I have taken them apart and cleaned them. If the cups are still good I put them back in, especially for a short term like you have. Many times they are OK and do not leak. If the rust you see inside is not flaky rust, just light surface, do not worry about it. If worse, carefully sand blast it...

Canda7414 a solution we use for farm tractor and other bottom outlet tanks with rust moving around on the bottom is to put a stand pipe in the bottom outlet fitting that is about 1" tall above the bottom of the tank. To do it we drill out the tank bottom outlet fitting hole on the threaded end...

I do not know what kind of emergency brake these have. I can relate that we have an M51A2 dump we had a serious vibration in. We did all of the drive line checks, replaced them from another truck, on and on with no luck. Finally when my son had it at the truck garage where he worked so he put it...

This has to be frustrating to you guys! I know i would not want to be without low reverse in my M series trucks. We have never failed a transfer in hard conditions. I am a design engineer but I have had much experience as an equipment and vehicle operator and mechanic as well. That experience is...

When I have a vehicle that does what I want it to, I do not look at fuel mileage that much. On our M series trucks we disable the front rear axle by removing one axle shaft and substituting an axle cut off about 4" from the tulip end. This disables the axle but does not damage it. The gears...

Another nice thing to add is a pressure switch that senses oil pressure loss. We put them on our performance cars and other motors with electronic fuel and ignition controls we wish to protect against dropped oil pressure ruining a motor. Summit Racing has Stewart Warner pressure switches in...

I put a couple of Tom Cat bait cubes in each truck cab and in other equipment I want to keep the mice out of. Keep checking them and renewing as needed. They are moisture resistant but in really hot weather they will melt.

For my trucks I mount a west coast mirror sideways on brackets angled to give me a cab view of the winch as it wraps. I position the truck far enough from the object being winched so I can, when the cable reaches the side of the winch drum, release the brakes and let the winch pull my truck...

Very good dissertation, thanks for the reference to it! I always shifted my truck like he describes. Obviously oils like Hytran were not available when the manual I have was written. I believe it would be an excellent choice but have not used it in the truck, so I cannot speak from experience...

Nice that it looks to have a hard top on the cab, not the usual rotted canvas top that let a lot of rain into the interior to ruin gauges, etc. To me, $800 is not bad, I would think well below scrap value, especially if you part it out. I gave that for a cab and long wheel base chassis gas 5 ton...

I used one of these trucks for years for farm grain hauling, pulling a 30 foot trailer, and plowing snow with no transmission problems. When I first got the truck a friend of mine who worked on these in the military that had a transmission shop told me to get the engine oil out of the...

Phone numbers: Memphis Equip. Memphis TN 901-774-0600 Sam Winer Motors, Akron, OH 330-628-4881

I have a military on one of mine but cannot see any tag on it. Memphis Equipment would be my go-to for that first, then maybe Sam Winer Motors.

Have you investigated the cause of the fouling? It may be just valve seals which can be rather easily replaced without removing the head. Valve seal leakage is usually indicated by oil smoke for a short time after starting, then clearing. Have you run a compression/leak-down test to check the...

So can someone tell me how the transfers in the 900 series are different from the ones in the M series 5 tons? W have never, but as one said,---yet, had a problem in hard use in both high and low reverse. I would not like being restricted to high reverse! I have heard though that in high reverse...

We have two J-200 Jeep pickups, 1964, styled like the one in the pictures, now retired. They had the Tornado motor in them. They were sensitive to tuning; keep everything up as it should be and they had very good power, especially with the two barrel carburetor. We used both on the farm, one...

Brake adjustment is a good thing to check, but usually it comes on slowly, not good one day and out the next. I suspect a problem with the valve on the front of the air pack, the one the master cylinder line goes into to trigger the air pack when pedal is applied is not working right, pictured...

Be sure to wash out the axle housing, both diff location and tubes to wheels really well. You do not need any left over particles getting into your replacement gear set.

My suggestion is for him to send you a photo if possible of the VIN number, or trust him to send it to you or give it to you over the phone. Not sure how the VIN plate is made on these but he may be able to lay a piece of paper over it and do the old use the side of the lead on a pencil to rub...

800 series will be much more stable with the duals. Also, you can use low range transfer in any gear you wish. I can't believe the army would accept a truck like the 900 series for a tactical truck that along with its lack of redundancy due to the complexity of electrical systems also has...
