Vietnam predates he camouflage paint era and sand was not a shade in demand in the jungle.

They are not "O rings" but "non metallic washers."

I had a commercial truck with an air dryer which was fortunately fitted with an electric heater. If it is above freezing at the end of the day, water will collect in the ejector valve and freeze it open. The solution is the start the truck so the heater works, melts the ice and allow the valve...

Back in the day the MPs would give you a DR if they found you towing 1.5 ton trailer with anything less than a 2.5 ton truck.

I smell the dead hand of the feds behind this. Don't be surprised if it soon nationwide. It appears they do not encourage surplus vehicles for vocational us on road as by construction companies, landscapers, delivery services etc. so you can buy a new commercial truck from your friendly dealer...

Not to be a spoiled sport, but compliance issues ort lack thereof become a problem when hungry lawyers are circling and your collector car insurance carrier is balking at paying the claim.

As poster 9201 is obviously a man of experience he would know that the feds in their infinite wisdom have defined a commercial vehicle (CV) as a property carrying vehicle RATED for over 26,000 pounds GV or GCW or a passenger carrying vehicle occupied by more than 16 people including the driver...

Reference post 9196: the CDL standard is a federal thing and is supposed to be nationwide to prevent the drivers from shopping around for the state with the easiest test. New Jersey, for instance, did not have a classified licensing system until the CDL appeared in 1992. The government also sets...

If it\ is registered as a commercial vehicle you will need a CDL, class "A" if you pull a trailer rated over 10,000 pounds.

To determine eligibility for a CDL the crime fighters go by the design weight which is displayed on a plaque usually on the driver's door frame. You cannot register the truck for more than it is designed to carry, but "under registering" to beat the CDL requirement isn't going to work as...

PTOs (post 40) are out there. Jatonka has one on his M915A1.

If you want to continue with 10 tires of the ground find somebody with 11:22.5 tubless rims for "budd" wheels to sell. "Budd" is a reference to the wheel manufacturer and they are distinguished by being "stud" piloted wheels.Most commercial trucks for the past 20 years have used hub piloted...

Hauling piled snow to edge of lot with M817ww.

I seem to remember each one took .5 gallon as I recall filling 2 of them with 1gallon of acid. "Zero" would know these things and perhaps Jatonka.

Reference post 4: the way to get around the "hole" between 3rd and 4th gear is to split shift the truck. 2-3-4-5 in l9ow range, then pick up high range and use 4 &5 in high. This makes 6 gears. An OD transmission will pick up about 7 miles per hour over direct drive. If you are yard running the...

Read their terms of sale: if you paid for it so there is no EUC to gum things up you have a short period of time to evacuate the vehicle before they start assessing storage fees or you forfeit it back to the auction company. Time varies as some sites are not attended every day . Loading...

Reference post 9:You hope all that is cracked is the drain valve. The pump definitely will not draft if the various valves and the drain are not air tight so in order to get it run at all will require a pressurized water source( hydrant). Check out re runs of "Fantom Works" on cable TV as they...

If the pump hasn't been used in a long time the packing in the bearings for the impeller has likely dried out and will leak. This will have to be renewed. The bearings are lubricated in part by the water passing through it. The ball valves governing the pump intake and discharges will also...

The tank to pump valve control is probably the unmarked handle in the upper right corner of the pump panel. The data plate to the right of the steamer tells the tale on the capacity of the pump. Maximum capacity is taken at 150 pounds discharge pressure. This is a Hale Pump. Attached is a pic of...

I put one on a M123 doing as described in post 2 but it wasn't easy. Get soldier #2 if one is available.
