I weighed my 925A0 (with winch) and the front axle was 11,140, and both drive axles were 12,160 (total 23,300 empty). Theoretically, the tire internal pressure in lbs/squ inch is the same as the force exerted on the surface in lbs/squ inch, regardless of the load. This works when the tire...

I have never heard of a steel airliner. It is all about the design specs and compliance therewith. Aluminum is lighter, easier to fabricate, but costs more.

Neat looking machine! I don't understand how they are supposed to work- Why does the bed have to raise so high? I can visualize how you would load a container, but not how to unload it?? Is it meant to only ferry unloaded containers? Is it supposed to load anything other than standard...

I have two trucks with the 250 and new 11.00x20s and they both run 59 mph at about 2100 rpm. The governor holds the rpm to about 2150 rpm and I get just a little over 60 mph. Your mph will drop as the tires get smaller by the same percentage of tire wear. The speedo in one truck is slow by...

One type of noise that only occurs at high pressure is a rattling of the drive gears. When the engine is at idle and the pump is pumping at high pressure, when the pump piston goes over TDC, the pressure in the head space of the pump will try to drive the pump piston back down. This is in...

M923 A0 recently purchased from GL. a. Serial Number (VIN number) frame and dash tag: C52307304 b. Registration Number on side of hood: NL0JC7 c. NSN without dashes: 2320010502084 d. Where you bought it- GL Indianapolis e. Front Bumper: passenger side: ?; driver side:442 Tailgate...

I was just trying to do that yesterday on an A0- the access hole is on top of the alternator, but under the casting for the oil cooler. Nearly impossible to get a straight screw driver into the hole and engaged with the adjustment screw at the bottom. I used a mirror and noticed the slot is...

Sounds like a good idea, but an expensive one. I would think one huge challenge would be building something that would not be shaken to pieces from the vibration of riding on the stiff suspension of an unloaded 5-ton. Probably would not be able to keep fresh eggs in the 'frig!

Different varieties of trees vary greatly in how well they are attached to the ground. We found that you can pull up a big tree and leave a hole in the ground worse than a stump. It will be easier to grind a stump down than fill the hole left by pulling up the entire tree. Two 5 tons can...

I went to a truck parts shop and asked for the most common size of caging bolt for on-road tractors and what I got was the correct item. NAPA has them, and certainly some of their stores will stock them. I don't have any numbers for what I got, but I do know it was not the largest size...

The down side of different pressures is that because of the pivot, both mid and rear axle hold up the same weight. If they have different pressures they will have different radii and thus introduce scrubbing. Ideally, the exact center of all driving axles should be exactly the same height from...

Get on level ground and with good air pressure, put the parking brake on which locks the rear axle brakes, jack up one front tire. If you can spin the front tire, the front drive shaft also spins thus being dis-engaged from the rear drive shaft. If front drive shaft and tire do not spin, they...

Is the "serial number" truly a serial number?- Did the first M925 have a number of C52500001 and one with a number of C52500535 was the 535th one built? Thanks

M925 A0 recently purchased from GL- really need actual date of manufacture for title. a. Serial Number (VIN number) frame and dash tag: C52500535 b. Registration Number on side of hood: NL0APY c. NSN without dashes: 2320010478769 d. Where you bought it- GL Wright Patterson e. Bumper...

Success! Andrew at Wright Patterson was a great help with a lot of useful info. After a thorough check-out in Dayton, the decision was made to drive it 500 miles home to Spartanburg SC. The worse part of the trip was my neck- seat stuck full up, I'm tall, so I had to lean over to look out. If...

I will be driving the truck from OH to SC. I have read that the trans fluid may not be ATF, what is likely to be in it?

I am recovering my first MV (M925A0) from Wright Patterson on Monday and hope to have it back to upper South Carolina Monday night or Tuesday. Hopefully it will not end up stored somewhere in between! The trip is about 500 miles. Truck has only a couple hundred miles since RRAD in 2010. Julian H

Hello All- thanks for your help! After lurking for 6 months, and talking to Andyrv6av8r, I learned enough to buy my first MV- an M925A0 from Wright Pat. Plan to pick it up on Monday morning Sep 23, 2013 and drive it 500 miles to upper SC. My receipt is dated Friday, 13th- I hope that is not...
