All these engineer who drive their locos throu the snow are somewhar hwroes fro they never did konow how the jounney ends. they are at least at the same level as the heroes who fought inthe previous wars. My respect to them unknown! Wolf

These guys are worth the miles, no matter on which side they fought. I have this experiance from the beaches of Normandie. They did all their very best for their country! Keep them in memory! Wolf

I do not think that the metal part in the T-case is falty. To my understanding the cable itself to some reason is too short inside to make a real safe drive of the speedo. This happens some reare times. The siutable repair is to replace the speedo drive cable.To my experiance the shops say that...

After checking the pics again, the A3 - trailers should have additionally a hight adjustable landing gear. Wolf

Nothing to argue! M101/116 had the WWII stile park brake levers and 5 stud 9.00-16 wheels. A101A1/M116A1 had the over the dead centre park brake levers and 9.00-16 5 stud wheels. M101A2/M116A2 where equiped with overrun breaking devices (also called inertia brake device) with the A1 park brake...

Did you check whether the starter is propperly tight. Depending on rpm this sometime gives some vibrations which will be in a resonance with a non propperly tight air filter housing which will create unknown noise. If the tread of the studs is used, means the nuts can not span the air filter...

It is the oil sampling valve. It is nice to have, but you realy do not need it if you can not test the sample. Wolf from Germany

To my understanding the fuel pump should be ok. Also the filter should not be the problem, else the fuel would run away behind the filter for the injection pump is pressure feed. Also the little 4 blade pump on the injection pump to my understanding is working propperly. When the fuel lines are...

To find a wife that liks to drive the green stuff in the old stile (means no power assists) is like a first price in a national loterie. I know only very few of them. And they have been infected by their fathers with the green virus. Wolf

Very usefull help for all of us. Thank you! Wolf

You are a specialist. According to the engine manual, the fuel pump can be replaced only when the engine is out. This is not true! I also replaced the fuel pump once with the engine in the truck. However, I never had a problem with the engine mounts. To our experiance over here the pre glow...

Her sometimes you find these plates on the flee markt as Army surplus! Wolf from Germany

Rustfree M715 for a 40+ year old truck..... Thats a dream. I never saw one..... Only 12 to 14 years old, rust was already eating a lot of the truck due to poor rust preventation of the maker. Ignore the conservation labels. All I found were not worth the money to make them. But I own one anyway...

Thats my idea, arround 1500 bucks or 1200 euro. Wolf

Transmission filter set is standard THM400 kit. Should be awailable in the auto parts shop or they can order it. You need it anyway. The cork seal is not awailable seperately. Retie two or three times with a lot of feeling after several days of use, else the transmission will become an oil well...

The manual says, as said, the M416A2 trailer. The axle ratio of 3.07 is not really the axle to pull a lot. If you check the catalouges of the K5, allways be aware of the axle ratio mentioned in relation of the gross combination weight. I own catalouges from the early 80th and they even do not...

M109guy offers the only solution which would be legal in Germany. All other solutions, especially home made, are not legal over here! The designe and the strenght must be legaly tested and approved. The procedure is not only expensive, also very often results in a failure, which means redesigne...

Meine Antwort ist ganz einfach! Wie auf dem Bild zu sehen, besitze ich einen Kaiser Jeep M715 mit M101A1 Anhaenger, den Kaiser seit 1982, den Anhänger jetzt 10 Jahre. Anyway, to make is easyer for you, I have some bussiness in the States, with a maker of green-yellow machines (Sorry to the...

If the fan belts are new/allmost new and in propper tension, replace the regulator and the diode plate in Gen 1. 5that helps. The Delco stuff is junk due to experiance since summer 1992. I rebuilt altinators something like every 5000 to 10000 miles, sometimes Gen 1, sometimes Gen 2, sometimes...

M38inmaline is correct! If you own the propper tooling, it is not a so big event to take out the IP. If you know something about IP's and have a good pictural memory, the disassembel and reassemble of the IP with replacing all seals from the repair kit should take between 30 to 45 minutes (my...
