That sounds more modern than any of ours. They're all WWII or older. 50/60 cycles, waterproof plugs and 24 volts with a slave receptacle sounds like mid '50s or later GI. The water cooled engine seems to indicate no later than the early '60s. The Army went to nearly all air cooled for it's...

Hey Eric, what key blank does that brake drum need? As soon as it looks like we'll get a dry road day wothou lake effect snow, I'm launching to get the 3.5 ton trailer at Fort Drum. I'll give you as much notice as I can. Lance

As emmado said, it should be pretty painless. Your options change a little based on the vehicle's age. If it's 25 years old, you can register it for a fraction of the "commercial" cost , as an "antique" Unlike some other states, NY dosen't put a lot or restrictions on antiques. As long as...

As far as towing, the "book" answer, from the operator's manual, is that the M1008 is capable of towing a 3,000 pound M101 trailer. It dosen't really list it as a "maximum" towing capacity. Obviously, it can tow a lot more but the -10 is referring to military trailers that a unit would have in...

If it's only three foot long it's too short to be a jeep engine. Hobart, Delcolite and others used small 4 cylinder water cooled engines, such as the Hercules XPDs etc. When you get pics, get the control panel, load center, and the alternator/generator side views. More pics are better than...

Those tiedowns are pretty darn strong. A full pallet of .50 Cal. ammo or .45 Ball is right around 4,000 pounds and we used to secure them with two ratchet straps laced diagonally over the top and laced through the steel banding. That, combined with 4x4 blocking to keep them from sliding...

The colors are OK in a lighted room but with dim light or a dark room and my laptop they really strain the eyes. After just a few minutes I can literally feel the eyestrain. Adjusting the screen brightness dosen't help.

The glow plugs will cycle on and off until the engine warms up a bit. If you watch the ammeter/voltmeter you'll see the charging indicating needle drop when the glow plugs energize and the engine will load up a bit. The process is often accompanied by screeching belts, if the belts are at all...

Typically a vehicle, or any other piece of property, is "TIed" for turn in. If it is going to disposal, nothing gets fixed that won't keep it from getting to the turn in site. This type of "TI" is often intended to sort out the least cost effective items to keep vrs the one to get rid of...

Any chance of lightening up the background? It sure makes it harder on the eyes.

Somebody's been drinking the bong water.

Just because the meter drops does not mean all or even most of the glow plugs are working. It is still worthwhile to do a resistance check. For my M1008, I replaced them with Wellman 070s bought from INDUSA on Epay. About $67 including the shipping. I wanted a known base line for the age of...

RE: WMO filter setup idea Can you get the name of the outfit they got it from or the manufacturer? That might be a big help in reverse engineering it. It looks like a very promising start point. Thanks for the pics. Lance EDIT: Any idea what the operating pressure is?

It's nice to see that they're being saved. It'd be nicer, though, if they were saved here.

The electric grooving ans siping tool is less than $70 on Epay, so it's not a "deal breaker" The blocks on the XLs are pretty hefty and I'm not too worried about chunking. If this project happens at all, it is a ways down the road. I'll wait to see if someone with experience in doing this, who...

One of my deuces has singled 11.00R20 XLs on it and it's M105A2 trailer. The hubs are flipped. Since the truck does get use on snowy and icy roads and off road on the farm and in the woodlots, I am thinking of grooving and siping them. Any thoughts? How deep of a groove? One groove and two...

I'd start by contacting the law enforcement agency that overs the installation and filing a complaint. If they'll take the complaint, that will add some serious teeth to the complaint.

Are they local to you, or do they need shipped to you? Someone else may be closer to them? Lance

Thanks, that's great food for thought. One of my deuces has 11.00R20s. Do you know if they stand at the same height as the NDTs? Lance

Thanks, Ive got 11.00R20 XLs on one of my deuces and M105s and am thinking this is worth doing due to all the snow we get for almost half the year.
