    Bought a M818

    I think at some point they couldn't get the truck started anymore so they let it sit there because they were getting newer 5 tons (923's) and they also had a couple of M915's there too.

    Bought a M818

    Good thing, we were able to get it to turn over and it fired up. The bendix was kinda froze up, got it working and it turned over. Used the primer a bit and it still wouldn't light up. The kid helping me grabbed a can of starter and gave it a half second blast into the air cleaner and it...

    Bought a M818

    What I was told it does turn over but acts like it has no compression. So whether it's true or not I have to find out.

    Bought a M818

    I have another NHC250 lined up for a good price if it is the motor. What's the advantage to the 8.3?

    Bought a M818

    This is one of two trucks that the local County I for picked up. So I doubt anything other than oil changes and fuel ups were the only regular things done to the truck. Other than piecing certain things together like the exhaust. Like I said, will see what it needs and go from there.

    Bought a M818

    I lost out on an older multi-fuel 5 ton in the area.....(someone backed out of buying a rifle from me)....but this came up and it was cheaper than the asking price for the older multi-fuel 5 ton. The old multi-fuel needed a bell housing, a jackshaft and a front drive shaft. Probably more work...

    Bought a M818

    A deal came up for a M818 truck in my local area. So I picked it up for a really good price. It needs some work. The body is in good shape, but the motor needs work. I was told that it will turn over but it won't start up and fire. Gonna make arrangements to get it to a local shop of I guy...

    dual brakes or split brakes on an M39 5-ton

    This is what I am want to check into too. I know M35 owners have done the conversion with the A3 brake systems. Didn't know if the master cyliner from an A3 would work for the M39 series 5 ton as well.
