How were they labeled or marked to keep them from getting confused with diesel? I have a red one for my genset, but want to paint it OD......

That was Tom Bauer (m35tom). He had an xm757 which he turned into an xm791 sort of. The tires were not like the originals, but very costly nevertheless...

Yeah, the hydraulic retarder is built into the transmission, but was never used by the military. It is supposed to be as effective or more so than a "jake brake", but noiseless. It is very simple to hook up and Ford (as far as I know from reading early notes about the truck) may have dimpled the...

Well, Mike, this one is far from finished, I'm only gaining confidence driving it now. Things to finish: 1) One leaky thru axle seal 2) Second fuel tank installation with valves 3) Coolant heater installation 4) Winch check-out 5) Back-up light 6) Locating more tires 7) Fixing speedometer 8)...

Actually not as bad as it may appear, the exhaust pipe is further away than it is on the deuce. The engine has a more mellow sound (compared to the deuce multifuel), but the fan noise is very pronounced. Area52, only the cargo version floats. :(

Thanks Will. Having a 200 hp engine as a driving buddy, revving at 2,800 rpm is a thrill for sure. There is a lot of whine from the fan...The turbo can only be heard from the outside on the exhaust side when it's spooling down.

Ryan, the 757 was used with the 1A version, the Pershing 2 needed the 10-ton tractor (MAN or HEMTT). Only a few left on display....maybe I can borrow one. :-)

Right, they were used in Germany, hauling the Pershing 1A missile for more than 12 years. Mine came from the training battalion at Ft Sill.

Racor CV820 is the model I'm using, got it for about $200.... http://www.maesco.com/products/racor/r_ccv_intro/r_ccv_open/r_ccv_open.html

My deuce speedo looks just like the 8x8 one, but is marked SW 501-C not 503-C. Would be good to have a Stewart Warner catalog sheet on this.....

This has been posted before, but "search" produces way too many hits (4,000 plus), so here it is again:

Devin, here is one old "file photo", I can get more details if you need.

Boost? Heck I was too exited to simply drive it. :-) I did look at the tach to check the rpm at which it shifted, though, I'll pay more attention to the gauges next time. The steering was effortless and the brakes easily locked up the rear tires on the gravel road (not much load).

The muffler is an original issue, the one used while in service, it's a Donaldson, posted info some time ago. I still have one fuel tank to install and from today's experience, some better valves (=higher flow factor) in the dual tank system. The tires are not the best either, but that thing is...

Added a few miles to the odo today driving the 8x8 in a nearby field. My son Adrian and I took turns. Shifting from first to second was very smooth and it really took off after shifting...lots of power. The automatic shifts at 2,800 rpm. I had some problems with the fuel pressure due to the...

It dosen't glow in the dark, if that's what you mean. I have the unit right here and tested it in the closet. The Russian tank clock glows like a flash light though. :-)

After discovering that the speedometer may be defective on the 8x8, I have been looking for a possible replacement. It seems that different models/designs have the same MS39021-2 number, can anyone tell me when the version with the Km/Hr scale was introduced? The Stewart Warner numbers are...

Nice deal!..... compare notes with Mike Pop....

Check my relay posts for the solution, diagrams and images have been posted throughout the last couple of years, including manual override for the headlights....

Minor correction here, (at least my) HIAB is good for 410° ....and it's more than a crane, actually, more like a mechanical arm, I can park a load within about a foot of the base of the crane or maybe I should say manipulate, since there is no wire rope involved, well you may have seen the posts...
