I think I found a great set of M1008 troop seats for an awesome price. I've attached a picture of the seats. I'm contemplating getting them and mounting them on my M1101 that I got. My wife says that the M1101 would make a great parade trailer to haul folks in and I agree. I'm thinking of...
Last year I met an individual at a car show in Benton. He showed a big interest in MVs and asked if I wouldn't mind participating in one that he puts on in Cabot. Of course I said sure. Well the time has come and he has requested a few good MVs :) I have attached the flyer with the details.
Here are a couple of Car Shows that are coming up:

I am attempting to install the bows that I bought for my M923. I wanted to double check to see what the height should be from the bed to the bottom of the bow. I have a couple of pockets that the bow goes down and stops at a different height than most of the others. I am going to look down in...
I have a M923A1 and I had noticed when I was bidding that it was missing the davit for the spare tire holder. No big deal. The spare tire was mounted in the bed. Well I got to thinking that eventually I would need one to lift that mammoth 1400 back into the truck if I ever had a flat...
Well I just had a successful recovery of my M1101 trailer from Hooks today :) I wanted to share some pertinent info for those that may be doing recoveries there. First off you can go through the main gate if you are just previewing. You still have to go to the visitor building off to the...
I am coordinating with the folks that are putting on the Benton Freedom Festival this year. It occurs July 3rd & 4th @ the Saline County Fairgrounds. They are looking for some MVs for display.
MV arrival at the event is somewhat flexible. They would like for folks to set up on July 2nd but...
I was looking for some extra info about the Allison transmission and ended up on the Allison site where you can download the manuals. I thought I would share the link for those that are interested. You may want to make this a sticky.
Allison Transmission
Well a fellow member bought a really nice M923 at Camp Robinson in NLR, AR. I offered my assistance with his recovery. Going into it we knew there was a possibility that it may need to be towed. I met up with Doubled a wee bit before 9am this morning at the commercial gate. We met up with...
I am starting this as a quick reference for the 939 newbies. Plus I think it will be great to see what everyone is using. Post up what series you have and the info of what types of fluids and grease you use.
I just wanted to let everyone know that Dave @ Ft. Leonard Wood is an excellent guy to deal with. He was really easy and realistic to deal with. There was also another gentleman there with him but I didn't catch his name. Both were really great. We had a couple minor issues with the M923 but...
I finally got around to finishing up my database that I built for the M35A2 so now, since I have purchased an M923, I am building a parts database for 5 tons. It will almost be the same as the one that I built for the M35A2 except I think some of the categories will be a bit different along...
I wanted to put a shout out "Thank you!!" to Andy1234 for going and doing some recon work on my M923. It's members' willingness to help each other out on here that make this such a great site. Once again THANK YOU.
:grd:
Do you have one in each of your Mvs? What is a good brand and type? Where did you get it from? Also do you inspect it regularly and what is the standard practice for replacing them?
I came up with these questions because I don't have any in mine and want to remedy that along bring it to...
I haven't got a date or time down yet because I am waiting for my EUC but I figured that I would at least get the ball rolling. I'm going to be retrieving my M923 from Ft. Leonard Wood. The route I will be going will take me through Springfield and Branson into Arkansas down 65 into Conway. I...
Well I won me a M923 out of Leonard Wood yesterday. I'm doing the whole EUC thing at the moment so I have a bit of time. I'm hoping if there are any members in the area or members that will be going there could check out my M923 for me. Just so I have an idea what I may be up against so I can...
I would like to plan a little get together/meeting in the central Arkansas area. We can do it at a park, restaurant, or someone's house, suggestions are welcomed. I would like to do it in the next 2 to 3 weeks before the end of February because the first weekend of March my daughter is having...
I am attempting to get as much info as possible for Arkansas MV owners to make our lives of owning MVs much easier. Here is some info that I recently attained:
1. You HAVE to have a CDL for anything above 26,001 lbs. The only exceptions are for the military and farm use. I'm hoping to...
Well I figured I would get a nice jump start on this years Air Show at the Jacksonville Air Force Base here in Arkansas. The dates are Sept. 8-9. The Blue Angels will be there :) I plan on displaying my MVs like I did the last time. Anyone interested in joining me is more than welcome to...
I have looked at Figure 18 in the 289-20P TM for the fuel filter housing and how it is assembled. I'm having issues with what connects to the line that I have circled in the picture. I didn't take this apart so I have no clue if anything goes there that is why I am asking here. I may be...
