Do you get any guidance from the applicable lubrication order ? An oil jobber with a good computer should be able to translate mil spec numbers into their civilian equivalents.

I took a 6tl battery with a badly deformed terminal to a battery shop. They cut it off flush with battery top and using a mold the size of the complete battery terminal, melted some lead and poured it into the mold. Let it cool off, removed the mold, dressed it with a file, charged me an...

To help people figure the job are: 1) the tents crated, and if so can they be hauled on an open trailer or is a van required ? Loading facilities at each end of the trip ? What kind of place are they in ? A GP or other government place or a private facility ? Appointment needed to load/unload ?

Pic attached. Definitely cordless.

Post 15: wrong picture. Trying again.

Repeat of pic of M816 clutch now inverted.

Reference post 10: Grease is cheap: parts cost money. One thing I learned well in the military is lubricate everything IAW the applicable LO. Especially the more obscure fittings that are hard to reach with the grease gun. A M816 has something on the order of 100 grease points and I found them...

Reference post 9: the "PT" fuel pump used in the 816 has an attachment or modification that allows it to hold a steady rate of fuel delivery or engine speed to facilitate the operation of the crane. The pumps used in cargo trucks will, if the hand throttle is pulled out, eventually ramp them...

Picture facing front of truck shows air cylinder for remoter clutch operation between the transmission and the right frame rail above the driveshaft for the front winch. The bellhousing and the crossshaft to operate the throwout bearing are unique to the wrecker as is the fuel pump a, frame...

Don't proceed to far without reading the reading: operators manual, organizational maintenance manual, lubrication order, parts book. These are in the 9-2320-260-10 series which can be found in the TM section on this site. There are over 40 grease points on a M818, 4 on the hand brake alone...

As post 23 suggests if you are going to Alaska in the winter you need everything: water, oil and fuel heaters or treatments. One reason M35A2s drain all their oil into the pan is the Army had a heater to keep the oil from freezing. Check the LO: special lubricants are required for artic...

I hope you got the correct bellhousing/clutch for a wrecker. They are unique with the provision to operate the clutch from the crane deck pneumatically which the dump trucks and cargo trucks lack.

Reference post 6: why didn't they just get an Autocar or Mack ? All\ that is left of the original truck seems to be the cab.

I hope you have a truck with airbrakes to pull that. As captioned in pic 7 it is rated over 3000# which means it is required to have operational brakes to operate on the highway. So unless you are going to use it on site get ready to feed the contents of you wallet to the first hungry DOT who...

Post 4 tells it the way it is. Any trailer RATED over 3000 pounds requires some form of brake: electric, air over hydraulic, straight air, surge or what have you. Even the Army is putting surge brakes on generator trailers designed to be pulled by HUMMERS for this reason. About every 6 weeks we...

Post 8790: Big truck parts places should have them. These knobs are frequently secured with roll pins.

Don't forget to read the reading: operator's manual, organizational maintenance and parts book, lubrication order. All are available on this site. Grease is cheap; parts cost money. There are about 36 grease points on a M35WOW. Neglect them at your own peril. 4 on the handbrake alone.

The relevant parts book has a part number for the cable but doers not list the size. The operator's manual lists 200' of cable for a dump truck, tractor, or cargo truck.

The chainfall is hung from the top cord which is in compression under load but the entire truss is assembled with "pierced steel plates" or gang nails that do not do well under additional unengineered loads. This is a recipe for structural collapse. Suggest an arrangement that does not place the...

Oil all be pivot points on the bell cranks and levers under the floor may help
