Pics as promised! The first few are of my hydraulic motor rebuild. I took it all apart again in order to replace all of the o-rings and lubricate it with petroleum jelly as directed. It is a good thing I did because the check valves had water contaminated oil in them and were pretty gunked...

Thanks Bill! I had a good work day yesterday. There was around 6-8" of snow and ice on the ground, but thankfully the sun was out and it warmed up into the 30's pretty quickly. I focused on a lot of little projects to make it road legal/safe. First thing I did was install longer 1/4" bolts...

Nice camo job, Jason! Did you chalk it out using the TM or are you free-handing it from photos? I am headed out now to work on my truck. It's only 16* out so that should be fun.

Found this on Unimog.net tonight. It is a 5-ton winch with adapter and Char-Lynn hydraulic motor. Great price! FOR SALE 20'000 lb Hydraulic winch, new eaton motor, no wear on drum or fairlead, fresh epoxy paint, $750. Greg Bess, 315-416-0452...

Dragonman, the NSN is 5340010841232 and P/N is 12276904 for the BRACKET, MOUNTING as described in the TM. I have the motor numbers listed above. rwoods, that's good to know about the 19 cid alternative. The price is much better! runk, I decided to open my motor. You can read all about it in...

OK folks, I need a lot of items picked up from Mechanicsburg, PA. The items are laying on 2 pallets, but are light enough to be moved by hand, leaving the pallets behind. There are 3 pulley assemblies, one tire/wheel, one manifold for a laundry trailer, and 6 impellers around 18" in diameter...

Didn't the first M35A3 released go for $40k+? I was thinking it was some crazy number. Then they were in the 20's, then teens, and now under 8 grand. If they end up releasing more FMTV's, then they should trend down in price as well. I'll wait until they get under $10k. :)

Right on, Neil! I had a little time last night to work on the hydraulic motor that powers the winch. I messed with it the other day getting the bent and broken hydraulic hose fittings off of it. I couldn't spin the shaft by hand and it was very hard to turn even with a strap wrench. I...

I had a 404S Funkwagen or radio-truck a few years back. I swapped the bed for a cargo bed and had a blast with it. They are geared like tractors, so don't expect to go drag racing. They also have portal axles and front and rear lockers so they will off-road in stock form like nothing else I...

Thanks Dwight! Jason, glad you got a chance to see it again. Hopefully I'll be able to take you for a spin before too long! Kevin, those boxes are definitely a better fit in the bed of a 5-ton. Too bad they are so dang heavy we had to use a Bobcat to load them [thumbzup] I am hoping to...

Sounds great. Congrats on getting a group together. I talked about it with a few people when I was living in Charleston, but never got around to doing it. I will be moving back in-state here in a couple of weeks so I will have to come down for a meeting. I will be in the Clarksburg area so...

Here are some photos of my hydraulic motor from my M925A2. As mentioned before, it is a Char-Lynn pump by Eaton. The Char-Lynn P/N on my tag is 109-1094-004 or 11669777 in military format. The Char-Lynn number listed in the TM is 109-1094-106 or NSN 4320011376293. The last three digits of...

Thanks Bruce! I had a productive day at John's today. My goal was to get all of the lights working, get the mirrors installed, and anything else I could lay my hands on. I got some Grote LED marker lights from Santa and have really been looking forward to putting those on. I started out...

Oh yeah, forgot about Bruce. Here's his post in a different thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?44481-purchase-guam-hawaii-3.html

She's a beaut! It will feel great to get that installed! How extensive was the rebuild? New liners, pistons, and bearings?

I only know of one member who has done that successfully. He goes by GIJoeCzar on SS. He is very knowledgeable about the whole process. He said it was very $$$ so I hope you got the 925 cheap. Did someone preview the truck for you? Some of those trucks look decent in GL pics, but are very...

Thanks! Now I can test drive it without worrying about losing all the stuff sitting on the bed :oops: That spray-on bed liner will need to be stripped off of the entire bed. There is rust forming anywhere it was cut or gouged. I need to figure out a more efficient way of stripping it off...

Well, since we got the bedsides and tailgate mounted on Sunday, I should be able to do some testing soon. I will try it on hard packed dirt/gravel first and then try the pavement.

Man, that is going to be so nice! I can't wait to get to that stage with my truck. Keep up the great work, Jason!

An A2! Great! I have seen worse put back together! Just look at my 925A2 thread :-D
