I think a lot of the wheel cylinder issues are from sitting and not being moved. They are also getting old, a 50 year old rubber cup is a heck of a thing to bet your life or somebody else's life on. I would like an early multifuel deuce, mid 60's, saying that, I just bought a newer one recently...
We know one thing, he is not a student of the English language...
" It does have seats and widows that roll up, windshield pushes out. CONVETABLE TOP ooooo NICE."
Hey! It at least has a heater and nice paint. I won a M35A2C today as well. I hope it is the same one I looked at a couple of months ago! I maybe needing parts myself!
I have not been victim of either one yet. I have been the victim of a steering knob catching me on a plow furrow in a wheat field. I was driving a 1954 GMC and I thought my thumb was broken. It almost immediately swelled and the throbbing lasted several hours. It sure made the rest of the day's...
Nope! Mine is on ten 9.00X20 NDTs. They are like new Titans though. Through my M105 purchases, I have enough new Titans to give it another complete set of new tires. I can tell though, that the front tires wear much faster, as do the outside tires on the rear most axle. I suspect they scrub in...
I do not remember seeing any signs at Ft. Riley for cameras, but then, it has tourist trap attractions, like Custer's House and the Infantry Museum. Hope it is not a federal law, I am busted. Glen
You lost me in the translation Jerry. Mine is not bobbed, the front axle weighs 6800, the rear two axles are carrying 7400 for a total weight of 14200, that is with my dog and myself on board.... I would like to shift 1800 pounds to the rear axles, but I am not carrying that much weight in...
You know Wreckerman, you sure have changed Elmo's life! He was all alone, lost in the creek at your place. Now he is roaming our great nation with a new adventure around every curve. He has been getting a real education.....
Mine weighed 14,200 today, 6,800 on the front axle. Maybe I should move some tools to the bed or build under box storage. It was empty except for a medium tow bar and a set of M105 metal bows. Glen
Your rear overhang would be much less, giving you a better departure angle. On the flip side, you will be much more likely to crush the fuel tank or belly the truck out going over ledges or terraces. A simple carrier bearing would take care of long shaft issues. Glen
Wow! Did you get through English class?
The M1009 is a decent road machine and should be able to tow two motorcycles. It is pretty good off road, but not heavy enough for serious trail work. Depending upon how hard you push it, between 13 and 24 for fuel mileage. They are not all created equal...
Just one mile west and one mile north of Lebanon Kansas lies the marker for the center of the US. I searched my photos and cannot believe I do not have one of a MV there. Thanks for the upcoming adventure! Glen
Ahhh!!!! The bobbed deuce, I think there are two kinds of real men in the US, ones that want or have a bobbed deuce and those that are afraid to admit they want one....
I have a buddy with a crew cab Unimog, it is pretty sweet. His has the lower geared axles though and 35 is about cruising in...
I thought we were closer to the middle of the country, but I will be glad to share that with you. Welcome to the forums, what flavor of Military Vehicle infection do you have? Glen
