South Eastern Equipment Company in August seems to be a good advice. I bought parts there a while ago. Not cheep, but NOS in cared quality, stored and numbered in shelf, not from a big pile. Wolf

Get you old one rerpaired, new tubes and finns should be available at the radiator shop for acceptable money. The NOS is 40 years old and - scrap - ! The core survives some 15, max 20 years dry (and wet not so much more). The water cases on top and bottom are normally standard replacement stuff...

If the throttle shaft leaks, there are only 2 possibilities: O-Ring worn out or bearing sat worn out. If little leak, continue. Later the replacement of the IP is mandantory. Look for a good replacement allready. Now you have left some time to get a good IP. The old housing probabely is scrap...

The number of the propper replacement starter is 6598N. The old model is not supported any more for poor reliability. Wolf

Follow the local legal requirements. Ask the local officials and ask for a copy of the legal requirements, if you do not get them from the internet. Follow them and you will have no trouble. Wolf

If you run 24 V through your selenoids of the electric brakes, they will become hot very fast and the braking force will increase (the magnetic force inreases due to higher voltage). And shortly in braking, the brakes will fail due to overheating of the selenoids. The propper testing for that...

The manuales I own of the CUCV series trucks mention no glow plug removal tool. So I think, there is no special tool existing. The most usual is as I noticed from practice, a craw bar and force. The tip might brake of. So you have to take the injection nozzle of that cylinder out and go fishing...

I apreciate the info about this source. I think I will order there some plates sooner or later. Wolf

Shocks can only be tested on a special test bench. And without the specs you can not say whether they are good or bad. However, these look like unused, so they should be ok. Wolf

Why this question? The answers are given in SAE J847 and SAE J849. The three inch tow eye is always 1.62 inch in ring thickness, the 2.36 inch tow eye is always in 1.5 inch ring thickness (copied from SAE J847). Wolf

I think you should learn to shift and NOT ruin you commander. However, if you will NOT learn it, the gear reatings of the T98 are the same as the Dodge ones from WW II. If you find a good T98 and a good mechanic and the bearings are the same size (which I do not know excactly) and the shifting...

I forgot to add a pic of a civilian rig hauling a 25 ton tank on a civilian 40 ton trailer (gross). The Faun tows a 25 ton ex Bundeswehr low bed trailer with a Hotchkiss on it. The blue Semi is the professional way to haul a 65 ton tank. That is the legal way in Germany. Wolf

There are military trailers for 15.5 tons load. The Germany Army used those to haul engineering equipment like bulldozers. But they are all full trailers! Today they use civil trailer in bronce green painting. Of the old ones I add two samples. However, I think a 5 ton is to small to pull such a...

Leo I was designed in the early 60s. The M1 was designed in the late 70s to early 80s. Thats why you won most the times. How about a Leo II. Your M1 had a 105 mm gun, the Leo II from the very first day the 120 mm smooth bore gum which the M1 got with the M1A1 version. Years later! Anyway, the...

The worst case senario is: The IP has a crac which somnetimes happens. Hope for you it is only an O-ring. Wolf

Mistaken1 is correct. Thats it. blckdblnckl, was you wiper motor NOS. So the libricants on that are 20+ years old. Clean it, check for propper assemble, relubricate and try again. When I had these troubles, no replacement was available. Some parts inside the pump actuation were worn out...

Why a water tube is not metric? The answer is simple: These tubes shall not be mixed with hydraulic tubes of simelar size. The threat is Witworth, thread flange angle is 55° instaed of 60° for metric. And the tube size has directly nothing to do with the thread diameter. But that is related on...

Quickly I did not find a pic of a Dodge 6x6 winterized, however a Jimmy with a field winter modification. Picture taken February 1945 in Strassburg, pic is from the book The GMC a universal truck. So, why other units should not have done simelar modifications. Everything is correct as long...

I have some ings to add: When I started on MV, there were GMC, Dodges, Jeep of WWII, all in inches. I had to learn that, no choise! When I rebuilt my M715 the first time, I had to use the SAE System. When I owned the M1009 the enigine is full metric except where SAE parts were connected...

A plastic pill tube of propper size will also help. Wolf
