The passenger side mirror on my M1008 has the same glass in it as the drivers side mirror has, so no "Objects Are Larger than They appear" type view in it. I found a replacement on ebay shipped for $20, I like the larger field of view. From the mirrors I have seen in my mirror search on SS it...

Is there a way to rejuvenate old data plates that have gotten faint and oxidized short of replacing them?

I have a couple of winch setups(cut from frame) of M813s, will these bolt up to a M517 dump truck? I know the PTO and linkage is different but will the actual bumper extension match the 517 frame?

I have a M1008 with a 3.5 inch lift and 37 inch tires. I want to replace my shocks which are old and extended due to the lift, anyone have any they like? I don't do a lot of off roading except for driving through the woods and in the pasture. Thanks, James

A 2kw diesel gen set came with my MKT. Fuel lines were completely rotten, but I decided to try the motor anyway, there was enough diesel in the line for it to fire off on the second pull, ran a few seconds and I cut it off. Now I have replaced all the fuel lines, what is the easiest way to...

I picked up a MKT-99 Thursday from GL, I am not going to be able to look at it for a couple of days, so I had my daughter and a couple of her friends go an take some photos of what is inside. Unfortunately they took more photos of them selves than they did of the trailer! But from what I can...

If picking up a MKT these are three things I have learned after a 1200 mile trip: 1) If it is not stretched wrapped as below you are asking for trouble, the wind will do terrible things to your canvas! 2) These trailers are really heavy in the rear, if you do not strap the tongue down, you...

Anyone has a short version of the differences in the Kitchen trailer models? Is see MKT-90s for sale but some 80 series as well?

The paint is running thin on the front of my M1008 and yellow paint is showing through? Anyone have an idea of why the nose was painted yellow at one time? It's military life was as a communications truck, four antenna mounts and power run to the bed and I purchased it off Little Rock air...

Picked up my "new" 923A1 at Hooks, TX, pulled PMs and finally got it out of low range and started home. The truck just came out of rebuild with only 36 hours on it. On the trip home I drove about 55 mph, when I checked the mileage I came up with 11.2 miles per gallon! Is this reasonable? I...

I have a M923A1 to pick up at Hooks, the generator belts are laying on the cab floor, maybe just laying there or the generator may be locked up? If I put in four new batteries can I make the 200 mile trip home in daylight? How much does the truck depend on the batteries after it is started, I...

I just got a really great deal on a M1008, now I need to tow bar it home. I have read the TM, anyone have any practical experience with towing, I have to pull it about 300 miles. I am going to pull the drive shafts,how does it track, do I need to tie off the steering wheel, etc? James NEVER...

Got my ex-brush truck home today! Tried to tow bar it home, no dice rears all locked up, so hooked up a couple of batteries, built up pressure(kind of) squealed for about thirty yards, hooked up my 818 and drove home, really a nice ride, bigger cab and smooth shifting! Now all I need is...

Arrived at the forestry compound late as usual, hooked up the towbar and light set, caged(?) the rear axle brakes couldn't on the middle axle, looks like commercial air cylinders there, made sure everything is in neutral, then gave it a tug, both axles are locked, all eight tires are dragging...

I try to check GSA pretty often but work gets in the way so it had been a couple of weeks since the last check and surprise 55 mins. left on a pretty nice looking M932 just 80 miles away. So do I spend 5-7k on a 925 or less than 2k on a 932 tractor I may actually use now that I have two 40 foot...

I have an extra Air filter unit(M813 Fender Mounted?), the unit on my M543A2 is in poor shape(Rust) are they interchangeable? Are they the same size, they look to be but I don't have it here with me. Filter are different I think but size and bolt arrangement is the question!

If the engines in the photos below interest you shoot me a pm. I have no interest in them but I don't want to see them scrapped.

Bought a M270 a couple of weeks ago, it is pretty rough but it did come with a full compliment of ratchets and straps. The down side they looked like they were pulled from a swamp. But being cheap I thought a little Purple Power and my low end power washer may save the day. They are cleaner...

I was high bidder on a M925 in Hooks TX this morning, I check tonight and no auction no bids no bid history, most of the 923 and the only 925 is gone? GL gives their generic explanations and that is that. Does this happen ofter?

I am the proud new owner of a pretty shabby M270 but it will clean up real good! But it is short a couple of things all but the missing jacks I should be able to find locally but the jacks look specialized are they? Or can I pull some off a commercial rig?
