Has anyone with a Deuce or 5 ton cut down a bench seat to make it into a small jump seat for the middle of the cab? I am planning to put in 2 springer seats and build a center console for my M813A1, but I would like to have the option for the 3rd person. I have a bunch of standard bench seats...
I am looking for actual photos of the installation of the Sprag cut off switch that goes on the lines between the transmission and transfer case on an M39/M809 series 5 ton. I have read through almost all of the threads and have not seen any photos of how it is plumbed or seen the MWO that...
Check the switch on the foot pedal for the Jake. That was the culprit for erratic operation on ours. Sometimes the Jakes would only kick in after standing on the pedal for a few seconds, sometimes they wouldn't work at all. New switch solved it.
Here is a photo with a military added slaveport. Owner said he acquired it with a fuel fired heater, hardtop and found out it was used as an Arctic Test Vehicle.
Nice truck, is that an A2? What is the top speed you are able to achieve? I have heard they are not able to keep pace with an M915 w/ the 16 speed Cat.
Are you going to be towing anything with your tractor? The standard 1400s on M931A1/A2s already raise the 5th wheel height up quite high, 1600s are even worse.
How does the air bags under the cab interact with the butterfly hood? I was under the impression that when the cab bounced around on air ride, the fixed mounted hood would bang against the cowl damaging the hood and the front of the cab.
Any photos of how you added air ride? Will make things a lot better when driving to shows as far away as 1000 miles. I do not have any photos now but will post later
Was thinking about this the other day, when was the Air-shift transfer case and air-assist power steering introduced? I am going to guess the T case came first and was more widely adopted then the power steering.
Thanks
