i take it the winch was a post-manufacture add-on ? (low quadrant lights)

yikes on the price ... good thing i make all my own gaskets !! .. And as far as better starting and less fuel, I have heard nothing but good things about the zenith replacement carb for R6602's .. One of these days i will get my new zenith put on the M51 .. (I've been saying that now for...

A new gladhand picked up at any truckstop (and some autoparts stores) that is plumbed to your curly air hose means you can retire your 30g briggs for lesser duties.. Use the red "emergency" gladhand receptacle at the rear of truck for your air source.. It will be water & oil-free as long as you...

that source is good to know! ... I have a NOS zenith on a shelf in the M750 for almost 20 years now, waiting for me to have time to swap it onto the M51 , whose holley is still operational with the usual temperments they have .. The accelerator pump in it has gone bad this year, so time is...

While digging thru some old manuals in my M109's desk drawer the other day i came across a 1965 M44-series deuce manual that discussed differences between the gassers and dash-A1 multifuel trucks .. Among the list was a mention about headlamp quadrant position , gasser non-winch trucks vs...

the only problem i can visualize with re-plumbing the dash "pre-heat" primer pump is the small size of the line versus the size the cummins PT-pump needs to be fed with.. I would think some blisters would appear before the OEM dash primer pump fills the filter can etc. The dash primer pumps...

yes i recall the BN's 5T M62 and M543 gasser wreckers droning away quite happily at a fairly-consistent high-idle RPM regardless of load, like a farm tractor .. Mine unfortunately is nothing like that although it was a gasser which unfortunately got stuck with a multifuel at some point .. I...

unfortunately that's the nature of the M809-series , losing prime is easy once their system is opened up.. Changing a fuel filter beside the road without having a can of fuel to fill the filter can is impossible unless you have a hose and like the taste diesel fuel , and even then, priming is...

yeah, thanks for pics, i don't think i ever saw that linkage assembly on my truck anytime i went under to grease it, but i will look again !! I have to run it with happy spots on the throttle which depends on the load expected

Here's the pics, circa 1977 or '78 Company Maint M35A1 "skinny stack" .. Elongated end tarp appears to be one piece all the way down .. I don't recall if this was a custom-sewn item, or COEI / Bii ... Truck had been recently repainted and in process of having its tall setup reinstalled...

i don't recall if the story is here in a SS forum, or if i read it at a different military truck website, or an A-W construction website, or ATHS magazine, or could have been in Military Vehicles magazine .. The "conflict" had to do with a problem with a Patent or some other Legal matter with...

M543's built before 1964 are all gassers (originally).. The Austin-Western conflict / Garwood resolution happened around 1957 , thus gasser M543's were in production about 6 years , and then the (diesel) A1's and subsequent (mulitfuel) A2's started rolling in

yes , the wavy washer is the spring that keeps the diaphram normally closed.. sorry i don't recall but i think the spring is free-floating , it should need freedom to lay flat under magnetism and return curvature .. It likely can't do that if it's "glued" to the diaphram , and I know you know...

and always too far away :ROFLMAO:

PS; although it doesn't show on the TM illustration, your truck has a fuel solenoid bypass "screw" on it , it's at the front with knurled knob ... Some cummins 855's have it, some don't.. I don't recall which way it turns for bypass (in or out), but it would be opposite of what is is right...

1: The solenoid is a simple item to clean up .. There is a spring in there (maybe two, it's been many years) but it comes apart and goes together easy , only about 3 pieces in there At one time I had trouble with an M818 solenoid so i gutted it and ran it for a few weeks using the emergency...

yes, that is the OEM spare location on M39-series and M809-series 5T cargo beds
