First tag toward tub
Columbs labeled Responsible Agency ; xxxx; maintenance;
Us army repeated in columns for
Chassis
Xxxx Body
Xxxx Equipment
Second tag
Weights columns empty; cross country
166 1/2 long
83 wide...
Well, here is what we can make out on the data plates and a pic of the air brake set up, appears to not have an air tank, but just the master cylinder. Tail lights are the rubber Douglas connectors. the 2/68 date may refer to the TM and not the DOD of the trailer. If the TM is correct, this...
Picked this trailer up today from a farm auction. Data plate says Stevens A2501M67. Don't know why it is not in order, but I'm guessing this is a variant of the M105 1 1/2t trailer around 1967. But I can't find any reference to the steel landing wheel. It is 24v with military tail lights...
Need M998 to transport US Army Black Knights at an air show tomorrow and just discovered that my drivers side rear seat base plate and cushion are missing. Want to cut a piece of plywood so that I can carry a jumper back there. But my M998 is staged at the PDK airport and I'm not near it, so...
I'm away from my shop and manuals and want to pull the front diff cover to see why a small leak. Any tips or tricks to the removal? Got all the bolts out but two on the passenger side, one comes loose but cannot be removed as it bottoms out against the caliper bracket. The blt right aboth it...
So, if we are thinking fire extinquisher bracket and the holes match each other on each fender, this would be a bracket on each fender. Any reason for two extinquishers out on the fenders? Maybe one a decontaiminator and one a fire ext? Two decontaminators? Don' know if I have a bracket...
Looked at a friends 73 Ax today and pretty original, not a lot of Bubba mods. Missing lift rings and brackets on front, felt like holes in the rear for snorter and antenna mount. But, on each front fender, five hholes in same pattern on both front fenders about half way from cowl to grill...
I restore a lot of military vehicles and reproduction, blank data plates have always been available for me to stamp with vehicle serial numbers and DODs. But, I need two for two M998s that are being restored and I'm not having any luck finding some. Don't know if it's a military regulation...
Oooops, spoke too soone. After I moved all my mounts and bases between my two Humvees, one a slant back and one a soft top, I still come up a antenna wip lower section short. I have several of the small thread 6707 mast sections, but need one larger 3900 lower section. If anyone has one...
So, with a lot of trial error, here is what I have. It appears that the 3900 base is the larger thread and most of my bases and antennas are of this model. The NOS antenna base and antenna mast I just received is a 6707 and is a small diameter thread. So, I don't need any adapters as I have...
Have several two piece whip antennas for the Humvee era vehicles and several spring bases and mounts. All are the same size thread and match up perfectly. I needed one moure base and picked one up in a estate auction parts lot. Mounted it to my mount M998 and it bolts up perfectly, but my...
Here is the email I received from a Humvee vendor who's opinion I have no reason to doubt or believe he has any hidden agenda. That's why I'm coming here to seek "real world" experiences.
Sorry hit the Send button by accident. The reason so man new kits were surpluses is they were designed...
It is my understanding that MRAPs were equipted with these light bars and the power drain was causing issues, so they were pulled from them and replaced with the LED versions which are still in use. I do not think the Humvees were ever provided the Ibis Tek halogen lights due to this power...
Have an opportunity to pick up a kit with at least two remote spots and several UV lights on several bars. NOS originally for the MRAP but was told will fit Humvee. All excited and then someone told me that these were surplused because they were pulled off all the MRAPs due to power issues and...
