First, MTVR and your brother and al other LEOs and first line support people here, certainly in this times: :not worthy:. Forget about the words in the smiley, just see the bow: thanks to all of you for the very hard and difficult work you do under emotionally circumstances. In Europe, we...

Does a MWO applied to all trucks of that type makes it as of that moment, legally at least, an OEM issue? I would say that it is something similar to a factory recall for private cars.

Technical Manual (TM) MWO 9-2320-200-35-1 Modifying Working Order effective date 1 October 1988 and completion date is 30 November 1992. Modification of 2 1/2-Ton and 5-Ton vehicles. . My M51A2 got the seat belts while in the POMS depot in the Netherlands, in 1991.

Hit a concrete bridge part once in 1985, with 50 mph, something like an off-center frontal accident, on the driver side. Thought I could stretch out the hood and continue until I saw the front driver side. Front wheel was more or less folded against the cabin. I did not had anything apart from a...

Anyway, shortened the rod linking the control box and the rear transfer shifter, and tried to straighten out the PTO lever on the box. Almost there and then this The lever broke!! auaauaauaaua On the right, a bit hard to see, you see that on top there is fresh brake marks, but most of the...

What surprises me is that an engine with that kind of damage runs at all, and with so little "damage noise". If a sleeve disintegrates like that, doesn't that mean that one cylinder is more or less wobbling free through the block, and the diesel mixture exploding directly into your block?

That's the real orange one I was talking earlier over. In the Netherlands, yesterday was "Kings Day", or better said, "Orange Day", a national celebration day to celebrate the birthday of our reigning monarch. Normally, the whole of the Netherlands more or less colors orange and changes into...

Migginsbros, what's the 5-ton dump truck in that pic, also yours? Is it an M51A2, like mine?

Jeff, that noise wasn't too bad, now its time to :grd: although to be honest, sometimes an old as+-is truck is nicer and has more esprit than a perfectly restored better than brand-new looking 77 year old truck. What is your final plan for this beauty?

Dump hoist control box, some better pics. First of all, the control box lever moving the shifter shaft for the PTO is slightly twisted. It is a bit removed from the box, I was already trying to take it off before making the pic. More important. looking at the pics in the TM and the different...

mil-std-129L section 4.4.9. But this talks about affixing a board or gluing a plastic cover onto a vehicle.

When I tried to figure out some new tags I found on my truck, I ran into a "packaging" TM for all kind of military things to be shipped somewhere, including "movable vehicles". It stated that, in the case of vehicles, the markings or shipping details should be attached at the front of the...

I tried byut you have to sign in and I don't have an account (and don't want to).

What did you use to "shoot" at him? Nice to see a tank do a 180

Working alone when you actually are not young enough for this kind of #$%$ anymore. A lot of us now been there and are trying to do that. Great project - live work. Vtdeucedriver did a thread on Gun truck Brutus. It is good that both in real live and in this forum the history and value of...

No reply yet? Nobody who want to paint their MV in 1960s correct OD 24087 (or changed to 24084 in RFS595B) and found a current US color code for it? In a 2007 thread (21 pages) I found one formula in reply to the question " for Vietnam Era semi gloss OD 24087...QUARKZ" ). No idea what the...

Wrestling myself through 15 years of paint and color code threads and linked threads, I came across one which might interest-help somebody: If you plan to use the unexpected free time for some painting of your MV, maybe this can help you Sherwin Williams promo codes and Sherwin Williams...

Yep, the only little problem is ... getting the @#$#%$^$%#$ paint.

Mckoen, I have a very weak spot for old Austins, mainly because I owned two Austin Westminster 105s while I was in Canada driving along the Alaska Highway with it. Unfortunately, I have an even weaker spot for big rusty trucks with long noses, specially when they are looking orange (Dutch...
