    Geared Hub Maintenance Questions

    If you are asking me, not having gotten into a geared hub before and this being a first for me, the answer is no, but I think it's a good idea and will plan to do it on mine when I finish up, thanx.

    Geared Hub Maintenance Questions

    I’m looking for some guidance/advice on how to deal with a couple of issues I have come up against while going through my geared hub. This is the first time I have gotten into a geared hub, so I'm still in the learning phase. Issue 1: On the drive gear shims between the retainer and hub...

    PRC-128 (PRC68 Type Radios) External Power Setup

    Thanx Chris, Your site and PRC68.com have been my "go to first" sites for problems and research. If your page had the answer, I missed it. I went back to the manual and still couldn't find and mention of how the frequency displays (lacking the first #) on the high band when entering. I have...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finished the turret and swing arm mount install. Austin(beltfed), your old turret is finally in it's new home. Had to do it Augi style, haven't been able to source a hardtop yet.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got to play with the truck this last weekend. Provided communication support for an endurance run through the mountains here in NE Utah. Found an alternative use for the UPA support.

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    Not exactly what you are looking for in an answer, but on mine I have a reinforcement plate that covers all the way across the lifting shackles and the four surrounding mounting bolts. This made it level with the mud flap mount. I actually had to wait and get the mud flaps before I could mount...

    PRC-128 (PRC68 Type Radios) External Power Setup

    KE6RWJ I know this is an old thread but I see you are still out there on other posts. I have a PRC-128, but it has issues, I think. I has a high band RF/IF module but the radio only allows me to enter low band frequencies. From what I have read in the manuals the radio should automatically...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I had the same problem. I put the bracket on the mill and lengthened the slots so it allowed the bracket to reach where I needed.

    I've been trying to find one of those for a while. Where did you source it?

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    My motor doesn't move, but it use to, until I realize the mounting bolts were just slightly loose. Just a thought, not trying to be a smart aZZ. I've been trying to find a mounting cup for my tach and have not been able to find one deep enough to hold it. Where did you find yours?

    Visual difference of Basic and Supplemental Armor HMMWV Hardtop?

    Thanx Lionel and Greg. The pictures helped One thing that I also found out is I had the part #'s wrong. Supplemental are 5595393 and 12339631-2 and basic are 12339623-1 and -3. That little revelation helped clear up some confusion. So if I understand correctly the main feature to look for...

    Visual difference of Basic and Supplemental Armor HMMWV Hardtop?

    Can anyone describe/show the visual difference between a HMMWV basic and supplemental armor (M1025/26) hardtops? From the manual the part numbers for a basic are 12339623-1 and 12339631-2 and supplemental 5595393 and 12339623-3. But there is no description, so when I'm looking at pictures...

    Very nice setup, where have you and Juan found the KYK-13's? Been looking for years and never have even seen one for sale.

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Large hole is on the driver side rear. There was a large mounting plate there that I removed and threw in the extra stuff pile. In pic one there are actually 4 plugged holes, and there are a lot more plugged holes nearby. I wasn't sure if they were standard holes that are in every HMMWV and...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    That would be a real good idea, but my holes are from small self tapping screws they used to tie down cables and one large hole they missed drilled and hit one of the reinforcing angles which they hacked out pretty bad to make the hole work. On the bright side I have always wanted to learn how...
