About the battery box, it may be relocated to the truck bed. It was done on the xm757 8x8 when they decided to go fom 2 to 4 batteries. Note box behind the rear bulkhead, passenger side on the platform....

Welcome to the site! You are in for a BIG project, even before exploring the other continents. :-) Most of us here can't even begin to think about getting something that large from Europe. Good luck and keep us informed.

Cute! What is the payload capacity?

I wouldn't worry about fuel consumption at idle, it's about 1 gal/hr. The proper idle speed is 825-850 for the turboed multifuel about 100 rpm lower for the N/A engine. It is set with the adjusting screw on the injection pump. The oil pressure regulator is on the engine block below the turbo...

RE: Re: RE: Engine Prelubricator Good progress Ernie! I would wire the pump like a starter motor, just sizing the wires and solenoid (relay) accordingly. A momentary contact pushbutton switch to operate a power relay, which "turns on" the motor with a connection directly to the battery. There...

An explanation of the title would be in order, which engine?

I go along with Will's explanation. The shut-off lever may stick after sitting in the off position for some time, it's normally returned to "start" position by spring action. When cranking and you have absolutely no smoke out of the exhaust then there is no fuel available. Like Will said, remove...

This goes back a number of years, I found it very difficult to take a turn on a muddy surface with duals, so I separated the rear brake lines and installed a brake lock on one side for testing. The brakes worked normally with the foot pedal, a separate switch let me lock the one side to help...

Please, do a search on this site, subject has been covered multiple times....access forum and use search function in the heading, keywords like "FDC", "bypassed", etc...

A starter solenoid may be the problem too, happened on my deuce last year, the contacts had fused closed....

RE: HELP!!!5TonAirPakTMWanted!! I have a 5-ton airpak in unknown condition if you want one to play with, $25 plus shipping..... Shipping weight is 25 lb from zip 24120.

Re: RE: West Coast mirrors and windshield hinges Kenny I have this, was going to use it as a spare for the 8x8, but it's not the same.... In trade, I'm looking for a couple of marker lights also need a new 3-lever light switch sooner or later. Two marker lights with intact rubber parts is fine...

Ethan, the batteries are moved into the crew compartment, under the companion seat. I'll check on the convection thing, heating the oil pan will let warm exhaust spill out and warm the rest of the engine too.

To continue the list: 45) Fuel temperature gauge 46) Air filter canister vacuum gauge 47) FDC bypassed 48) 2nd FDC installed for fuel viscosity monitoring 49) Siped tires for better wet pavement traction 50) Clock installed 51) dedicated ground wires for marker lights and turn signals 52) Side...

Tatra813, the hydraulic fluid for the power steering and automatic transmission I have found to be closest to spec for my 8x8 (xm757) is "Premium Tractor Hydraulic Fluid" available at Carquest, NAPA, Southern States etc. It has an equivalent viscosity of 10 weight engine oil.

Only trying to be helpful John, not pushing anything, no profit here.

You are very welcome! Sorry for taking more than 1/2 year to get it done. :oops:

These images from the 1965 -10 manual may help answer some questions. There is very little chance of getting exhaust fumes mixed with the hot air, the systems are well separated. The "emergency" shut down switch shown in one image is only used in case of chemical/nuclear attach when the air is...

Welcome to the site! Here is the info:

Ethan, a full blown kit includes hard top, hood and radiator covers, cab insulation, alcohol evaporator, personnel heater, coolant and oil pan heater. That makes a total of two separate fuel burning heaters, the one for the engine is not used when the engine is running. The battery box is also...
