Looks like two sensors wired in series...

This diagram will help see how the starter is supposed to work. The starter relay is not shown and the push button in the diagram takes its place (it's assumed to function properly, of course). When you push the start button, the pull-in coil is energized engaging the pinion gear and also turns...

What about these little guys? In perfect condition?

Excellent job booger! Very professional looking result. As far as wide tires for a float action, the xm757 did good on level ground, tires at 10psi and the track is 16" wide. Images show tracks in about 8 inches of snow. Even made it up the 12% incline without slipping, but conditions must be...

Mostly restoration work.

Well, it's because so much has been covered in the past and the OP usually just gets a link these days. Personally, I rather see the material covered again and again since new posters will add new info and that's what makes a forum a forum.

The IP governor and related parts are lubed by crankcase oil and the fuel would not normally come in contact with any of the parts. Veggie oil may possibly cause stickiness of the HD components if it's cold enough...

Chris, the shunt is a low ohm resistor used to measure current indirectly by monitoring the voltage drop across it. If you are not interested in the current, it can safely be bypassed or removed. Typical voltage drop is 25 or 50 mV and won't have any effect on the electrical systems on the vehicle.

As I have previously suggested, do install a switch between the new light switch and supply voltage, it is an electronic device and should (must?) not be connected to power when cranking the engine.

To clarify, the movement of the linkage discussed above is the end result of the governor/foot pedal operation and yes it must move freely. The "gas" pedal position is balanced by the governor action and determines the rpm. The linkage transmits the action to the fuel control block inside the...

The '69 xm757 came with front and rear shocks from factory. I'll see about a part number... Edit: Military part number only, 11601499 made by MAECO (Monroe?)

The buzzer (and warning light) is operated by the low air pressure switch. If the switch isn't working neither will work. The switch air supply is at a dead end of the air circuit and water may accumulate, which will freeze under the right circumstances. An alcohol vaporizer would probably help.

IMHO, in line with the heater core will reduce the flow to the heater and impair its function. I would plumb it as a parallel loop to the heater and possibly have a shut-off valve to select either the filter or the heater.

FWIW, here are the PS mag instructions....

Here is another, relatively compact crane, anybody know anything about it? Used on the M113 APC it appears...

Excellent, excellent photos, best I have seen by far, so taken about twenty years ago?

More images.

Guys, there is no single thread for the cranetruck, I almost always start a new one when a subject comes up, here is a typical upon the arrival in Eureka, Nevada;http://www.steelsoldiers.com/military-vehicle-road-trips/6674-3-2-1-eureka.html#post57448 Gimp, most of the instrumentation that was...

HIAB is actually Swedish and I don't think this is a HIAB crane, since it's not a "knuckle" boom.

Thanks Tom, although some of the projects have long since been removed.
