I have been all over the vehicle looking for tags, stenciling, etc. The only single thing that I found was a stencil in black lettering on the winch that said the "oil" got changed in 2011. There are plates in cab but the numbers seem to be jibberish with none looking like dates. There is the...

Trying to date the refurbishment of my M817 truck. I am assuming that the original slave cable receptacle was dual pin. It now has single pin NATO slave receptacle. Does anyone know the year that these single pin NATO receptacles were adopted? Thanks, Rebar

Most Excellent!

Carnac, Thanks for the information above on the M817. You put the date "May 2008" after the info. Is that when it was refurbished or last info update?? Thank you very much. Donation today--would have even if you hadn't found the info because you have picked a totally righteous cause...

M817 a. Serial Number (VIN)----- C13310504 b. Registration number-----Do not have c. NSN--------- 2320000510589 d. Where bought-----from Sparta, WI (Ft. McCoy--Army) e. Bumper numbers----Can't read I know this truck is over 40 years old, but it has obviously been refurbished by the military...

A hose clamp. Outstanding. That is the kind of "trick" I was hoping for! Thanks to all of you!

Where do you buy new plug and thimble?

No doubt it will be a pain. That is why I am asking for "tips" on reducing the pain.

Outstanding. I didn't even know enough about winches to search the right terms. Really appreciate the help!

The winch cable was pulled out of the chain connector lock nut on GL acquired M817. Finally got the locknut loose. What are the secrets to getting a secure connection? Do I pass the lock nut up on the cable end, put the anvil in the base and then just tighten it down? How far do you push the...

I am a new 5-ton owner and am really not trying to get flamed on this one. I have searched the forum and found way too many confusing threads on this topic. They are confusing only because I am terrible at all things electrical and do not have the electrical background to understand half of the...

Where are you transporting to and from? I tried using some of the guys in the forum, but they sometimes cannot get to the various GL locations across the country. I ended up using uship and had a great experience. Rebar

I LOVE it. Nothing like it!

Have not removed yet. Unfortunately, the truck is at my farm and I am not right now. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it easier to remove or should I just get a hammer and crowbar ready? Rebar

Sorry about this mundane question, but every time that I shift the M817 into reverse I get the expected little puff of air escape, but every now and then, it is a massive flood of air that continues until I shift out of reverse. Then the next time it is just fine. Weird. None of the other...

Still can't figure out why this winch drive shaft disrupted on recently acquired M817. Here is a pic of the shear pin. I think it is the real deal??? Also, here also is a pic of the end of the drive shaft showing the disruption. It just seems like it ought to be all twisted if it failed...

I was messing around in my newly GL-acquired M817 when I found a door sticker stating that the truck had been stationed at Camp Doha in Kuwait???? I think it is an Army truck (salvaged off of an Army base) but not sure. It isn't even the right color (it is dark green). Is this a possibility...

The rest of the parts look okay, but I am worried that other damage occurred before the drive shaft acted as a shear pin. Rebar

This is 1/2 of the winch shaft on a recently recovered M817. How did they do this? The chain is also torn off of the winch cable. Dude! What were you pulling on? Also, anyone know where I can pick up one of these shafts cheap and how to reattach the chain to the end of my winch cable? I am...

Can you haul from Sparta, Wisconsin to Missouri? Rebar
