    Backfiring and not running without choke almost closed

    I feel your pain. Old tractors go afoul quickly with today's fuel. It sounds to me like you have a carb problem. But first deal with the ignition and get it dialed in as close as you can statically. Get the timing close, adjust the dwell as close as you can via the point gap. Now onto the fuel...

    I'll be darned, now I know what the tracked vehicle was that I saw in a junkyard in Northern Wisconsin 30 years ago.

    Converting an M931 to a Dump truck

    Thanks for the input on the stability. I had not even give it a thought beyond the axle is biased to the rear of the dump body footprint. Any load in the dump trailer is like BBQ on the rotisserie. Again, Thought and care need to be considered before each load with said dump trailer. Thanks...

    M931 driveablity

    After getting to take my fresh M931A2 out for my first drive today, :mrgreen:!! I enjoy the truck more in low range going forward, I like to hear the turbo spool up and whistle and feel the truck shifting through the gears. So when it comes time to go in reverse, I make sure the axle switch...

    Relocating The CTIS Cage on the M931A3

    I am contemplating Relocating The CTIS Cage on the M931A3 step to the space 3 o'clock of the air filter end, between it and the fuel tank. I need to add steps, closely spaced and perpendicular to entry of the cab, symmetrical central to a right and left grab handles, added to the inner door...

    Converting an M931 to a Dump truck

    I'm contemplating cutting a '56 F700 3 yard dump truck into a trailer with a 90,000 GVW lunnette ring to pull behind my M931A2 on that dandy pintle hitch. I'll leave the dump truck frame long to make it easier to back onto spots,

    939 hardtop in used condition from Hattiesburg, Mississippi (CSMDAVIS) to Madison WI

    Thanks a bunch for responding and consideration! I will contact CSMDavis and perhaps make a deal on a hardtop. I will keep you posted if anything develops one way or the other. Thanks again Dennis

    939 hardtop in used condition from Hattiesburg, Mississippi (CSMDAVIS) to Madison WI

    I would like to purchase a 939 hardtop from CSMDavis and would like to utiliize the SteelSoldiers express to get the top to Madison, Wisconsin or some point close within a couple of hundred miles of Madison. Since it is a used top, a few more scratches would not be a big deal. thanks Dennis

    Buying a M35A2 or M35A3?

    Hi Joe I have some help here for the next week and I think we are going to tackle 4 leaking wheels. I've got a 12 ton bottle jack, lot of blocks and a 1 inch cheapo HF air impact gun and an adapter and 3/4 inch impact sockets. It zips the wheel nuts and lug nuts so quick it's funny to work with...

    Plugging CTIS off.

    How about disconnecting the hose from the stem elbow to the wheel valve and installing a 3/8 to 1/8 brass reducer and 1/8 milton valve stem in each wheel stem elbow and air up each tire just like the spare tire setup. Don't turn on the CTIS and your golden.

    BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

    I'd still like a cut off front hitch setup from a M106A1-2 trailer, lunette ring to the bed. How much for a 939 series truck hardtop?

    Locking Hubs for 5 Ton trucks

    From what I've heard, trucks like the M920, M916 burn up the front axles when the trucks are used in rear wheel drive only for extended periods of time. The thrust side of the ring and pinion get lubricated when under load and are flat or perpendicular to the applied load whereas the coast side...

    Locking Hubs for 5 Ton trucks

    I'm impressed!:doghead: I'd be up for a set if they don't hurt my M931A2 transfer case and you can make them and sell them for less than $1500.00 and they are strong enough to last on these trucks.:driver: and my piggy bank doesn't choke up on me. I haven't even got a top on my truck.
