    Depends on the era. Current usage is: 383 green (34094), 383 brown (30051), black (37030), or 686A tan (33446) Earlier four-color schemes relied more on names for the different color shades. They can be found in the camo TBs and TMs in the Tech Library. As to brand; lotsa people use and seem...

    Is there a way to tell if paint is CARC?

    Yes, especially where your boy's safety is concerned. Buy a cheap painter's dropcloth to catch and contain any dust and flakes. A shop-vac close at hand is a good idea too. Whether it's CARC or not, it's not worth the gamble.

    CARC Dangers?

    The late one-part CARC uses moisture to cure. That's moisture in the air... or in your throat and lungs. Best to spray in a tent or on a calm day as fumes and overspray should be avoided by all-- wife, kids, pets, neighbor's wife, kids, pets.... Make sure any respirator filtration is rated for...

    Make for M818 5spd Trans

    The cage code says the mfr is 19207. That's TACOM --Tank and Automotive Command. They probably farmed out the design specs out to a commercial trans mfr. Wish I could be more help.

    Painting "embossed" letters

    If the controls are off then position them with the lettering up. Thin your paint and use a small bruch to 'flow' the paint into the letters. If the controls are installed in the dash then the small brush/steady hand is about what you're left with. Testors makes markers filled with paint...

    More winching ops questions

    Disclaimer: For all you wire rope purists, stop reading here. After watching all the utility companies and several recovery outfits using synthetic line on their winchs, I think I'm gonna go the same route on mine. Synthetic line (Not to be confused with nylon line) doesn't rust, stretch or...

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    There have been several posts on locks for the engine shut down control and battery isolation switch set-ups; but the bottom line is, if someone's determined enough-- they'll find a way. The best you can do is to make it more trouble than it's worth so the thieves move on to easier targets...

    strange lockout hubs

    One outfit that made them was Warn. Cutlas made some that needed a coin or screwdriver to turn. The lever types are better for ease of opertation. There were probably others.

    Wanted - info on rotating beacon for a m123 ac1 trk/tractor

    Most kits for the soft tops seem to be a pretty simple set-up. Hard tops use a sheet metal bracket affair.

    Is there supposed to be something in this hole ?

    Are you talking about the oily hole with no plug in it? That stays open to act as a vent/drain for the clutch/pressure plate area. If you're planning on fording any deep water then you take the plug out of the threaded, blind hole next over and screw it into the drain/vent hole to keep your...

Midway down you'll see choices like "print all" or "print pages"; where you can choose pages 6-14 for instance-- next will be "current view" or "current...

    Large square reflective markers/ panels?

    They're intended to make the rear of an MV a little more visible to any drivers following behind. The red reflective tailgate tape is being replaced by the yellow and red square panels. The solid yellow panels served the same purpose.

    Opposed Piston/Opposed Cylinder 2-stroke engines

    Fairbanks-Morse used the opposed piston idea years ago in their prime movers for locomotives; although the top and bottom piston sets had their own crankshafts connected by a gear train. This new offshoot looks interesting but may have a weak link in the long rod(s) connecting the outer pistons...

    Tm 9-2320-206-20

    I'm pretty sure the library is all .pdf files so your manual would need to be scanned and converted. There are lots of members that insist on having hard copies of their TMs and you should be able to find someone interested in trading without too much trouble. Thanks for your generous offer to...
