The O-rings can be had from any tire dealer that does log skidder or front end loader tire repair. I had a ton A2 tire removed, repaired, new O-ring installed and remounted for 50 bucks. The bolts should be available from NAPA, Fleetpride or Fastenall. We got the bolts for the MK-48 mission...

What he said. The first time I loaded a FPU only onto a transport trailer (up a steep ramp) my O-ring snapped shut so tight you could not have driven a straight pin past it with a twelve pound sledge hammer.:shock::shock: I don't know if the rear axle came off the ground when it topped that...

The bed is 20 feet long. Same width as a regular bed.

These things are squirrelly when they are hooked to a trailer. I loaded several of the cab units onto trailers and the pucker factor was very high. Being that he will be pulling a very short wheelbased vehicle with two steering axles the disaster potential is very high. I'd load it on a trailer...

That's the way to :grd:.

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy. :cookoo: The exhaust pipe on my M927A2 (from the muffler up) decided to abandon truck yesterday while I was flat towing my M275 to the new LZ.:shrugs: I've seen a lot of them do that. I'll probably just straight pipe it now since the bucket over...

SS member Clinto is in Athens. He does super repair and service work but I'm not sure if he does fabrication work. If you have a decent shop, the equipment needed to move heavy stuff around, the right power tools and basic fabrication skills you can do it yourself. There are several threads on...

I just cleaned out the M275 today getting it prepped for movement to the big warehouse where my movie office is located. I'm good for rat turds, abandoned wasp nest and dead flies. But thanks for the offer. I'm moving most of the MV's there in anticipation of shooting a movie there early next...

Hey......they were free....right?

I can't have nothin!!!!!!!!!!:sad:

:grd: I'm wondering how you stop it?:shock:

If all else fails take a Sawzall and cut the end off the manifold and the flange off the pipe. Use a wide band clamp. My logger buddy did that to several of his. Works great and you don't have to remove a lot of stuff to do it.

If it has the 250 Cummings in it. Tap on the starter with a small hammer. It works.

The vehicle has the aerodynamics of a concrete block. It really doesn't matter. As stated above catching all that wind will shorten the life of the cover.

It will pull it but it won't like it. The military used these tractors to pull loaded 5000 gallon fuel tankers on a regular basis. You can do the math. As a rule tactical vehicles don't make good commercial vehicles for several reasons. They tend to be slower on the road. Higher fuel...

Plenty of room in there for it.

Did you build one out of Legos first?

I had seat covers made for my M275 out of the shelter halfs that used to be issued to troops. We called them "GP Tinies".

Offroading a HEMMT will be an expensive and labor intensive hobby. These are not overgrown toys. They were built with specific missions in mind which did not include joyriding in the woods. They ride like an oxcart, suck the bottom out of the fuel tank and are hard to manuver in the woods...

Good news Chappy. It was good to talk to you while I was out there. Keep plugging on that issue we discussed. He needs all the help he can get.
