    Hauling a m274 in Tacoma pickup bed

    From my recollection, it will fit in an 8' bed with the foot basket over hanging. They will also fit in the bed of an M105 trailer which is 9' but the basket sticks out just a little. The cover will cover it. I know these aren't accurate measurements, just experiences I've had with them...

    Winch problem on a fire dept M54A2 5ton

    If the dog clutch did become disengaged, I would give it a whirl with any number of pry tools to get the chain out. Maybe a spud bar or a halligan tool or the like. The person you should listen to closest is not me though. Gringeltaube is absolute best resource.

    2 wheel vs 4 wheel steering

    I know there are plenty of folks here with mules and I'm sure they will be along shortly. I've only ever operated 2 wheel steers and they didn't seem bad. Question is, what will be the purpose of yours? Are there really tight corners where you plan on operating the machine? I think use...

    Hauling a m274 in Tacoma pickup bed

    118" is the total length of the deck according to TM 43-0001-31. It looks like your bed is roughly half the length of the mule itself. If you are able to get the front tires on the tailgate, can it handle the weight going down the road?

    Gaz-704 Trailer Recovery

    I've flipped them over and put them on the bed using lumber across the bed. Loading isn't a one person job though.

    84 1008 build.

    Here is another spin on that. If you're buying the lifetime guarantee parts from the parts house, you are guaranteed a lifetime full of replacing them over and over.

    just took in a m101a1

    Pinout on the mil plug is standard however some have additional pins such as the ones on the deck of a tractor. Still, these are okay to use.

    just took in a m101a1

    It's not uncommon to find 12V bulbs swapped into the 101 trailers as quite a few ended up behind CUCVs.

    The adapter was a brilliant move! Bravo!

    Scepter Jerry Can Gravity Feed Adapters

    Looks like I have 2. Dusty but unmolested. I'll sell the pair for $50 shipped CONUS.

    Scepter Jerry Can Gravity Feed Adapters

    The project took a turn in a different direction. I think I still have 2. I hope they made it up here from FL. I'll take a stroll to see what I see.

    Are Goodyear MTs ever actually round?

    Does truing still exist? We used to take out tires to a dealer in OH and they chucked them up on a truing machine and trimmed some of the tread to make them round. Worked fairly decent for 80s tech

    Plowing Hey, that works!

    I just bought a 1985 Dually

    Physically, yes they will fit. You will have to run a spacer between the inner and outer wheel to gain space between the tires.

    Can you identify this part?

    Think a roll of toilet paper would fit with the extra pin out? That would be awesome in the toilet area of an S280 camper. Yeah, weird mind.

    57 Continental R6602 Recommended Fuel Octane

    Octane ratings are minimum I believe. As long as minimum is met, it should be good.

    Q78x16 tires are 36" tall and would likely fit on stock dually rims.

    There are windshield hold down latches on the hood. Use the drivers side latch to secure the hood open.

    Getting 12v from 24v

    The GPs are 12V. The resistor block steps in down. A common mod is to run the GPs off the front battery.
