Check to organizational maintenance manual, TM 9-2320-209-20 and see if it says anything about adjusting the sprag. Otherwise changing out the transfer case is an animal job.

The army had a tm for marking vehicles the number of which escapes me. Prior to the coming of camouflage paints schemes in 1975 to registration number was displayed on the sides of the hood in 3" letters and (cargo trucks) on the back of the body. Couple of pics from RVN in 1972 illustrate the...

bought another one (my 4th), checked all the fluids, l.ots of grease and WD40 as the PO never went near it with a grease gun or oil can, replaced gearshift knob and hood safety catch, installed correct nuts on spare tire carrier to secure spare so I can use the tools for the truck to get the...

Picture of failed angle joint. Collar seizes and then motion of shaft wrips out rubber boot. Got a new one from Memphis Equipment. Forget what it costs.

Some maintenance sections had a Kem tire spade which you held against the bead with your foot and beat on it with a sledge hammer. Not good if you missed the tool and hit your foot. In RVN people were breaking tires by placing the offending tire under a deuce and putting the issue jack...

In an earlier life I flat towed a M813 with a broken motor mount from Ft Drum, NY with a M62. We had 20 cans of gas on the crane platform and used all of them. Crawled up the hill on I81 southbound at Preble, NY in 2nd low range. Advised assistant driver one more gear and he was pushing. Left Ft...

The crane u joints referred to in post 4 are "angle joints" as I recall on the lubrication order. Don't make a move without one of those. Also an item that most people do not lube is the drum lock on the front winch. If this is not frequently used it will get stuck and render the winch...

Agree with post 11. Are driving this on public roads or private haul roads ? NJ allows you to max out at 800# per inch of tread width. Regular plates get you to 600# on 10:00x20 tires, special commercial (read extra cost) are required to get the rest. Check the sidewalls of the tires you are...

Might be something the engineers would have to either haul lumber or bridge sections on. It is old judging from the style of the taillight. The length of the drawbar ahead of the body implies some kind of long load.

To figure the job the trucker needs to know if it does or does not run and if it must be loaded or unloaded from the ground. Guys with step deck trailers and no ramps will need a dock at each end of the trip. If it is a van they need to know how high to figure bridge clearances.

You can get aftermarket overdrives that go between the transfer case and the rear axle to improve speed, but remember just because it goes faster does not mean it will stop faster with the stock brakes.

While you a planning to get your truck recon the driver's and registration procedures in your home state. These truck have straight air brakes which normally requires at least a class b CDL. However if you can register it as a "recreational" vehicle you may be able to escape some of these pesky...

Reference post 27: make that 38 fittings. I forgot the two on the clutch crossover shaft through the bell housing. On a 809 series truck this point is usually serviced by a grease cup rather than a zerk.

Reference post 5: 43 zerks on a WOW truck? When the trunions and the third drive shaft left you lost 5 but if the new springs have 3ea you picked up 6 for a net gain of one. I have greased more than one of these things through my military service and count 36 fittings for a WOW truck and 3 more...

A M816 should be able to do an engine swap. You will probably have to take and bring the engines to the hull on trailers as I am sure the wrecker will not "walk" with them.

If you plan to drive it be sure to lube ALL the u-joints The one between the transmission and transfer case is the highest up when you are under the truck and is the most likely to lack lubrication. A u joint failure here on the road will be a character building experience.

#3 is definitely the oldest one of the group as it has the lowest ID #. The front part of the number is missing which would reveal the exact year. Most 809 series trucks were run off in 1970 and 71 They continued into 1972 but the registration number system changed that year to numbers and...

Pics of a V100 on convoy escort duty Bien Hoa, RVN March, 1972

If the item was sold subject to an EUC read the EUC which outlines some of their return policies. I remember a case several years ago where GL sold some of the 4 wheel power sections of these break apart HEMETTs and shortly after the buyers had to send them back and they were not reimbursed for...

You also have to indicate whether ramps are available at both ends of the move to figure the job. If no ramps at either end the carrier will have to use a trailer that will load/unload from the ground such as a landoll.
