He's an absolute "gem". Best thing about him from my perspective (other than his vast knowledge and supply of parts) is that he is only an hour or so down the road, and that he will take my phone calls on nights and weekends when...
Hmmm, perhaps my photo request wasn't as clear as I thought...
I was thinking about doing this tpe of instalation on my XM813 (mounting the heater on the driver's side) since I have seen a few trucks setup this way and since you mentioned it was the setup you had. I was asking for photos of...
Ray was charging $560 an axle but had a price increase August 1, 2008 of I think $60. You had to ship the hubs either to him or his East Coast contractor at your cost, shipment back to you along with the rest of the kit was included in his price.
Currently, the only items that do not ship in...
Years ago I acquired a stock in tank filter unit from John Bizal at Midwest Military... I never used it (it's on a shelf somewhere in the shop). Instead, I have a fine mesh brass screen over the end of a straight pickup tube in the tank. A very nice pair of spin on filters is mounted on the...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: No more $50.00 starting bids for Demil B
I was over at one of the yards last week picking up a truck and noticed an entire load of stuff (filled a 900 series cargo truck with a trailer) headed accross the scales and then on over to the shred bins. I had gotten a good look...
Yep, the fenders that Nick has on his mule are the same as the ones that were installed on my A5 when it was rebuilt as a "high mobility" Mule at Ft. Campbell in the early eighties. The mule got wide terra tires, fenders (to keep the tires covered), and electric start using an alternator and...
It's a great looking truck that somebody needs to snag...
I've got photos of several of them on my website, including some production info, etc...
We had one from WV show up at the Southern Power Wagon/NCMVPA Spring Gathering in the Uwharrie National Forest OHV area this past April, but it...
Check with Joe Trapp there n Blythewood... He's selling off his inventory and may have some troop seats on his parts trucks still, and you likely could snag an axle vent off a parts rig as well...
I suspect that most of the dealers have the vents but don't list them, most have more stuff than...
Since you bring it up... I'm in the market for one as well... I've got the heater (pulled it from a gasser five ton), but need that mounting shelf in order to install it in my XM813. So, if anyone knows of one for Armada and one for me... :)
Neil,
I enjoyed the day in Troutman. I also truly appreciated having you mind my backdoor as I was hauling Brandon's "new" ride up the hill...
Not sure if I can make this one, but I'm going to try...
This was sent to the NCMVPA the other day and I thought that I would post it here for folks interested in another display opportunity in Western North Carolina... :)
"The 1st Annual Saluda Fire and Rescue Car Show will be Saturday, August 30th,
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Car Show will be...
Hmm, I got a M817 out of Columbus and never heard nor saw anything about that accessory...
Must be that snazzy paint job on the tipper (either that, or Oilcan is holding out on me... ).
Seriously, it's a really sharp looking truck.
Seriously #2, Gimp, AMGeneral, Oilcan, and Oilcan's mom and...
I don't fill the entire hub, lots of extra weight and expense and you will still get water/oil in if it gets past the seals... I do, however, take and smear a light coat of grease on the entire inside surface of the hub as a rust preventative...
I have photos of both of my M101's on my website including shots of the weight and dimension dataplates that may be used to see the width, etc...
73.5" is what is given for the outside to outside measurment for the width of the body, total length with drawbar down is 147", length with drawbar...
Yep, Ray has a deal with a guy in either SC or GA (can't remember which) who is doing the hub machine work and rotor bracket assembly for him so that you don't have to ship your cores to OR. You still order from Ray and he sends you the shipping and payment info depending on your home IP code...
