With the propper engine oil not used over 5000 miles you do not need the cold idle up selenoid. In the injection pump the cold advance is the contact on top of the pump with the same harness as the selenoid. This increases the inside pressure by some 3 PSI to actuate the rotation of the timing...

These friction shocks are in use all over the WC - Series trucks! Wolf

Why Afganistan? These tanks are for sale in Britain, as far as I know, from 6000 English pounds up, depending on condition. The tank an the initial pic is a later version, at least after the T34B with its caracrteristic buble under the gun. So I think it is a T34/85, MY depending on the design...

In Germany was the equivalent to RAL 6022 brown olive the standard by that time untill they started with the multy tone camo. So, beeing honnest, it is not really the correct coulor, for every maker made it a little bit different, and any lot was a little bit different. If you carefully look at...

Beside all the fun that might come up here with that truck. Fact is, as said before: it is a Gas engine, else no foot starter. Second: The steel quality for European understanding is not very high, so welding is not realy the problem, for useually the welding material is of higher quality...

O.K., I did not realy pay attention, it was said to be a M101A2, so with inertia overun brakes. So, I do NOT unterstand, why the brake was taken out. The master cylinder is the same as a CJ2 and cheep to buy. The shock absorber is also cheep as surplus. And why the change to a 5 bolt patern? Do...

To pull a M101A1 you do NOT need a F350, any M37, M715, M880, CUCV series truck exept the M1009 is good enough to tow it legally. And the fitted wheels realy do not fit optically to that trailer. If the trailer is 8 bolt pattern, anyway, it is a M101A2 with inertia overrun brakes. I did not...

My plates are where the leagal requirement require them. Front and rear! And do not forget, our plates are more than double the size of yours! Wolf

My problems were solved 26 years ago whith some hand made reenforcements of the front spring mounts, which I welded in place. Wolf

O.K., nice work from the hobbymodelling side. But a little far from reality (as long s someone else can prove something else). Wolf Plastic modelling since 45 years

According to the standard US Army trailer designe it sould be some 10 percent of the trailer curb weight. And this technically makes sence. Wolf

Not uite like the M105, however simelar. But to pull that trailer even with a full size pick up to my understanding is far out of the security understanding everybody of us MV collectors shoud have. A 2000 lbs plus trailer towed without brakes is quite a deal bejond safety. Wolf

The camufaged Opel Blitz is a 3 ton truck, the grey one is a 1.5 ton truck. sS it is in the wrong part of this forum. Should be rated WWI trucks or at least below 5 ton. Wolf

There is a change, which sometimes helps: Lift the cassis that the axle is hanging free. Then try to apply greese. If this does not help, remove the fitting and get all the old grease out. Also remove the hanger and get the old greese out of the greesing hole. Than it will work. At least at my...

I used Ranchos for 300,000 plus Kilometers and they were no bad deal for relativly little money (some 40 Euros each). With the relation to Kilometers they have been cheep. Wolf

For the original 9.00-16 the propper replacement is 255/100R16 or 285/85R16 of at least 8 PR. 11.00R16 also fit on the original rims, however the spare will not fit in place any more. 7.50-20 is very close to the original tire size. 9.00-20 might also fit. Everything larger needs modifications...

First, as said indirectly before, the valves are fited with hydo lifter caps, so they do not need any adjustment, if the basic setting is done correctly. sSond will be no carbon setting on the intake valves for it is a DIESEL engine. Third if you look for help for engine repair beside the Army ...

That is quiet a normal Russian road. May be now you understand why the Russian trucks are the better off road trucks. They simply need them. Wolf P.S. I haver some more pics simmelar to those shown, it is all the same far out in Sybiria.

Poor ground is not possible, else high beam would not work. So fuse shot or switch is bad, which is common with the age of the trucks. Wolf

Without reading me through all these threads, however, some I did read, I only can say, after several time ago and as I posted somewere else, I did read me throught the requirements for classic/historical/vintage vehicles of Wisconsin, I found that the requirements are almost the same as over...
