the zill 131 does not usually come with winh fitted but this one did. he is lucky a nice addition. and the trucks were in eastern block and then iruaq where they were "confiscated" and "evaluated" by the millitary? boffins. then sold off in disposal depots. (there were three of them.) I nearly...

as an aside..the rear of that thing IS JAM PACKED with NEW radio suvey/survalance/radio gear. Tools tool kits. intercoms 10,000 miles of wiring(on reels) theodalites?? level devices?? "funny"? dome shaped radar? kits(4) torches(flashlights!)..a "THING!!!" that goes up thro the roof and takes...

friend won an 133 zill at tender. so I used my wrecker to bring it "home" for him. no difference WITH or Without it..holmes gear is rather usefull as well so Im not detatching it. the people at the disposal unit were WELL impreesed with my M62. I am going to try post a "sound" vid so it can be...

no u arn't and yes correct..engine with fuel density compensator = multifuel..and engine designation and data pltes confirm..

hm...I had a 427..went to holland bought a complete 465 drove it home!..(ferry x water!)..put 465 into my deuce.. power "sounds" and traction much better. ..take a peek at this document...oh..and as a pee,ess..the SINGLE HOLE injectors give MORE power. tek a butcherz at..TM 9-2320-356-bd...

as a p.s. I have five of these trucks and if I experienced the probs encounterd by J..I would give up the hobby OR make another (better!) pump do the job..at 3 per year 5 trucks..$350..a time...CRIPES!!! <yeah>(OR montego ..which has done 274000 miles still ok!!)DOES real fine..also My local...

Just a thought..for such a (tough)((reliable military use))truck I think the pumps in these trucks begger belief for c..p design!! (just) how did the designer come up with "magnetic" plates to drive it? (which get contaminated with carbon "falling" down from the brushes on the motor..!! ANOTHER...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Best ways to Res SNAP I have an M45 fire unit and attended a show with it for the first time last weekend..everyone was WELL impressed! (as far as I know there is only ONE other here in U.K.) has the continental ld465 fitted..(so) I fitted a...

I run 1200x20 on my deuce. all the favourable comments apply. rears flipped SPACER plates on ALL axles carry the wheels IN LINE and track (width) max! the engine (now) never "hunts" and I keep up with (H.G.V.) traffic at decent R.P.M.s. P.S. looks and stands great!

oil supply ?? the engine oil pump takes oil from the sump..wence it goes through the filters..primers (also) take (the same) oil from the same same source AND send that oil THROUGH the filters...(at the filter block housing)obviating the point of FILLING the EMPtY(drained) filter cannistors..

pre lube your project sounds good. and not acting as a check valve doesn't matter. MINE drains back each and every time its stood. BUT gents...so it takes 30seconds to prime full..WHAT A NICE (satisfying) feeling when the oil press(eventualy). climbs to 15 lbs or so B 4 pushing the start...

just looked to make sure.. and the 5ton M54s have 500 and 650 amperz in em!

well apart from the "looks"...(and (just) WHO looks in the battery case any waze!...with 5 trucks I have ANY and EVERY battery in them! mostly from our local car scrap(breaker) yard!!...obviouslt NO silly lill ones...but any diesel car batts work fine.

pump thats sound advice right there..if you look in deks collection (photo gallery) you will see the mounting(of the unit) and pipe work. from sump to filter housing.

give some thought to an electric fork lift motor and pump. does my M62 wrecker ok. thirty seconds (so whats the rush?) and I have 20lbs pressure to fire up with!"

I had no probs getting two sets from REOME holland. reasnable price included (the dreaded!) VAT and shipping. most other parts avaliable gaskets seals etc etc..small items....(engines xfer gearboxes.....) ! repair kits master/cyls...you cudda had mine (as \Icut mi filters down to 1" ...

THATS HOW we used the britt tank bar! dolly OR 5th wheel ..= SANE loading. ONE towed unit. (tho with air and electric hookups)..not sure of the law requirement over there tho...(I suspect.....its the same..as here..)ya sposed to UNHOOK the fith wheel and recover the trailer sepratly) let allone...

as a p.s. and as a thought...I often tow the deuce or firetruck to shows..with the m54 or M62 ..the M35 chassis are BOTH fitted with emergeancy AND service line now. a well worthwile mod..and the lights and turn signals have mill hookups at front on both and on reflection..(and some...

The forces on the front towbar shackles(lifting eyes)as allready pointed out are horendous! we used the brittish hollybone tank bar (the one mounted on my m54a2 fender in deks pics). succinctly. when cornering the deuce(and similar) kick out the rears as springs slide accross the end shackles...
