The turbos were added to 'clean up' the exhaust. Read the contemporary literature on that subject (1970-1980's).

When the MVPA convention was at Huntsville, a group of us got to tour Anniston. There is a place there that stored 'extra' vehicles that could be requisitioned by museums or as 'gate guards' located at about 33.6150545,-85.9774462. Lot more buildings in that area now, so they may have moved it...

With the M-60 mounted up there, the trash runs should be 'very quiet' - no interference from anybody!

The second one posted is 'worth' a lot more because not as many were made. If you can find someone who is looking for the larger one and has the smaller one, you could swap. Thus you would be spared the expense (time and money) of modifying the one you have. Just a thought.

800 series 5 tons - yes, 900 series 5 tons - no, it's too wide by 11-18 inches.

MKT-75 through MKT-90 all had about the same 'guts' and all the MKT series could interchange parts. Most that were kept by the military have been upgraded to the MKT-99 standard, either in a refurbishment by contractors, or by getting a 'kit' and doing it in the motor pool. Some of the things...

Short air pack fits in the same place as the long one. All attaching points are the same.

I was thinking that might be what he has now.

Is your radio 12 or 24 volt? If 12 V, try switching which alternator/battery you are drawing the power from.

Your Fire Department will need to fill out a "Freedom of Information" request on your official letterhead and submit to the proper authorities, probably along with the paperwork you have for the truck, including it's serial number for them to verify. Then, if the stars align properly, they will...

Your 280 shelter has a back porch! I have an M-36 w/S-280 that is setup in a similar fashion.

Last time our club bought Opti-Lube, it was in a five gallon bucket, enough to treat 2500 gallons of JP-8, Diesel 1 or 2.

Stephan Wood Products in Michigan makes the fiberglass seat slats. Tell them exactly what it is for and they will come pre drilled for the bolts.

Actually, our group is staying in a motel, which is less than 10 minutes from the park. No tents, no cabins, 'free breakfast' (built into the room rate), hot water showers, TV, and other amenities of civilization.

Not really for the general public. There is a club newsletter. Our next event is the Gilbert Peach Festival on July 4 where we will parade about 8-10 vehicles. Next event is the Lexington Sherrif's Touch a Truck on Aug 5, and the Chapin Labor Day Parade On Sep 4. SouthEast Rally in Windrock...

Put up a 'for sale' here first, you will get more money and fewer 'tire kickers'.

And to make life simpler, see if you can find a Lisle Brake Bleeding Kit, part number 19200. it has a cup to catch the brake fluid in and a clear line to see if there are still bubbles. Less cleanup that way!

Bleed the MC by loosening the line at the air pack, and tighten again quickly once it has no bubbles. You will need to have air pressure or the pump sprayer contraption that Kenny described originally to bleed the air pack. Out of the air pack the line splits off to the front and the back at...

Get an assistant to pump the brakes, then go to the furthest rear brake cylinder, and with the assistant holding the brake pedal down after several pumps, open the relief valve just a little. When the stream is steady fluid, close it quickly. Repeat for each of the rear brake cylinders. Then...

What did I say about a better memory and search skills! Didn't take long!
