Really need to know what kind of oil to put in it. John put 90 weight but I think that's too heavy w/ an external oil pump. The HEMTT uses 40 weight, I know it's a different case.

I just went through the same thing. The suction hose on the T-case oil pump was kinked. Everyone check theirs! What oil are you LVS owners running in your T-cases?

Good thing they just cut up 4500 of them in Pa.

If something gives me a headache I usually stop doing it. rivercreek, I'll be at my shop by 8am tomorrow.

I looked at my controller. It has 70 some pin outs and w/o a wiring diagram it would take days to find the right combination to test. I don't want to open it up and risk breaking the seal if not necessary.

I used the Scanreco 8 Button Pocket. I got it through: http://www.ohiopowersys.com/radio-remotes.html It is an on/off function but it didn't matter in the hook loader function I was using it for. They have systems for cranes but they get pricy. I was able to control the fast idle on the engine...

I can this weekend. I was going to do the same thing for a M18A1 but I found wireless remote system easier, cheaper and....well....wireless. Jeff

It was a 300 Cummins. They do not have a divorced T-case. The trans/transfer is one unit. I would guess its a standard SAE bell housing that would allow an engine swap.

Get them to send you an insurance rider listing your truck. Typical antique insurance won't like to hear you were on a production for hire. It's always better to work directly with the production company. You don't have to be union because you are an owner/operator.

For some reason the military did not want to use the Cat fuel filter that hangs there under the breather. They have a remote filter. Ignore it.

I'm looking to get some shipped east. Any one going that can help?

I guess there's no mention of higher amperage requirements in the instructions? Or are there any instructions?

http://tankstogo.com/vsov.htm Wrong coast, not sure if Cors has one for sale.

Wang has one for sale thru Uhrig http://armyjeeps.net/T55NewA/russian_t55_main_battle_tank.htm

Extremely easy. Tapped into the electric solenoid valves on the existing valve body and also the fast idle switch. Ran about $800.

I couldn't find a remote anywhere so I installed a modern remote. Works great and you can add extra functions. http://www.ohiopowersys.com/radio-remotes.html I used the Scanreco 8 button. It works the existing valve on the MK18A1 perfectly and fits in your pocket.

Any one know panzerbob? I've been trying to get a Little Joe out of him for quite a while.

Pete, you've got the only remote for one of those I've ever seen. Know of any others?

John Sorry I haven't got back to you. We put a M18A1 loader on a HEMTT. There's a thread somewhere about it. The loader on the MK18A1 is designed mainly for bridge sections and sea containers. The load is guided by the outside rails. The rollers at the rear have a few different configurations...

Come on Jeff, you know new style steering is not correct for Vietnam....:p Amazing to think that truck could have been in service for 50 years.
