I'm not sure how to remove it but I had a mirror fall off and by a miracle it did not break. It was held on by a clear silicone adhesive. You may be able to pry gently with a non marring tool while heating the face of the mirror with a heat gun.
Here is the new clevis for the winch cable, was able to track down the manufacturer, could not locate one surplus. They are made by Electroline, part number GD-143-N and the plug for the inside is MB-743. The original one I had was quite rusty and I snapped the nut off the cross bolt trying to...
That plate attached is a sponson/mount for a M151 series jeep, it attaches to the jeep fender and the MT-1029 radio mount attaches to it. It's not needed on the M1009 rack as the MT-1029 bolts directly to the mount. It's nice to see he saved the 3 legs, those are usually missing.
Finished bolting the winch on today, thought I would never get it done having to try and track down all of the pieces. The hull seal for the winch input shaft was a real treat, not much room to move around down there. Still on the list is to finish blasting and painting the chain/hook...
Again, each unit had a MTOE, a list of equipment authorized. There was no standard "kit" for any vehicle. The only standard would have been the installation kit for the specific radio for the specific vehicle, there is a TM with this information. It's up to you what radio's you want to...
Looks good, I'll wait to come over when it's finished :mrgreen:. A little more progress today, blasted and primed the second side bracket, compressor crapped but I'm done with it for now. Made up a winch support kit using a hard bottom GI tool kit bag, snatch block just fits along with some...
What radio's were installed all depended on what was authorized to the unit and by the unit commander. At a minimum would have been a VRC-46(RT-524)and one antenna.
Got the first top coat of paint on the mounting tray, finished sand blasting the front bracket and got it primed. Also finished making the remaining 5 shear pins. Still need to finish blasting the second side bracket and the chain/hook. My air compressor is on it's last leg and progress is slow.
I believe it was a multi purpose radio rack and power distribution box, I have one of the racks in my M1010 in place of the passenger side litter rack for my comm. gear.
Near the front racks on each wall were wiring for the GPFU, gas particulate filter system, the switch for them is on the dash next to the side light switches. For 12v I ran another wire into the cab from the 12v junction block on the firewall.
Winch and lower brackets arrived as well as the mounting tray, chain and other brackets. The winch was dated in the early 70's and had a FSN on the data plate, amazing what still lingers new in old warehouses. In the process of blasting and painting the used brackets.
So thanks to UPS losing parts from one of my previous winch parts shipment I was missing the winch side of the pto shaft. I purchased a used one from Arts Parts in MN, the u-joint seals were in tough shape so I took it apart, cleaned and painted it and started looking for a new u-joint. The...
My resistor has a top and bottom connection, the plugs are keyed so the top and bottom can't be exchanged. Left side terminals top to bottom 5.3 ohms, right side top to bottom terminals 1.3 ohms, this is with the wiring connectors off. Went to my parts truck and of course it's missing.
All of a sudden my old reliable 882 won't stay running in the "on" position of the key. It will start and run in the "crank" position but as soon as you release the key to the "run" position it shuts right off. Any help appreciated.
