    XM1061E1 Trailer Brake Shoes

    I've been looking at the now-removed shoes from the XM1061E1 trailer. They are marked 7064979, which is the shoe only, sans lining. The Assembly P/N is 7064978. The CAGE is 19207. All of the shoes are marked Made in Canada. Both left and right shoes are identical. The lining is 3" wide and...

    XM1061E1 Trailer Brake Shoes

    I found the same problem. I have both an M105A2 and an M149A2 water buffalo and both take the same shoes, wheel cylinders, etc. Unfortunately, both trailers are located in a remote part of my property and I don't really want to move either of them to level ground right now to pull a drum. I...

    XM1061E1 Trailer Brake Shoes

    I need brake shoes for my 1061 trailer. The shoes are 15" and 3" wide. They look like M105 shoes in the TM. Does anyone know if they are the same as M105 shoes? I'm not sure if the 105 has 15" brakes or not.

    M35A3 Transmission overfill?

    This should be in the 5-ton forum. However, overfilling an automatic transmission can be very bad and can damage the transmission. You need to read the TMs and search for the vent and make sure it is not plugged. Drain any excess fluid from the transmission. Fluid levels are checked for most...

    problems with interstate batteries

    Deca also makes 6TLs. When I was looking for inexpensive new 6TLs, the closest Deca dealer that would sell them to me was in Alabama, so I stuck with Interstates.

    problems with interstate batteries

    I have 6TLs from Interstate in both of my deuces and A2 and an A3. The A2 batteries from the Army had a date code of 2007. They failed after almost exactly 6 years of age and I replaced them with new Interstate 6TLs. My A3 has Interstate 6TLs installed by the Army and they have date codes of...

    I didn't see a Pinzgauer at the rally, but I did see one parked at the lodge. I don't think they were part of SS.

    MEP 003A: No Oil Pressure

    Rosie, the 003A has a mechanical oil pressure gauge. Before you do anything else, I would confirm that the unit actually doen't have oil pressure. If you don't have a spare gauge, go to any auto parts store and purchase the cheapest pressure gauge you can find that you can attach the hose to...

    Robo, The rally starts (officially) on Wednesday October 8. You need to fly into Atlanta (ATL). If you arrive on Monday the 6th, I can pick you up at the airport, and take you to my place where we have plenty of room for you to stay. You can then ride down to the rally with me in my M35A3 or...

    Air-O-Matic adjustment

    I had to replace the pressure regulator on my A3 system. After replacement, mine tended to oversteer as you mentioned and the steering was much more sensitive than with the old regulator. I backed off the pressure a little and this fixed the problem. Is your regulator adjustable?

    Robo, unless you have removed the tags in the collar, the size is written on the lower tag at the bottom of the tag.

    Dave, if you are not out of town, you definitley need to come Friday night. One night is definitely better than not at all. That being said, good luck with your new job.

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    In Georgia, they are not supposed to issue a title for a vehicle that has been previously registered without a title, which sounds like your situation. If you can get an SF97, you can always try to get a title and see what happens. Perhaps pretend it hasn't already been registered, although...

    I'm taking my XM1061E1 trailer to the sandblaster tomorrow morning. There is significant surface rust all over the trailer, including the bottom, but the trailer is in excellent mechnical condition. They will sandblast all of the rusty areas and simply rough up the good areas to help paint...

    MEP-003a Fuel Line Question

    A friend of mine was running biodiesel in his almost new New Holland tractor. It worked great until it ate up some of the fuel lines and disabled his IP with particles. The New Holland dealer told him never to run biodiesel in a NH tractor.

    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    What would really be great is if you could get the guy to come visit the K-18 and look at it. Likely, he would remember even more if he was actually looking at the inside. Wouldn't hurt to ask - he might jump at the chance. Bring back old memories.
