Got my first M-146 today and hooked it up to my M931A1. After taking care of the dust bunnies I went through the wiring and got everything in order to road travel. A sweet looking rig, even came with a copy of the "Barracks Life" circa 1980. rofl
I looked into these, almost got one. Paul at GL said he had no idea what they were for either. I bet they were some sort of roll cage for electronics equipment and that's what made it have an EUC too.
Jeepsinker is on a recovery at the moment but I can fill in with my experiences until he gets back. I bought 3x M35A2Cs (probably the same batch of trucks as yours) at Hooks. There's guaranteed to be dead batteries and low/no fuel, the Airforce check list confirmed this. All fluids were good on...

Post 27. I'd personally go with the ZXL's if you were going to buy new tires, they look meaner and are plenty-full since they usually come new on MRAP rims.
Looks like your seat warmer function worked as intended ntxcop. :whistle: But yes are correct, you can run these trucks off of 2 batteries instead of the 4.
Not to hijack this thread but I'd be nervy riding on those XL's and they seem to always be in a state of decay if not dead flat. $100 isn't a bad price pending tread % and if you need a tube or not. I wouldn't mind putting them on a trailer or something light weight but never on a steer tire...
1. No EUC on these trucks. You'll get an invoice probably Monday-Tuesday.
2. Assume no fluids are present, batteries are dead if not missing - unknown. The 6TML style batteries require a deep cycle charger and a lot of time to revive if they even come back. Purchase any two top post style...
I have to back out this year. :x The museum should have a great turn out though, I just stopped by for business and they are putting together two WWI tanks for the show.
THANKS!!
..but seriously I must give a public thank you to NDT who helped me get my M916 recovered.. A few troubles, a few trips, but ultimately a few calls to him made the difference in getting the "Ugly Duckling" moving. For those who don't know it has the 16 speed Cat 7155 Semi-Automatic in...
To conclude this thread the dryer was the main culprit. Rebuilding the purge valve helped but ultimately the assembly has to be capped off to build enough pressure.
