Kenny, Congrats. Your hard work is coming to fruition. It has been interesting, informative, and fun to follow the progress with your daily updates and pictures. Great Job!!! and thanks for sharing. Now, . . . does this mean that we can start calling you "Recovry6x6" ? :)

Ok, just added 3 more manuals to the library for the 5-ton (These are for Gassers only!!). TM 9-8028 TM 9-2805-203-35 TM 9-2805-203-34P Availability pending approval by Mike :wink:

Howards I would like to join you if this happens. I am up near cincinnati. . . . looks like about a three and a half hour journey from here. (I was trying to meet up (for a trip to Howard's) with Desert Rat when he still resided "up this here way", . . . but I could never get my schedule...

Super Singles I have recently submitted several 5-ton manuals to the Tech Manuals library here. I have several more that I plan to put up. Let me see if I can find the one you've mentioned.

I know we have a cross reference for filters somewhere, but I wasn't sure where to put this. I just had the need to replace the battery terminal clamps. I went to good ol' convenient NAPA, and found a nice replacement. Part numbers are 728223 and 728222. One is positive and the other...

Jed, Glad to help. . . . now, shouldn't you be out there preping your engine compartment?!?!. :) Stop playing on the internet, and get that motor put in !!!! :wink:

Ahhhh, . . . finally, a question I can answer. :) The 6453 was used in the -A1 M39 Series 5-tons. The M39 series is also known as the G744 series, and includes such trucks as the M51 Dump (like mine), M52 Tractor, M54/M55 Cargo, M62/M543 Wrecker, etc. The -A1 was a MACK diesel (ENDT-673)...

BTW, in case you missed it - cgarbee recently had posted a similar opportunity for parts. Look here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3965&highlight=

Hey gang, I don't know for sure what is left, if anything at all. Everything was supposed to be gone before January 1. I've been told by another SS member that the scrap guy's phone number has been disconnected. I can try to get an update on Monday Morning.

WOOOO-BOY!! Lookie at all those 5-tons. :jumpin:

Take a look at the pics below. One has filter on driver side, one on passenger side. Courtesy of: http://www.m201.de/armytrucks/armytrucks.html(Btw - great ref site, lots of pics :D) First pic below is likely what you've spotted: Older series 5-ton - m39 series or G744 series ("-A2" LDS 465...

ah ha! That's it. Thanks Bjorn. Now, . . . who needs one?

Sorry guys, I haven't made it back there since Monday, and I'm afraid I'm out of free time to make another trip. As of Monday, there was one or two partial deuces, and maybe five M37s. PM me if you want the contact info. Maybe you can work out something directly.

Alright, next item up for grabs - I’m probably showing my ignorance here, but I think it looks like maybe an antenna mount for an M151 (mutt) ? Anyone know what it’s for, or need one cheap?

Geezzzz, with all of the sharp minds in here, I thought someone would have figured these out by now. Ok, someone will recognize that air pak thing for sure soon. On the cable, I have some better pics below. From the data tag: BARLOW ELECTRIC PRODUCTS ??NTI??DON VALLEY, PA MODEL AL ?605...

I picked up a couple of loose items in the junkyard that I thought might be useful to someone. 1. SKCA (Some kinda' cable assembly :wink: ). At first glance, I thought it was the slave cable for jump starting, but the connector is too big/different. Also, it has one male/one female ends. I...

Had some limited success today. BIG THANKS to Todd Haley for helping me drag stuff out of the yard through some really nasty mud. -Trango - check your voice mail. -Wallew - really sorry, no salvageable fuel tanks -hndrsonj - got two sets of winch mounting brackets. I'll send you a pic...

I'm pretty sure he is refering to "Gravelrama". www.gravelrama.com Right, Kenny?

just have to vent about something else. . . You wanna' know something else that really got under my skin about this place? There was NOT ONE GOOD PIECE OF GLASS in the whole lot! Not a window, windshield, mirror, headlight, nuthin' - every single one was broken. I bet they weren't that...
