TM9-8031-2 is what I think you are looking for. It's too large to transfer via SS. You can download it for free at: http://jeepwillysworld.com . Just type in TM 9-8031-2 in the search box.

I absolutely wouldn't replace that starter. The starter didn't burn out, it simply got flooded and dirty. Take it to a reputable starter repair shop. They should be able to make it look and perform like new. If you don't have a local shop that can do the work, send me a PM and I'll send you...

I burned off the rubbery/plastic coating on an M35A2 battery bracket in a fire. I tried sand blasting, but that didn't work so I went to fire. It burned off really well, but left crispy ash all over the steel and smelled terrible when burning - probably some carcinogens there so I left the...

Just because the brake fluid looks amber, don't assume it is DOT 3. DOT5 is purple when new, but turns amber with age. Take a sample of the fluid and put it in water. DOT 3 is miscible in water, but DOT 5 isn't.

I only run off-road diesel in my MEP003A. However, I religiously add OptiLube XPD to the fuel for lubricity. During a study, OptiLube XPD came out number one for adding lubricity to diesel fuel. I use it in all my diesel engines. I have attached a copy of the study. Some additives actually...

The compression release should only be used when spinning the engine to purge air from the fuel system, never for starting.

It puts a large amount of stress and wear on the mechanism. Fred was adamant not to use the compression release while starting. It is also not needed if you have a good battery installed.

Hope you have something to pull it out with. That's a lot easier than digging.

I agree with you. The Pirellis ride a little harder, but I feel a lot more secure when on the highway - not so much bouncing. The tire shop basically had zero problems removing the old tires and mounting the new ones by hand. They lubed everything up really well and one or two whacks with a...

I received my 5 NOS Pirelli PS 12.5 X 20R tires from CSM Army Tires and had them mounted. It took the tire shop 4 hours to mount all five tires. Getting the old tires off the wheels and the new tires on the wheels by hand wasn't that difficult. However, inflating the new tires was a real...

Yeah, I just finished re-reading the FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners Group again from beginning to end for the third time since I got my SEE. Every time I read it I see something I missed previously or something I forgot. There is a lot of very good information there. Kudos to Migginsbros for...

I thought I'd throw out a photo of my M1030M1 USMC diesel motorcycle. I haven't really had to do much work on the bike - it runs so good.

Very interesting video - thanks for sharing.

I've not done this and don't intend to, but I ran into a guy once that said he owned a deuce and he said he sprays diesel fuel all over his truck every six months with a garden sprayer to make the CARC look fresh. He also said his wife wouldn't ride in it anymore because of the smell. No way...

I'm wondering if that HMMWV might have been in a flood. If so, the rest of the drive train might be suspect as well.

I just went out and checked the date codes on all 5 tires on my 1987 FLU419. The FLU419 was rebuilt by the Army in 2005. The FLU was in Iraq 2010 - 2011 according to paperwork found under the seat. I bought it in July 2020. It came from Ft McCoy in Wisconsin and had been with the Wisconsin...

I previously talked directly with an Allison engineer at the factory when changing out the motor oil in my M35A3 allison transmission. He told me that Transynd was a very good fluid, but that Dexron 3 was just as good for most situations. He said the only advantage of Transynd was the longer...

It sounds like EI may be importing their tires directly from Europe or someplace else. MPT81 tires are not a problem and all are available in the U.S. according to the Continental rep. I do know that EI sells a lot of tires for Unimogs and other trucks.

I'm not sure how EI gets their tires. Are they new from Continental or older new military surplus? In any event, they are too rich for my blood.

The other option is to part it out and buy another good FLU419, or buy a parts FLU419 and part out the rest once you remove the transmission.
