How wide is this ? Over 102" and it becomes a permit move with six states involved. I doubt you can get anyone to do this for the $2,000 quoted. LOL

Diesel trucks invariably have over drive transmissions, gassers are direct in high. Od units have direct drive in the rear on then right side and od (high) gear in the front. You would notice this when driving if you pull the stick to the rear and downshift at the same time. Transmission is full...

If you measured to quanity of oil put in the engine when refilling it the level is typically 1-2" above the full mark on the dip stick. Drive the truck and when it is shut down check oilk and is should be on full mark. Aftyer vehicle sits over night oil should be above the full mark prior to...

Tank must be 1500 gallons and extra springs were added as this is enough water to way overload stock suspension. But if they did not change axles or brakes it is still capable of being loaded beyond capacity. Appears to be a gas job retrofitted with diesel engine and enough unengineered...

The M911s and freightliners have differrent keys than the M 915 & other crane carrier Am General varients, but they are all supposed to be keyed alike. However, it was possible to find individual trucks that had been rekeyed with different codes for some reason and then you had to have the key...

Also vehicle in picture appears not to be an M113. Foreign ? Different track, lights too low for M113, M113 does not have upper idler wheels shown in photos.

Also consider using 4ea screw neck or rachet chain binders in lieu of the over the center kind in hte photos. You can never get 4 binders evenly adjusted otherwise. Use chains with grab hooks on each end. If the chain is too long trap the excess between the hooks on the chain binder and secure...

Ft. Dix in 1970 had its compliment of cattle cars, usually pulled by a ford 4x2 tmp tractor. As in some of the pictures, the air horn was mounted on the front of the trailer and apparantly operated it with a solenoid powered through the spare or blue circut in the trailer harness. None of the...

Like DaveP said 900 series trucks have straight airbrakes and all this about hydrovacs does not apply. If brakes on one axle do not release check quick release valve for that axle (mounted on frame above axle) for operation. this is where the air vents to hte atmosphere when brakes are released...

Does this truck have a gun ring ? a long rod would be required to hold a hood up on a gun riing equipped truck. Triangle appears to be a unit crest that was paintexd over; similar to a shoulder patch.

Power up to the switch ? if so jump from the hot lead to another position on the plug and see if anything lights up."f" on the plug is power in and "m" is the headlight circut. switch also has its own circut breaker which if tripped wouild suggest a short.

Had a similar problem here with body not going up and determined trunion that raises spool in control valve was not moving enough to raise spool to route fluid to cylinder. If you pushed it up from below with your finger it would work. Lengthened one of the rods by turning clevis out and problem...

Has anyybody think of hydrostaic lock on this ? Leave switch on, electrtic transfer pump fills one cylinder in engine up with fuel, especially if fuel shut of valve leaks, crank engine over and break piston or rod in that cylinder when fuel does not compress between piston and head. And you...

Body appears to be stainless steel and is too high for a m49 (fuel) or m50 (water) tanker. Lack of air cleaner or exhaust suggests gas job. Size of tank would suggest if it is filled you will overload the chassis and create a high center of gravity that will facilitate a roll over.

Try jacking up a front wheel with air shift engaged and turn wheel opposite forward direction of rotation and see if it locks up.

WW2 cckw dumps had a partion in the body to limit the material that could be loaded to protect from overloading the truck chassis or the hoist. I think a yard oif gravel weighs 3000 pounds so adding sideboards should allow for rapid overloading of the chassis or the hoist. Now if you are hauling...

You have correctly identified the problem of changing the transmission in a m809: the air controls between the transmission and transfer case that orient the transfer to which direction of travel the transmission is in. If you are going to delete the transfer and front wheel drive to accomodate...

make that m 114 not m 14. was called a scout vehicle i think.

SOUNDS LIKE AN M 14 FROM THE DESCRIPTION. "FRONT THINGY" IS THE PARAVANE WHICH M 113 And m 114 share which keeps bow wave from going over top of front of vehicle when it is swimming and droiwning vehicle.

Picked up a trailer load of new hummers two years ago going to tobyhanna depot and they all came from the factory with three lever switchs.
