Continuing story of my B-7 maintenance platform. Bad hydraulic ram. Pumped it up to see if it would lift, leaks out the bottom of the ram. I let the pressure off to save my oil. Looks like I either need to fix the ram or lift the platform and permanently affix in the max position. I'm not going...

Does anyone have knowledge, pictures, etc. of mules used in EOD service? Several years ago there was a picture in the hallway at the EOD school of a solider loading artillery projos on the back of a mule with a hand painted wooden EOD sign on the side. I would like to a build a mule like it...

Thanks friends, got the mule purring like a kitten. Now that I'm retired, I have time to do what I want to do. I'm getting back into the groove of turning wrenches, and working on MVs. The mule I've been working on is a M274A3 that I restored about 15+ years ago. Something that I ran into that...

Mark, over in the Misc. TMs section I found a TM for the B-1 model. With exception of the placement of the jack stands, it looks very much like the B-7. The B-7 jack stands are closer to the back, near the tires. I'll still post some pics later. It appears the hydraulic system is the same. That...

Mark, you have found my weakness! I'm not the most computer savy person you've ever heard of. In fact if it dosen't leak oil, make lots of smoke and noise, or all of the above, I'm not very good with it. Two of my favorites , firearms and Detroit Diesels, fall into that category. Later I'll get...

Anyone know where I can get operators and maintenance manuals for a Lift-A-Loft aircraft maintenance platform? Model # MS-B7-16, Ser. # B7-1015, Delivery date 6/03 Many thanks!

I need to adjust the idle on a mule engine. I can't find my TM for the engine. Found the parts TM, but not the engine instructions. I put on a new carburetor, it's idling waaaaay too fast. I've done it before, but can't remember the details. I searched the forums and the TMs, but no luck. Any...

Is there a forum dedicated to the weasel? In looking through the forums, I can't find them. Am I overlooking them? Thanks! Keith

Thanks for the replies! I'll try those suggestions. On the same note, has anyone tried, or had experience with cornhead grease? One of my grandsons is a diesel and farm equipment mechanic, I'm going to ask him about this as well. The way I understand this grease, it is like normal grease at room...

Does anyone have any ideas on a easier way to tighten the wires on the inside of the dust boots, where they won't leak. I've replaced dozens, maybe hundreds of these, every now and again I'll get a "leaker". That boot that just will not stop leaking. As anyone who has replaced one can attest...

I need soft doors, tan or green. Thanks

What is the NSN number for the HMMWV soft doors? Thanks

I have a HEMMIT cargo truck. We start it about once a week to let it run a while. Last week we started it, it ran a few minutes and it quit and wouldn't start back. It will turn over with either, but not continue to run. I also have a HEMMIT tanker that sat for several months and won't start. I...

Friends, I'm having problems with my CTIS on a 2.5 ton FMTV. The front tires went down while sitting. I aired them up with an air compressor. When I started the truck all the lights flashed. On one wheel air was leaking around one of the connections. When I shut it down the leaking stopped. Do...

Friends, I have a John Deere gator, although it's not a M-Gator I got it from the Army. It's a civilian model with the Yanmar 3 cycl. engine and 12 volt starting system. It starts and idles very smoothly, I ran it 3 hours on Sunday with the outside temp. above 80 degrees. Ran smoothly and didn't...

I'm having problems too,with LMTV's. I don't think anything like these. When I turn on the switch, I get power everywhere. When I push the red button, all I get is a "bump" of the starter. Will not turn over, just bump. Tried to start it yesterday, hooks slave cables to a HMMWV running high...

Thanks, papakb! Where can I find one?

You're right, 86humv, it is a AS-3900. I did some searching on the net and found that the VAS-450 is a UHF antenna. Anyone know where I can find one? OR, could the AS-3900 be modified for UHF? My goal is to find a antenna that can be screwed onto the AS-3900 base. My HMMWV is equipped with the...

I have a Humvee that has the antenna mount, coax, and whip antenna. I don't know much about radios, or this equip., but I do know that the mount does not have the switch underneath to change bands. I assume this antenna is high VHF (?). Is there a way that this antenna and related equip. can be...

Pardon me if I've done wrong, but didn't know where else to turn. I need a battery cap for a AN/PVS-17B. Can some one direct me to the proper place? Thanks!
