Thanks guys!

Ok here is the deal... M1038 I relocated the battery box to under the hood, and had new battery cables made. I'm going to be pulling out the battery box as I'm mounting new Isringhausen seats in all positions... SO I disconnected the ground block and pulled the wires off the back... starter...

As I stated, we have one HMMWV and we know very little about it... I've read that the conversion to provide a true Park, and more speeds requires a new transmission, and engine and harness...

I have a 6.5 NA in my HMMWV and been seeing a lot about the 6.5L GEPs... What is involved in the conversion? What would I need? Searched YouTube and forums, lots of info post conversion... couldn't find anything about one...

Hey all, Attached you will find a diagram from the Marine Corps TM 08780B-34 We are having problems with my Mk48, as we lost all hydraulic power, and steering... pump is still working but high pressure not working. Mechanic thinks the seals between the high pressure and low pressure system...

Need advice guys... We've been using the Mk48/15a1 for work on all the tanks... SO we were using her to drop the tranny back in the T-55AM2, and bam... the Mk48 will not idle up to allow sufficient crane operation... someone has to sit in the cab and push the pedal to get the revs up... this is...

Oh also... A better option is a BMP... all day. Easy to drive, easy to maintain, room for friends, and much easier to move.

Stay away from Mortar Investments... Read my post / Sticky on buying armor overseas. The 45k T-34/85 as in rough shape... it would take a lot of money to bring her back. It could be done however. How do I know? I bought the PT76 from the same auction. If you are too big to fit in a T55...

Hey all, If one of you bought the three Mk48 Oshkosh wrecker crates, I really need one... My wrecker is complete except for the two huge chains that go to the A frame... I had a family emergency and while flying down the interstate for 6 hours, totally forgot about the auction... I'd gladly...

Congratulations! I also just bought a PT-76B! Look forward to talking about our new acquisitions!

Great question... I've owned a Leopard 1A4, have a Chieftain Mk10, and a Pz61, and have been on and around the M60, and Centurion, all contemporaries of the Soviet tanks I have... The Russian tanks are definitely cruder, they were NOT interested in crew comfort or even survivability for that...

Hey all, Attached are pics of our newest acquisition, an amphibious PT-76 Russian tank... Its been a dream for a long time to acquire a PT-76, and the day finally came... Now despite an unload at 0 degrees, she's sitting in her new home! Now if we could locate an IS-3 and a T-64, our Soviet...

I'm being told its a HEMTT engine...

So the cores are the same? Gonna drop a new reman 8V92TA in as well... might as well go big or go home...

Dropped a line to Oshkosh, hopefully we'll get an official response... I have two Mk48 Rad cores... so we'll see... Thanks all! Will document here what I find.

Hey all... Well the HEMTT needs a new radiator, or at least the core... Does anyone know if the core out of a MK48 will work in the HEMMT? If not, anyone know where a HEMTT radiator can be found? Thanks!

Well after a year, we're putting the transmission back into the T-55AM2! The Mk48/15a1 proved yet again how incredibly useful and powerful she is... a few pics...

I know Bob very well, he's a good guy... tell him I said hi! He knows me as Dave Bane though, not Augdog1964! LOL

It can, its just expensive and complicated... so you try to deal with reputable people, and even they burn you sometimes!

Prices are insane for a reason... I've personally lost $50,000 and two vehicles to Richard Moore in the UK... who conveniently declared bankruptcy after he got my money... A friend of mine "bought" a Chieftain, paid in full, and magically it was sold to another individual in country... oh so...
