    m936a2 PTO?

    The transfer case PTO has a habit of easing out of gear? It is hard to get into gear then it will slip out of engagement, sometimes. The truck is right out of rebuild. The auto throttle control does not engage either. Anyone familiar with this issue?

    M270 Gets New Shoes!

    Had a chance to change out tires on a M270 Aircraft Recovery Trailer I rescued from a local house moving company down in the Mississippi delta this week. The six hour trip there was long but uneventful, I had two of my brothers accompany me! Even with a one inch air wrench it took a while to...

    M1008 Bed Additions?

    The truck below is pretty much how I got it from the AR National Guard, except for the lift and tires/wheels. Since I have had it the bed cover has come in handy as a catch all. A couple of weeks ago I cleaned it out to use it as a camper at the KAMO rally. I have not seen many other beds...

    M48 & M983 HEMTT Differences?

    I don't have the fever yet but a HEMTT may be unavoidable! I use my tractors more than anything else so a HEMTT tractor would be what I would like. I see the M48 power units and then the M983s, is the 983 just a fixed tractor?

    M936A2 Transmission Fluid?

    I have a 936A2 that is just out of rebuild, 16 hours. The transmission is about a quart low, when checking it, I can't tell what it is? It is almost clear with a slight golden tint? Any idea on what I should top it off with? I have done a search but I don't think it is gear oil and it has...

    Yanmar L40A Fuel Problem?

    I "won" one of the diesel wheelbarrow type air compressors, it's in pretty good shape except for the rotten fuel lines. Now the fuel pump seems to be toast. Anyone familiar with these little diesels? How much fuel should you see from the pump? Should the fuel line to the injector be full of...

    Familiar Oil Spray Pattern?

    My new to me M936A2 was delivered a month or so ago, I drove it about three miles to a storage site, it has been sitting since. I have aired up the tires manually since the CTIS is having problems. It sat for three weeks very uneventfully until this week. I go by a couple of time a week just...

    Goats?

    I was in a neighboring state's forestry equipment yard when I noticed their collection of Gamma Goats was not only much better organized but it had grown. The manager told me that after 20 years or so he was finally going to be allowed to auction them off and get them out of his way(he has...

    My 86' M1008 has had a mild death wobble for a while, changed four set of tires still wobbles. So I replace the steering dampener and the king pin springs and bushings, very easy replacement! However this has only reduced the wobble by maybe 95%. You can still feel the slight bump of the...
