If you use a rollbar, don't forget some seat belts! I rolled my mule in 1997, ran over a stump hidden in the weeds. I fell out, guess what crushed my left tibia in six pieces, the roll bar! Off work for 7 months, in the bed with external fixator on my leg for 9 weeks, 3 months physical...

Nick is right. The mule upgrade starter was a Prestolite. It also required the use of a starter solenoid, voltage regulator, and alternator. All MOPAR, same as M880 trucks. The wide wheels and tires were same as used on some trenching machines. Fenders were added for the use of wide tires. The...

Welcome and Merry Christmas from Parsons, TN.

It sure is! I see it now! I've been around airborne all my life, just never saw this set-up. Thanks! I'll use this to amaze my "gearhead" friends.

You're right, they would. I'll try to get some.

I recently saw a CAT D5 that belong to 101ABN. It was equipped with a bulldozer blade with winch on the rear. Besides these "standard" attachments, it also had a large box on top the winch made from expanded metal. The box was about 4ft. X 3 ft. X 3ft., open at the top with some aluminum beams...

I've replaced hundreds of dust boots, but always looking for something new. No matter how good you think you've installed one, they always seem to pop off the back. There is no subitute for good lubrication, or installing new parts. I've got to replace one boot that has split, that's a "no...

Greetings friends, I heard that John Deere had a grease that they recommended for old, leaky gear boxes. It is thick when put in but quickly liquefies when the gears are moving. I suppose all greases do this somewhat, but this is supposed to be something special. I plan to use it in the...

On the following truck,M930, would the ID number be considered the same as the VIN. In which number would you find the year of manf.? I figure it's late 80's or early 90's, but there is no delivery date stamped on data plate. ID# C530-00045 DTID W312PY32970015 Reg# 2YTJEV33048742

NDT, Thank you sir!

So, if I'm understanding this correctly. The M916 will pull the M747 or the M1000 without modifcation to the stock fifth wheel. It will not pull a civilian trailer with out mod to the fifth wheel and pin. I've heard talk about a reverable pin. Does the M172A1 M870/A1 have a reversable pin. When...

I understand that the military has two sizes of fifth wheel king pins. One is large for GI trailers and the other is small for civilian type trailers. How can I tell from data plates or stock numbers which is which on trucks and trailers? Is there a way without going and actually measureing the...

House moving?! I have a cousin in the house moving business. He also moves other heavy and wide things. I haven't talked to him about the possibilty, but looks to me like it would perfect. A little too big and fancy for a logging pull out truck.

Are you east of Dover? I grew up between Big Rock and Indian Mound. We will be getting the other one from Campbell. I've got lots of relatives around. But, the offer of help is very kind. You never know when you need to call in a marker! I need to learn how to unhook the system. You never know...

Need to know the weight of a warehouse crane. Don't have the NSN# in front of me . But it is 7ft. wide. and the boom lift at 15% elevation is 17,000lbs. Four wheel with small cab. That's all I can remember off the top of my head. I'll try to get the NSN later. Thanks!

Well, we did it! The instruction placard was inside the rear door, just where y'all said it would be. A bit confusing but the first four or five got us started. The rest we just kinda figured out. The small wrench was there to unlock the four bolts on the sides. The wrench to crank out the...

Where can I find a video, on line, that shows how to expand it? Or other good instructions? I haven't had time to get a TM, can I down load one on SS? How much gen set do I need to run it? Will a 5 KW work? Many thanks, in advance!

Brought home a HMMWV on Monday. Unloaded and drove it to town, about 10 miles. While unloading it, I started it 4 or 5 times, no problems. When I drove it to town, I stopped it for about 30min. and it would not start. I couldn't figure it out. I'm kinda new to these vehicles, so I called a...

No headlights on my HMMWV. Replaced 3-lever light switch with new one. The old one was broken even before I knew the headlights didn't work. All other lights work. All connections look good. Found this out late in the day and have not had time to check hot wires or grounds. Also haven't had time...

What county is Hixson in? If your mule is a A5, it could be anywhere from a 68 to a 70. Mine is a Bafield 1968.
