    Speedometer sending unit adapter for 395/85R20 tires

    I tried the 939 speedometer adapter on my 818. At first it spun the wrong direction and only showed speed in reverse. I took it apart and flipped the output to the correct side. Now it shows speed going forward but is way too fast. Second gear winds out to 60 mph and I know that's impossible...

    Snow Plow Mount

    Just saw your location. You definitely get more snow than we do down here. We have 2 10' wide snow blowers that mount to the front of loaders but some years we don't even use them. A wing is very useful for benching. There's so much traffic around here I'm just waiting for someone to run into a...

    Snow Plow Mount

    The mount pins to the front bumper and the legs of it go under the front axle. The legs have L shaped ears welded on the go over the axle. The mount is a L. The only pivot is where it pins to the bumper. The plow pins to the corner of the L, which when plowing, the legs push up on the axle...

    Snow Plow Mount

    My plow is mounted pretty close to the same as the pictures above. I have pushed snow till it comes over the 42" tall blade. Dug into the ditch when the road disappears and pushed rolloff dumpsters without hurting the truck. I did bow a plow by getting into an embankment. You want it to pin to...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    10mpg, air conditioning, and shinny, it will never pass as military even painted green! If you polish the wheels, you could black anodized them!

    Economical turn signal flasher repair option

    That's awesome. My flasher died a few months ago. Truck-lite makes the replacement but was unavailable from my local supplier. And was also very expensive if he could have gotten it. I was wondering if I could gut the factory flasher and save the connector. Thanks for posting.

    Looking for a Mechanic in the Baltimore MD area to work on 1985 HMMVW electrical

    I'm probably farther away than Ollie, but if he can't get to it let me know. I'll work on it for you or I have a buddy that's really good with specialty vehicles in Severn MD.

    Mid Winch Install on M818

    I have a hydraulic valve from a bulldozer. It's a 4 bank. Was blade up/down w/ float, blade angle, blade tilt, rear winch. I'm using it as plow up/down/float, plow angle, wetline out the rear for my dump trailer and rear winch. The valve has a main relief valve and the winch section has it's own...

    Mid Winch Install on M818

    Yep going hydraulic. I made the spreadsheet from info in the Tm's and NSN descriptions. I like the 939 series trucks, especially the brake system. But I wouldn't give up my 809 series with a manual trans! A 939 bolster truck would be cool, I've never even seen a 815

    Mid Winch Install on M818

    Hey Jeff I know I could swap the housings from side to side. But the input has to be on the back. If it sticks out the front it may interfere with 5th wheel trailers. The truck is really kinda short for this mod. Still have that PTO for me?
