    Starting camper build tomorrow

    It is. Looked like 16ga steel sheets. The owner wants it to rust up a bit and then will treat and preserve the surface. If you look closely you will see the sheets are cut up to look like mountains. The box was made from 1x2 steel tubing. Had foam sheet insulation. And the siding had at ti...

    Geared hub in progress.

    My thought to the low torque value is tha due to the diameter of the nut and the thread count, is clamping force is higher with less torque.

    Geared hub in progress.

    The shims set the gear lash from one of the hub gears to the 4 spider like gears. There is the PM way to do it, and then there is Steve 6x6x6 way to do it. Both ways need special type tools. Proper set up is key to long lasting and quiet hubs. The spindle nut is only 20 ft/lb of torque. 400...

    Commercial use of FMTV M1088 Tractor?

    Less than a truck load. ltl, or hotshot is commonly lighter loads often dually pickups towing large trailers grossing around 33k. Often the scraps larger trucks wont deal with.

    Geared hub in progress.

    Well I know my rubber lines filled up with oil when the seal failed, my frame is well lubercated where the ctis vents. I would cap the lines to prevent losing oil out of them. Personally I would like to get the higher pressure ctis controller if I could find one that didn't cost so much.

    Geared hub in progress.

    I guess as long as the air lines are sealaled all should be good to go. I'll likely remove my ctis as well to run higher psi in the tires.

    Geared hub in progress.

    Don't forget to seal up the hole in spindle, or you will find oil in more in wanted places.

    What was your experience with shipping a LMTV

    Talk to the shipper, and ensure they know the condition of the truck. Mine didn't run, they still showed up with the wrong trailer type, gp rep got it moving and on the trailer, had issues getting it off the trailer as it still didn't run and brakes were not caged. Was a bit of a hassle, but...

    Geared hub in progress.

    Here is a photo for reference of that seal not installed, the only seals my hub had that were retained were the ctis seals into the hub, I hope I'm not missing parts lol.. I want to say I used either red amsoil or the hd Lucas equipment blue green grease on my inner bearing. Easy enough to...

    Geared hub in progress.

    I do believe the grease seal on very inboard side should have been installed into the hub and not stuck to the spindle. Mainly to prevent damage while installing the hub. But if it works, it works. Good job on your repair!!!

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Well here's the deal. I'm going to do the center section swap when the weather gets better. With the front end on jack stands and drive shaft disconnected wheels and drums off. I will pop the cover off one side and put the cutout cover back on. And tape a degreed circle to the drive shaft...

    Geared hub in progress.

    Perfect use for the old cap. I imagine without the trust washer, the hub must have been making some noise, with the gear lash being so out on one end. Nice looking combat rims, are you not going to run the ctis?
