericho, VT, a few years ago. I believe they were made by Iroquois Manufacturing in Hinesburg, VT. Iroquois is a dealer for Fisher and I wouldn’t be surprised if they or Fisher could assist. I’m actually meeting...

Be assured that there's interest in your journey! At least myself and Evil Dr. Porkchop I bet :)

Thank you. Perhaps something like the BFG AT or General Grabber?

My area has experienced similar conditions. What tires are you running on the CUCV? Not having dedicated snow tires, I always chain up but would prefer to be able to drive into town (no chains).

I love this idea for a thread! I’m sure there will be plenty of interesting encounters to read The only member I’ve met whose user name I know is Evil Dr. Porkchop. It was in the context of a vehicle he was selling at a local military vehicle rally. I work with a gentleman who is a member...

Outstanding!! Can you provide details on the model number(s) of the parts involved? I have a Speedcast setup right now, so the frame is fixed year-round, but would love a Minute Mount!

Search the Bob Is The Oil Guy forums for OCOD- the Orange Can of Death. ...although I’m pretty sure Fram quality today is light years ahead of when the term was coined about 20 years ago.

Can you feel any feedback through the steering wheel? If so, check the frame for cracks where the steering box is bolted to it. You can see it very easily when you open the hood and look down. Well-known design issue with these vehicles, and a preventive or corrective action is easy (search...

I wanted to post a huge “thank you” to rodent for this thread. Ever since I read the last few posts, I’ve meant to try this trick. Today I finally got around to buying the tubing and the result was astonishing!! My driver’s door closed perfectly for the first time!! Easily and relatively quietly...

I have no idea if any single military vehicle or part is remaining on any of the properties, but the Prospect Street locations were (using Google Street View) #378 (shelter backs and deuces) and #265 (all other vehicles). It appears that all that remains of 265 is a dirt driveway and some...

Wow. There was a similar place on Prospect Street in West Boylston, MA, about 20 years ago. Deuces, MBs, M37s, all over at least four acres. Bunch of shelters too. I never knew who owned the land until it was way too late to contact them. Some of the stuff ended up on another farm on route 110...

Understatement of the day; this thread is phenominal!
