    CDL Instruction Permit help for someone with no M923A2 truck in Nevada

    If you take the test in a tractor trailer you better know how to manuver it. You will be tested on backing and how you swing on turns, staying in your lane, gear shifting, etc. Backing a semi isn't rocket science but it takes practice and you eventually get a "feel" for where the rear of the...

    It may have undergone a rebuild. Check for a Modification Work Order (MWO) tag somewhere on the body or frame.

    Rubber rope

    I replaced part of the cord on my M927 with black 5-50 paracord. It works great and secures the cover just a good as the rubber stuff.

    M929 Dump Truck flexibility?

    Either a 3 axle straight dump truck or a tractor trailer dump. I bought a tri-axle of small limestone and it would have filled my buddy's 5 ton dump three times. A semi-trailer would haul a lot more. Look for one that can pull a three axle trailer. A good driver can set the tailgate and spread...

    new toy ..... m1070 HET

    I watched the big HETT sale out in Fort Riley, Kansas last week and put a min bid on 17 trucks so I could watch prices. Low bid was for a wrecked one at 5950. High bid was 14000.00.

    M923 Radiator.

    CSMDavis is supposed to be at the GA Rally next month. If he makes it he will be bringing a load of 900 series parts. You can PM him and see if he has one and what he wants for it. I had the radiator on my 5 ton wrecker re-cored and it cost around 800 bucks but that was about 5 years ago.

    How to remove the pintle hitch on M105A1??

    I posted this on another thread but I'll tell you how I did it. Heat the housing that the lunette runs through after backing the nut off (but not removing it). Take a candle, parrifin not beeswax, and melt the wax on the shaft going around and around. The heat will suck the wax up into the joint...

    Can you identify this marking?

    It looks like crude "nose art". Never seen anything official that looked like that.
