RE: M105 There was one up for auction at Ft. Bragg about the time I got my 543, it wasn't a clam shell like my M106 but it I think it had access doors on three sides and was pretty boxie looking. I will see if I can find the GL photo of it. James G.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Cheap 5-ton tractors in VA David: A 4 to 1 solution of muratic acid and water works really well if you are not in a big hurry. I use it on jerry cans all the time, it will take several days but it will be shiny when you are done. You only need enough solution to...

Where on the Gulf Coast is the show? Anyone have a link? James G.

Deuce, thanks for the photo, how far does it extend? Jason are you going to be around Monday, I would like to look at a set installed. James G.

Does anyone have any close up photos of the extension for the convoy lights? I think I have all the parts except the extensions. Unless someone has a pair for sale I am going to have to fab up a set, and some photos would be big help since I have never actually seen a setup on a truck, except...

David: I had a look at the photos you shared with me, all of them are all green, but this guy was absolutely sure they were black, and that one of the first things they did was to paint everything OD! James G.

What was the original color(number) of the M543 wrecker? A local vet. told me he remembers the new wreckers arriving with everything below the body in a dull black, except the axles? James G.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Towbar adapter machining... rdixiemiller Robert: Do you have any photos of the finished product, I am going to have the same thing done to a Large Towbar set. James G.

RE: M39 series 5t manuals BigBee: PM sent. James G.

I have a really nice manual for a 809 series 5 ton TM 9-2320-260-10 it is even in the issue green binder, I need one of my M543 anyone want to swap? James G. PS: A little water damage, but all there and usable

What I was concerned with were the engine bolt-ons, like starters, fuel injector pumps, manifolds, etc. I know where there are a couple of 5 tons (with multi-fuel engines)going to the junk yard for scrap, so is it worth it for me to spend the time removing misc. parts? Will I be able to use...
