Army had these 6x4 Paystar dumps back in the 70s. 400 Cummins with Allison. Maybe you can find one that isn’t trashed.

Mine has the arctic kit heater control there.

917s are going on 45 years old and never got overhauled. The Cat transmission cannot be relied upon. As far as high cy dump trucks, there are no real military options for something that doesn’t need a huge amount of upgrades and overhaul.

I love our hometown oil field equipment company, but S&S was lucky to design all 4 wheels the same size on these trucks

Is your transfer shifted to HL or is the linkage adjusted wrong. HL on hard surfaces makes for squirrely handling in curves.

My comment is directed to post # 21. I have no advice for you since you say reblasting is not an option.

That has to be the worst advice I have ever heard, to purposely let a freshly blasted white metal surface get rained on. In my world, rained on blasted surfaces get re-blasted so the expensive paint is adhering to the anchor profile, not crappy ospho.

Put two group 31s in it. You will burn up ECMs and who knows what trying to slave start it.

Holy cow, I have seen hoarders before but none with 100,000 square foot insulated metal buildings for the collection. Nothing special about anything there other than the WWII Dodges. Scrap man will be hauling for days.

Jerrycan of water goes everywhere with me.

You have a garden variety '42 Ford that never left the United States. All the aftermarket add ons are JC Whitney items available back in the day. Solid restoration candidate. Tires, wheels, rear panel, windshield, engine overhaul, T84 transmission, brakes, wiring, seating ... you will have...

Not sure what voice you heard there. Make sure the light switch is in service drive for stoplights etc.

Wow $3000 for 8 hours work, I am in the wrong business

I would double check the pressure with a known good gauge.

The unloader on the firewall makes a resounding clunk when it operates. It should not unload until full pressure is obtained.

The RIM nuts are locking. If the LUG nut won’t spin on easy I would wire brush the stud and put a drop of oil on the threads. Only discard if the threads are buggered.

Ouch 30k must be full of goodies. Empty they are 8k. I drug my 40’ empty across my grass pasture empty and caused no ruts or damage.

First the WWII and Korea era PE-95s dried up, then the Vietnam era MEP-17s and 18s dried up, then the 1980s MEP-002s and 003s dried up. It is a lifecycle thing.

Landoll requires the tractor to have a wet kit

What is your wait to start light doing? Before cranking, is your voltmeter dipping down into the red, indicating that the 100 amp load of 8 glow plugs has been applied to the batteries? If you have no light and no dipping, you have no glow and no starting. Need to diagnose the “smart start...
