I got one injector out but I really need to have apuller to get the others out. I'm going to see if I can get...

    M923 on fire

I'm going out today do do anthing I can to prevent any shorts and insure the battery box is well ventllated. If I where to venture a wild guess it would be a short of some kind. possible rodent gnawing. I...

    Stryker's, M923a1.

    My convex almost completely blocks the regular mirror on the right side. I was thinking of moving the convex to the diagonal bar. Love the idea of putting a mirror right side on the hood. I've been standing up in my seat to see if anybody is in that blind spot. I've also seen a mirror mounted...

    I went as far as I could go. I dropped the IP off at a diesel shop. The guy says he has experience with Bosch pump locked up rack gears. He said it is actually froze up pistons. Me thinks it is a case of bad oil and sitting for so long. B.T.W. I have never seen so many mud dobber nests in my life.

    I apologize for the jumbled and run together text. I noticed on an earlier post that after I spell check It scrambles everything. I have to go back and fix it. I composed my last reply on my word processor then spelled checked. Re-read the post then cut and past to the site. Now I see I still...

    I very much appreciate the time yourspending to help me, Thank you. Our start up lists are exactly thesame. But I didn't replace manual prime pump. I took it apart andcleaned it. I didn't notice any bleed screw on the fuel input area ofthe IP. I did crack the fuel line at the pump and bleed...

    Removing GL Bill of Lading Pouches

    Here is the picture of the crank case tumor:-D. The other picture is pointing to the IJ rack gear. I assume you should ba able to gently push it back and forth. Crorrect me if I am wrong. Please correct me on this, You should get fuel out of the port on top where the pump to injector tube goes...

    No fuel

    Made good progress yesterday in-spiteof having to give several army truck tours. Gota keep the neighborhappy. Was able to separate the governor assembly from the pump bodywith the pump still attached to the engine. It appears that the rackgear is locked up in the fuel off position. The next...

    No fuel

    I too off the lift pump dissembled, cleaned and reinstalled. Didn't see anything remarkable. There is defiantly fuel running through the IJ via the lift pump. Removed #1 feed tubed and cranked, nothing. The chances of what ever is wrong is times 6 is possible but not likely. The question is...

    No fuel

    Having studied the Tm's I decided to bite the bullet and attack the injector pump. Taking it step by step with the final solution being replacing the pump. The second major step to this goal is tilting the cab. The TM gives great step by step instructions. I already did the first step, removing...

    No fuel

    I'm trying to get my MOG running. It is obvious it hasn't run for many many years. The fuel smells like burnt gear oil. The tank is badly varnished. I've cleaned the sediment bowl, replaced the two fuel filters and blew out the line from the tank end to the input side of the filter housing. The...

    USARV markings

    It would warm the cockles of my heart to badge my M944 with USARV Qui Nhon, Quincy Coumpound, headquarters badging. Guess where I was in the early 70's. I would like your opinion. The big thing is that M944 wasn't around in the early 70"S. It would not be historically correct. In any case could...

    Over 12 Foot Wide Deuce

    I live on a corner lot just out side city limits. I plan on parking My M944 with the 5 ton flat bed trailer attached with the MOG on the trailer on my front/side lawn. What a site!! I have wonderful neighbors. They will more than likely come over to admire the site. I might set up a popcorn stand!

    MEP 002A Newbie

    An absolutly perfect solution at a resonable price! Not only do you save on having to buy a huge transfer switch but also the hassel and expense of installing it. Thanks Jerry
