This is from an ad that arr'd in my inbox today. I thought this was a creative fix for, say, an SUV or M37. Sez that you could heat it and straighten it. :shock: Steve

I'm wondering if anyone has further information on this. There's one at the USS Ling Museum in Hackensack that needs some fix up, but I'm having a lot of difficulty finding anything on the equipment, the manufacturer, etc. There's a different model at the USS Cod in Ohio, very nicely done. The...

I've been offered a rim/tire from a '98 Chevy 2500 series. It's 16" w/ 8 lugs on 6 1/2" centers but the hub is - for lack of a better word 'scalloped', not round. I'm going to try to mount it this weekend to see if it matches up. I thought I'd inquire here if anyone has run into one of these...

Weather has work schedules messed up and I might get called in over top of my p/u appointment. Trailer has a flat; I can pickup Saturday, 2/8 w/ replacement (hopefully in the area or north.) Would also appreciate reputable local flatbed tow referrals. Email or PM w/ phone and I'll call back...

I've looked at a number of these but they're all either fender-less or have only diamond plate fenders, steps, decks, and the like. That seems too modern to fit with my other 50s -> 70s equipment. Roughly when were the M200s introduced? (Can't seem to find that.) Were they made with...

Now Scott already posted this great photo of his 5 ton in Flemington yesterday, but it needed to be included here, too 'cause he's one of us. He just won't readily admit he's the SAA.This is My M813A1 in the Memorial Day Parade in Flemington NJ , 2013 There were quite a few of us out and...

I'm trying to identify the equipment or engine that this oil filter supports. P/N is SA-15417 NSN is 2940-00-364-4956 (covers this one and apparently a bunch of other numbers and mfrs.) filter size is 3 3/4" across and 4 1/4" high Just can't seem to tie that information to the equipment...

My gas tank has too much rust in it. I'm going to clean it out and I can also have it relined or purchase one. However, on G741 I read of several guys who've used modern ones from Econolines, Broncos, S-10 Blazers, etc. Those are about 20% of the cost bought new and could let me resolve a...

I've spent quite a bit of time over the weekend looking up safety chain topics here and on Google. I found quite a few accident reports where the chains did or would have improved things. However, all were with ball hitches where the trailer wasn't properly seated, the locking mechanisms...

I have the old style hydraulic-side stop light switch and it shorted out. I need to replace it. I know about the air side upgrade but that's not what I'm after at this point. It looks to me like both the hydraulic side and air side stop light switches have the same P/N in the TMs, but that...

I've read most of the dust boot threads but I can't quite find a definitive answer to this question: Am I pushing my luck running a couple hundred miles with splits in the front boots? I'm scheduled for a parade on Sunday and have another event coming up in a couple of weeks. Total will be...

I think I read all the boot threads as well as the -20. For the life of me I can't figure out where the safety wire mentioned is supposed to go or what kind/gauge wire I should use. Boots didn't come in a kit - just boots. Can anybody enlighten me? Thanks. Steve

While replacing a rear brake line yesterday, I found that the female thread in the connector was stripped where the line connects. I've gotten a parts list from Vintage as well as Cabell's NAPA numbers for the washers. I'm reading through the TMs and it looks like the hollow bolt threads on to...

My truck came with a crimped brake line & the replacements so I'm working through the repairs. Only some are covered in the downloadable manuals and my CD hasn't arrived from MilitaryManuals yet. - Wheel cyls aren't leaking so I'm putting off replacement. Is there a NAPA number for the wheel...

Questions 1st, explanation 2nd; TM highlighted below. I don't think this duplicates another thread. - Does anyone know a NAPA or other civilian part # for transfer case bushings/mounts (12 & 19 in the TM)? - Is there anything special about the bolts, nuts, and washers that go with them...

I'd appreciate any comments on the theory above and the test I ran below. I took the truck on an 80 mile r/t run last Saturday and noted that the right rear tandem was much hotter than any other wheel. After about 20 - 25 secs, you wanted to take your hand off. This was the 1st real run since...

Removing Silvery Primer (???) Under Tire Shine? The shop that sandblasted my M105 thought they were doing me a favor and put on some kind of tire shine. I wasn't thrilled but figured it would wear off quickly. When I 1st saw it, I commented and the office guy didn't say what it was but that...

I'm looking at a couple of lots that close in a couple of days at this location and from the pictures they're on pallets but probably need strapping/shrink wrapping for shipping. I called the local services on the GL site but none do only packing. They want the freight, too. I've got a real...

I honestly tried to figure this out from thread searches, TMs, and attachments. I'm not making enough headway. This is a rewrite/update from one I placed in (and just deleted from) the Deuce forum a week ago. It didn't get any action. When I bought my truck, it had Truck-Lite clearance...

I need to replace the curb side, rear tandem wheel cylinder. I don't want to be delayed waiting for parts this time of year. I've read through the TMs for the procedure and I have a brake line hose, DOT5 & a cylinder. However, I figure I need at least the following on hand for recommended...
