When driving on pavement, free up the rear bogie and reduce tire scrubbing significantly...also a singled out deuce will mark up the asphalt less while reducing the turning circle.

Lots of hits on google... Oshkosh M-ATV MRAP All Terrain Vehicle

Elsewhere in the same TM...if you had the actual cable, I'm sure it would make sense.

Noticed some traffic and added a few more articles. The PS notes may not be as detailed as the TMs, but sometimes the little things are interesting, like this shelter "air conditioning"...

Patrick, does your new filter have the "water separator" feature? The original had a drain at the bottom for this if I'm not mistaken. Micron rating should be about 5 or so. The tank has baffles within and it would be hard to inspect 100%. How is the inside top of the tank? If you filled it to...

Right Jim, but the trucks get around, of course...and I'm talking vintage, ca 1972. :-) Thanks Brutus, I'm aware of Rick Larsen's stuff. The "Good driver" decal includes a no smoking (while driving), but no direct reference to the batteries...

I'm starting another album... Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite

Good to see it fixed Patrick. I'm always concerned about hard particles from rust etc in the fuel tank, since there are several components on the multifuel IP/FDC that can be harmed by them getting past the filters. I have installed a magnetic fuel filter (homemade) in the line to help stop the...

Welcome to the site! Check out the PS magazine section on the old site for lots of info on your new acquisition. Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite

Does any of you have examples of signs or decals on any vehicle related to smoking and the charging of lead acid batteries? As you know, these batteries may expel hydrogen gas when overcharged and cigarettes or open fires may present a hazard. Example of commercial caution plate in image below.

Welcome to the site and thanks for posting the images! Looks like a Colorado license plate there...

You may want to post it in the "wanted" section of the classifieds, before this drops out of sight with so many new posts every day...

Welcome to the site! Well done homework on the injection pump. How much did you have to turn the crankshaft to make the HD drop in? After removing it, nothing should have been moved and it should really have gone back in without a problem. Before making any adjustments, check the timing...

Feeling like a bear just out of hibernation? Me too. :-) Here is the original thread on this beauty (it's powered by a Detroit Diesel, btw): http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/45682-5-ton-hmtt-home.html

Great find! Even a circulation pump and the oilpan shroud.

Randy, I agree with you to a point, a cover should be there to keep out the elements, but there must be ventilation. I keep a small tarp on top of it (image below) when the truck is just sitting.

The no cover thing goes back to 1968... at least.. Go to the PS mag section for lots of winch info.

Kurt, it's the 260-20 TM July 1972...

Isn't it covered here?
