Nope

If anyone here has one, I'd like to buy it, borrow it, or simply have you look up some info in it. Trying to wrap up a book project. Thanks for any help. Regards, David Doyle

The manual gives a pretty detailed procedure, and IIRC it is downloadable from this site. If its not, drop me a note and I'll email you scans of the pertinent pages. Nice looking M55A2, BTW. Regards, David Doyle

The 530C manuals are the TM5-4210-217 series The 530B Ward LaFrance on M45A2 chassis (dual rear wheels and Multifuel is TM5-4210-213 series. The 530B Fire Trucks Incorporated (Multifuel LD-465 and M44A2 chassis) with rear tool box manuals are TM5-4210-212 series The 530B Ward LaFrance...

It is rare that I would speak harshly to my fellow SS members - but do any of you actually know any of the MVPA board members, or personally approached them about a hobby matter? I am on a first name basis with more than half of them (on both sides of the club's internal politics - despite...

Rory's armored car looks rather like an armored version of this, doesn't it? I'll see if I can find a better match, the more info you can give (specs, dated components) the better info we can get.

RE: Re: RE: M135/211 trans? The shift hard is by design. It reduces tranny maintenance.

Not to hijack Peter's excellent thread, but if Rory can provide more info about the "dog" - I'll see what I can find out about it. Regards, David

Yep, I'll dig up the number. Contrary to much of what was widely reported, there was more than one production facility involved in the A3 program. The most widely known of these is of course AM General's South Bend facility. However, competitive bids were also recieved from an Army facility...

Also, when you pulled the pump was there any debris in the screen? The pump is magnetically coupled, so this should not be a factor, but it wouldn't hurt to be sure. Has any part of the truck been rewired? Is any part of the wiring harness damaged? If the size of conductor is reduced, the...

I get to go by the Memphis branch of Memphis Equipment on a very regular basis. I've not seen any of this stuff there. Also, Memphis does not normally pursue trailers, and I think 8500 does. I've never been to Clark, so can't say anything there. As for 8500 being a shill - I look at every...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Greeting from Denmark :-) Greetings Peter! Welcome to the group. Aside from the problems transporting armor, in this country for several years we can no longer bring home armored vehicles made here. That is, we can buy a Chieftain (or if they were available, a Leopard)...

For CMV, try http://www.cmvmag.co.uk/cgi-bin/purchase.cgi?s=bi&i=077407CMV For Fire Apparatus Journal, try http://fireapparatusjournal.com/back_issues.html Sorry, don't remember what issue of FAJ the article was in, can look when I get home. DD

I've done articles on these for Military Vehicles Magazine, Classic Military Vehicles, and Fire Apparatus Journal. Back issues with these should be available. They are heavily illustrated. Another recent thread on this forum includes a lot of info and photos, it should be easily found. I'm...

Two through five are synchronized.

I am pretty sure that this is covered in my "Standard Catalog of US Military Vehicles, second edition". I'm on the road at the moment and don't have one with me - but someone else in the group could probably look it up for you in the G-744 section of the book. HTH, David Doyle

RE: Where Bill, Give Dennis Spence at Portrayal Press a call. These may not be on his website or in his catalog - but he does have many manuals in stock that aren't. HTH, David

Eric, The powerplant is a Continental R6602. I have one in a M62, and my dad has one in another 30000 lb+ truck. We get a touch over 2 MPG in rolling hills. It screams to do 52 MPH, and hills kill the speed. That being said, I deliberately sat out to buy a M62 powered by the R6602. Though...

Not a bolster trailer, but I wonder if one would fit on a M200 - which seem to be abundant and inexpensive? DD

Off the top of my head, during WWII the following truck-tractors were made: 1 1/2 ton Chevy 5 ton GMC CCW (looks like a CCKW, but non-driven front axle, and on-road use only, hence 5 ton rating) a tractor variant of the Studebaker US6 a tractor variant of the International M5H6 White 444T 4x4...
