Wonderful! So, is this the indicator light for it?

Hey Leonard, don't need another project. :-) My 8x8 to-do list has close to 100 items on it at the moment, little stuff, but still. My current MV budget is almost non-existent and the 6x6 needs a lot of maintenance also...

Nice setup, BC...

The front tires must be a huge limitation here. Don't know the weight distribution on a halftrack, but the deuce has as much load on the front as on the rear bogie when empty...kind of like swimming an empty cargo truck (m656).

Hmmm... it's the 260-20 manual, should be Cummins...naturally aspirated NHC250. The manual is dated 1972. Does this image agree with your fuel system? The second image shows the "T" you mentioned.

Brad, it's great that you were able to repeat the rehabilitation process successfully. How did you end up sealing the holes drilled in the caps? I would also recommend that you smear some bearing grease in the exposed spaces (where a seal is shown in the manuals). Nice progress on the shop.

I take it you have these from the TM, then. Note that the fuel pump is the same for the coolant heater, since only one is to be used at a time and located in the battery compartment..

Thanks for that info, NMC! Examples of the "OZ" marking below. My Goodyear tires on this truck are 30 years old (datecode "080", 8th week of 1980) and show very little ozone cracking.

Perhaps you can answer a question for me; I understand that the "OZ" marking on rubber items indicates that they are ozone resistant, is this an expensive ingredient and does the military require more of it than would be found in a similar civilian application? I visited a tire recapping plant...

Also lost in the original thread...Midgetman Missile Launcher As explained by NMC_EXP: I worked in R&D at Caterpillar for 30 yrs. We developed and fielded the rubber tracks used on the Challenger Ag tractors and combines. Back in the mid 80"s CAT put rubber tracks on 5 ton trucks and cargo...

For some reason doghead decided to delete the original thread started by panzerjunky this morning. Anyway, I'll start it over with a note I wanted to add (along with the images that were rather interesting). The add-on track goes back to a 1955 TM, the TM 9-1870-1.

"Front to rear, left to right" . :-)

Had many a ride in the C-141...never landed in one though. :-) One flew over (near) our house two days ago. We are at 3,000 ft elevation and had almost a side view of it as it flew by. Sorry, no pictures....may have been the C17...

These diagrams should help in your troubleshooting. The spark plug is grounded via the shielding of the plug/wire harness and can be checked by holding it in the air. The gap should be 1/10 of an inch. Wire #55 supplies power to both the pump and the igniter unit. When turned on, the igniter...

The flame heater can be tested in the open as shown below. The spark plug produces a "continuous" spark as long as the switch is held in the "on" position. The driver is a vibrator type, relying on capacitor, a coil and a relay for proper operation.

The military solid state flasher unit is basically a power transistor driven by an oscillator and will work for any load, it's not "thermo electric", which would depend on the load current to operate. The particular flasher that I dissected had no overload protection, which is one reason I...

You can always use this method, cost me about $17/assy several years ago and good for 10 to 30 volts. LEDs are very directional and improving the reflectivity of the inside of the case won't help...good for incandescents though.

Good reference, Thanks for posting!

Since first suggested by Tom Bauer, I have been using DOT approved airbrake tubing (black witch nylon liner) available at your local NAPA. Comes in all standard sizes. Get the brass inserts and ferrules from them also...
