    Mule tire changing?

    ""When mounting, do not think that by putting the valve stem in the wheel hole and by holding it, the tube won't spin. You'll just rip the valve stem off the tube. Trust me."" Clinto when your mule got its first set of new shoes I whacked one tube just as you said. The old tires had been on...

    Proud American at 1st Cav Rededication Ceremony

    Thanks for posting this PB............. HISTORY TRIVIA.....I got to looking at the plackard and noticed that they did not mention that the 2nd Inf Div that was assigned to Ft. Benning at that time was also incorporated in the 1st Cav. As a mater of fact there were more troops in the 2nd Inf...

    Battery Disconnect Type

Here is what I have used...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Well PB and Z I think you might consider going PCS to another state. One that is more MV friendly. There are some nice ones out here in the west. PB you might have to unpack your cold weather gear after all. Both of you old troops know darn well you cannot train a rock to act rationally...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    "GA will tag and title these BMY/Harsco trucks which are much safer than the 800 series trucks they already allow or we will raise so much hades that they will give in or GL will not be allowed to sell them in GA." Are you saying PB that GA will not allow BMYs to be used on GA highways ? That...

    M109 box on M932A2

    Those pictures do not show the frame extension. It is 17 inches of frame and then add the bumperetts and it all comes to a total of 25 inches. The bumperetts will then extend about 1-1.5 inches beyond rear of the cargo box or 109 box. The same distance as I added to the M818 when I put the...

    M109 box on M932A2

    I have a M931A2 with a standard deuce cargo box on it. As we all know the mounting measurements for a 109 box and a cargo box are exactly the same. The box is mounted with the two inverted "C" holders under the box centered between the tandems. Just like it is when the box is mounted on a...

    AN/GRC-46 Shelter and Radio Restoration

    Have not followed the TTY stuff for many years, but does anyone still do 60 WPM TTY communications? Not to sure about the R-392 receiver but the R-390 and the R390A (the non rugged version with the same freq specs etc.) I still see in my sleep sometimes. Must have repaired and/or calibrated...

    Ideal Tire setup on M35a2

    1100x20s on a M35 are a no brainier. They are the tire that came on the M34s, the issue tire. The M34 has no problems at all with power etc. You need to change the speedometer sending gears however, and you can get a correct set from Saturn Surplus.

    Cummins 6CTA idle oil pressure 10psi, 2000 RPM pressure 45-50

    It seems sort of low to me also.. However both the older (2004) and the new (2012) issue of TM 9-2320-272-10 both say that the normal idle pressure is 15 psi. Page 2-3 in the old manual and page 0004-3 in the new manual. Got to love those manuals........

    M939a2 tire wobble

    As has been posted before putting fluid in a M939A2 that still has a working CTIS is just asking for trouble. The system will puke sooner or later with fluid going in and out to the wheel valves etc. Adding things to the inside of the wheel is not the answer for an A2. It may work for an A1...
