That big trailer is a WWII trailer. The data plate describes it as Semi-Trailer, Low-Bed, Front-Loading, 20-ton, built by Jahn. I've tried finding the manual listed, TM 5-9045, without success so far. I believe that trailer was discussed on here in the past, which may be where I got the photo...

The file is huge, so it is slow to open/download off the net. According to my computer's whining about the download, the virus scan on a file that size was the slowdown. The PDF works fine once I got it into the computer. They are big, heavy trailers. Data plate says 7005# empty. Both mine...

Well done, sir! :beer: Cheers

:ditto: In my early days with CUCVs (which always seem to have electrical gremlins), I tended to start with the complex answers to questions, like swapping blackout light switches, etc. Then I figured out the fuse box was the source of many of my problems, the most common being corroded or...

Takes a big man to dine on his crow in public! [thumbzup] Cheers

Frc690 - most of the M35s (and other trucks) I saw surplussed off say 15 years ago had the two-pin slave receptacle on the cab. (My M35A2, M109A3, M185A3, M813, M715s, V100, all have 2-pin), but they were all built before 1984. For a deuce actually built in 1984, then...? Many of the...

I stopped by Tractor Supply the other day in my M931A2. A guy with a tricked out 4x4 pickup pulled up and parked next to me, he got out and said "Just when I thought my truck was the coolest, most capable one around, I see yours! Sheesh, you just look down at my roof!!". He had a big smile...

Mark, that is a really cool setup! I'm picturing something like that on the back of the M1028. Hmm...... Cheers

1971 Cheers

Thanks for doing that, Jim (it took a lOT of time to scan that many pages!). [thumbzup] This is the best parts manual I have seen for the V100. Cheers

Well, maybe you dodged a bullet on that one. If the seller is flaky, the truck likely is too. Remember, there is a reason he decided to sell it after doing all that to it. Could be priorities changed, could be he needs $$, but also could be he messed it up past the point of no return...

That is a cool trailer! I have wanted one since I drooled over them in my son's motor pool on Camp Pendleton. :drool: Cheers

Put Marine Corps Fire Service markings on it and display it as often as possible! That is a really nice truck. I'm usually not into red on trucks, but would definitely make an exception for that one. [thumbzup] Cheers

They appear to be singular, as in sticky. I don't know if that helps in Search, I personally have a devil of a time trying to find stuff on here in Search, though others seem to have the knack for it. The Deuce ones are in the Deuce forum (click the Forum button, go down the list to The...

Acceleration on my M1028 is best measured on a desk calendar.... Cheers

See, THAT is the Mariano I know. There is no way I could have been that generous. Cheers

Agreed. But still kinda cool (once you get over shedding a tear for the hacked collectable ambulance). I'd buy it and fix it up as is, just for a fun truck. And for the rims, those are much sought after! Cheers

Okay, I feel a need to step in here. Sounds like a bad experience, Dao, I would be frustrated too. But -I know Mariano personally, and I can assure you he is an honest individual, not shady by any means. I bought a military truck from him a while back, and later had a problem with it. He...

All the ones I have seen, including the two I have and one my neighbour has, are factory painted with green 34094 (from the 383 camo scheme). That said, there were lots of "local theater schemes" applied to them as needed. Cheers PS - sorry, missed the M1 part of the designation, my bikes are...

Tire pressure marking on the fender. The Marines usually mark their trucks "xx PSI" while all the other services usually mark "TP xx". I have seen some Marine vehicles lately with TP markings, and one that was marked "TP xx PSI"! Cheers
