ready to go for a local town parade today. The town American Legion is going to borrow the HMMWV and the new trailer.

I had to replace two when I changed tires. Drove them out with a hammer. The put the new ones in when I tighten the halves together, just do your best to line up the swage in the hole… ohh and I used standard, not deformed lock nuts to do the initial tighten, then replaced with lock nuts once...

Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for.

I just finished repainting my M1101, and now I need to reassemble it. I can't find a diagram anywhere that shows the cargo cover bow parts, specifically the screws/bolts required to hold the solid metal chunks (3) that go between the bows. (Mine had simple pointed machine screws in them, they...

For a 4 man, you need the C pillar, the side frame and the parts that span both sides... Assuming you have that, then you can get a NOS (or reproduction) from Seco, Eastern, and other places. BlueOx makes them out of good material and will even customize them. If you need the hardware, then...

Minnesota law is as long as the vehicle has a civilian equivalent of size and weight it can be registered. You’ll need the SP97, pictures of all four corners, the serial number plate and likely the weight plate. The state may require you to bring it to an inspection station to verify the...

Well using some pictures from the Govplanet auctions, I repainted my M1101 today. Timelaps of it, took me about 5 1/2 hours to prep and paint it all. I did the inside of the box 383 Green, outside the 3 color camo pattern. Rapco Paint

I havn't remove the shaft from the steering box. So I very well may be wrong there. The pitman is usually keyed, so that doesn't surprise me. It's the steering wheel though, I swear mine wasn't keyed... (It's splined for sure) but I may simply not be remembering it correctly. (I pulled mine...

Unlike my airbag filled Jeep, there is no aligned clock spring in the HMMWV. So steering wheel can be 'anywhere' and still be fine as long as the steering box, and wheels are centered properly. (Most vehicles they need the steering wheel centered on the steering box input so that the clock...

Mine was aligned at a local shop, they just set it up like an early H1 all the settings were already in their alignment machine. My fronts are nice and even, and camber was well within H1 specs. Rear wears a bit uneven (due to the camber), but as long as you rotate tires fairly often shouldn't...

Any shop that has a wide enough tire alignment jig (often a commercial shop) can do it. Note, for the sake of your wallet, toe is the only thing you should have adjusted on the rear. (Caster isn't adjustable, and camber requires physical shims to be added/subtracted and this is where it can...

Before I knew any better, I bought a correctly marked washer pump.. 23 months later, the pump rotted out inside and is now shorting to ground, and destroyed the switch on the washer motor. (So THIS TIME, I went to one of the well know sellers of 'real' goods and bought a new one. Hopefully...

Finally got my pioneer tool kit done with a little woodworking help from my father. Light stain, just to give some color to the handles. 5 coats of exterior polyurethane, 383 Green for the axe head, and the flat black for the shovel, and pick axe head. I think it came out really well, and if...

I just got new door skins, and realized the weather seal on my doors is pretty damaged in spots. Started looking for new seals and so far I'm failing. The weather seal for the soft doors in TM-9-230-280-24P (part 1), figure 316, is part #12. Listed as: 21022103-150IN So a bulk seal, 150in...

I see they have a 10x2 as well, but 5 amps should be enough for the HMMWV batteries AFAIK.

I see there is a 'x2' charger as well. Do you know if you can safely charge the two 12V batteries without unhooking them from the vehicle? I.e. Port 1 to +/- of leading battery Port 2 to +/- of trailing battery - trailing to the vehicle. + of middle to 12V of vehicle and + of leading to...

For me it's well pump, fridge, networking gear and computers. In the past I had a portable generator that fried my UPS, the voltage and Hz swings were just too much and killed the regulator in the UPS. (I work from home, so the computers and house not freezing in the winter are keys!) I was...

I found this on how to adjust the fuel delivery. I _MIGHT_ try this to drop it slightly: https://flashoffroad.com/Diesel/injectionpump/mechanicalpump.htm I've not tried this, and I'm not even sure I will.. but just adding it so if someone comes across this in the future the reference I found...

Ya, I certainly misunderstood that it was a generator and thus had a higher duty cycle.... The big problem I have with traditional generators is the power is dirty between voltage and Hz. For a lot of usages that isn't a problem, but for motors (like a well pump), I'd be concerned it could...

No I 100% don't want the wrong pump in there. What I'm trying to assess is what is going to go wrong with having the wrong pump in there. Is this pump going to cause damage to the engine? Do I need to stop driving it NOW? Do I need to plan to replace it this summer, this fall, winter, next...
