Ugg013, next time you answer to someone who is NOT a native speaker of American English, please think about the possible interpretation! Wolf

Ugg013, I know very well that they (means any kind of users) modified the Doges to their needs. I also konw that they used anything which they got on hand. I kindly asked whether the extentions and the winch are Original! I expected a serious answer! I worked many years ago on these vehicles...

Looks like more than a nice winter work. Good luck! Save the truck!

Nice commander! But the frame extentions and the winch, are they original? I have a different designe in mind.

Sorry, but I'm not shure with the tractor. The front end is not visible. According to my manuals it should be a M425, IH Model H542-9. The tank and the mirror details fit to that. Reference: TM 9-2800-1, issue February 1953, page 264. Maybe that helps.

A little command on tires: The military tires are made to last very many years (weather US-made or Germany made), even so called cracks in the sidewall not necessarily mean, they are unusealble. Main killer for tires is sunlight. I melts the wax in the rubber out. Than the tires more easily...

RE: M35 recovery vehicle Your Ural is of the actual production with much better quality and fulfills modern emission standards. These run normally without bigger trouble.

Nice fire trucks, all of then! No space...... Your question: You sometimes still find here and there a former military fire truck. I know at least 2 on the Lahr Airport (former Canadian airfield, nowadays Black Forrest Airport). But no pics, sorry. Due to standardisation of European fire trucks...

RE: Spelling and look uo Sorry, the brake system is a civilian brake system at those Canadian armord ACTROS. And basic of this system works since 1996 not to bad (MAN and IVECO uses the same brake system suppliers). Of course, if you hit a mine a hose or so will be blown of (but the wheel is...

Sorry, misunderstood: The line for the rear axles remain unchanged. The line for the front axle also. After the air over hydraulic master, there is a simple seperation of the lines required. The T is taken out and two lines added to the new master cylinder. The line fron the brake padel remains...

The alternators are 12 Volt 100 Amps standard stuff (57 Amps will also do it, if you do not serve a military radio). The system is relatively simple: the left generator serves the front batterie, the right generator the rear batterie. Together 24 Volts. For harness details check TM...

Nice picture ot the Brasil ENGESA CCKW 353 GMC conversion. This photo was publisched in THE OBSERVER'S MILITARY VEHICLE DIRECTORY from 45. The rear axle boogy is the beefed up spring with a walking beam system added, also bigger tires, In the US-section of the directory there are several 8x8...

You simply can do it with any kind of vehicle, if you find the proper slope or curve at inpropper speed, or other way round, with the proper speed to tilt it! Besonders auf Schmittchens Spielwiese (Sorry, there in the States, that sentence is for the guy in Karlsruhe). The Volvo's are not that...

Sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings or pride or doubted in anybody's qualification on military vehicles. :cry: But if I read about probelms, which are realy old and at least in Germany a long time ago served, I silightly start do doubt a little bit on this and that...... Anyway, the tip on...

OK, sorry, I mixed it up. But I'm not a native English speaker! Wir können das auch auf Deutsch machen, da bin ich deutlich besser! Anyway, the regulator is standard stuff! Wolf

Jump start a 24 Volt vehicle with 12 Volt only works, if at least one of the two batteries is in usable condition! That's what the diagrams of the other guys show. Remember: If the engine is not perfect on compression and the injection pump and the injectors do not work very perfect, you WILL...

The alternator are a standard civilian used 100 Amps Generator(not alternator, for it is three phases! Alternator means AC output!). The regulator is some standard stuff which was also used in Germany by Opel. So in the States it should be no problem to get the parts. May be you auto parts shop...

You should have bought new batteries yesterday!

I once had a Hanomg engine for more than 20 years in my M715. I quit it for the injection pump housing was not seviceable any more and the other spare parts for the engine were not available any more. So I installed at second restauration a 6.2 litre Detroit Diesel engine, which I bought factory...

Nice to hear about - Sorry- read about problems which we served in Germany at laest 10 yeas ago. Glow plug contollers fail latest at 120,000 miles. The glow plugs are 2.8 Volts with an pre installed registore. Glowing time is a max of 6 secondes, the seat belt fixing busser is close to that...
