RE: chains Chains for duals can be taken apart and reassembled for singles. Four doubles will be enough for six singles. Been there done that type of thing.

Joseph, is the button "M" in this figure? How did you decide that it was bad? Is it designed to flatten under over pressure I wonder...as in clogged injector...need to look into this.

RE: duece wont start??????????. Good advise fellows, glad you got your running Joseph. The "button" on the bottom, heh, need to check that... There is a bleeder screw on top of the secondary/final filter bracket.

You may need one of these:

RE: Re: snow driving No problem Gimpy, it's raining this morning, but I'll do that later today. If you can find the NSN for the chains, you can look up an exact description. Did that one time, I'll see if I can retrace the procedure....

You can say that again....

Mine is an industrial mechanical pressure gauge. El Cheapo here paid $10 for it... new. Does not have internal illumination, but heck, I sometimes need a flashlight to see some of the other gauges too. You'll be good Patrick. Some gauges ar not to be used for oil and since it is possible to get...

Okay, competition is always healthy. :wink:

RE: Re: snow driving BV206 = M973 = SUSV = Hagglunds In Sweden they are referred to as "vesslan" (the weasel).

Suppose ether would be more forgiving since it isn't burning, the flame heater is while cranking only.

Now, with a little imagination, one can make any vehicle swim. This inclides tanks.

No swimming photos, David, although I have the APG video from the 60's. Please, send them, the more the merrier, also, if you have later date images from fielded unts. Much appreciated. The XM757 doesn't swim, not enough boyancy in the rear. :( Of course with the (Pershing missile) trailer it...

The coolant sensor switches at 20°F. Yeah, the solenoid operated one for sure, it injects a metered amount of ether. Remember, do this ONLY while cranking.

MIke, I drape the chains over all tires with one end touching the ground. Next I drive forward over the ends that touch ground until the ends clear the tire. After that, I just hook them together. I use heavy duty cable ties to secure extra chain links. The procedure is shown in the fording...

David, they give the repeat "customers" a chance to use the old spots again. It will open to the "public" in a month or so, not sure when.

Checking the pieces over I found that the extra is from the "light" towbar, the tube is smaller. It was a broken one and I had to cut it close to the end. If you can still use it, it's yours. Let me know.

Great info Patrick, thanks! I use a separate regular CB antenna, doesn't really stand out that much...

Bring folding chairs and be prepared for rain, Aberdeen is due for a good rain after a couple of years with great weather. If you smell the Waffle House, you know how to locate me. :-)

The swimming feature of an MV is probably never very useful, that goes for the M656 8x8 and M548 tracked carrier too. Conditions must be ideal, no current, no waves and river/lake banks that don't slope too much. I think the M548 started out with swimming capability but was changed to fording...
