    2nd Fuel tank on my Deuce.

    Inverted flare is the same military or commercial. I use my brake tubing flaring kit and the inverted flare connections rarily leak. It is the double flaring procedure. Hard to overtighten. For the pipe threads, make sure they are pipe threads (=tapered) and not straight. I had some problems...

    Here is your M127, no kingpin location shown. The M269 should work.

    M819 wrecker truck tractor question

    As seen in the image below, the clear space in front of the 5th wheel is about 1/2 of what I have found on other truck-tractors. Is this truck designed for only one type trailer? Goose neck type trailers only, like the M269/M270 or is there enough room for trailers like the M313 or M750 for...

    Air horn sound

    Thanks for the answers! So, the 5-ton and the 2-1/2 ton air horns are pretty much the same despite the different NSN's...and okay I won't be making any adjustments. Dang, Patrick what were you thinking, lighting the gas, what was the range of that flame thrower?

    Motor pool horn

    When I visited Leonardo Jones in Sacramento several months ago, he introduced me to something new, a "motor pool horn" he called it, something to use around town as opposed to the air horn for the highway. His Baby Hemtt has two horns. Does anybody else have two horns, one electric and one air?

    Air horn sound

    The M39 series 5-ton and 2-1/2 ton trucks have different air horn NSN's, do they also sound different? Deuce horn: 2590-00-900-1640 5-ton (M39): 2945-00-240-1684 5-ton (M923): Same as deuce horn

    Guess you had to be there, "F... The Army". Sorry about bringing it up, but not an uncommon expression and it did not stand for "Follow The Army".

    LDT 465 (C) Injector Pump

    Here is an image, "A" and "B" are the O-rings, or "preformed packing" as the manual calls it.

    LDT 465 (C) Injector Pump

    Joel there are two O-rings that you may have to replace. They are part of the IP rebuild kit and "all" you have to do is lift the head off to gain access. Actually not too bad a job.

    Check your VINs, and seats

    RE: Hope This Helps... Interesting, my M49 fuel tanker came from Camp LeJeune, NC. DRMO style, where I "won" that auction in 1995, it was a USMC truck. I drove it home without problems. About 350 miles.

    Pershing Missile haulers

    As you know by now, the primary role for the M656 series 8x8 trucks was that of servicing the Pershing missle system. The XM757's were used for a good 15 years and then replaced with 10-ton tractors, M983 and/or MAN trucks. The missile erector/launcher was equipped with a small crane to...
