    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I did a search of the NSN number and it popped up from a seller on a site called Bonanza. At the time they had 20 of them NOS in the wrapper but that was several years ago

    I finally joined the club and bought my first MV! - M813A1

    I went back to the spot of the original picture from when I first brought the truck home to do a before and after. There's 5 years, 3 months and many mods in between the two. I've done so much to it that I'm starting to run out of projects 😬

    M813 muffler alternative options?

    The stock muffler is pretty effective at reducing noise. I didn't realize how much so until I took mine off...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today my brother and I got the level wind installed and functional. It turned out to be a 45,000 lb unit from the rear winch of a M816 or M936 so 3 of the 4 mounting holes had to be altered and all of the movements were froze up. All the lower fittings of the trolley were caked up solid so...

    I wonder if it could be part of an oil filter?

    @WillWagner might recognize it if it's from the engine

    Better axle boots?

    I bet the silicone boots might withstand the elements a bit better. I think those are 1-piece units.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That does sound like a good deal and it looks pretty nice - almost as cool as an M813!...;)

    I thought I was looking at a current auction listing but that looks like an expired one. Dang...

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    Idaho Motor Pool is auctioning off a pile of blank SF97 forms (real ones) this month. Just thought I'd mention that, you know, for academic purposes... https://jbsauctions.hibid.com/catalog/168277/idaho-motor-pool-military-surplus-reduction-auction/?cpage=3

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finally worked up the nerve and replaced the water pump belt and the power steering belts. Yeah, the ones in the very back... ...now my entire spine hurts

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Spring is trying to make a comeback here and I'm finally pursuing little projects again. I picked up a set of black rivets and added the missing data plates to the side of the bed.

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    FYI...When I did my front frame-to-axle hose I found out that the M35 and the M809s used different hoses so beware of those advertised as both.

    M818 gets a 7(6+1)-Speed

    My R&D group has been working with the Festo ADNM multi-stage pneumatic cylinder and it can be configured with up to 5 stages with stroke lengths starting at 1mm and incrementing 1mm at a time. This might be a solution but there are some limitations on stroke size (see pic) and you can't go...

    Is that some sort of companion flange or trunnion or something?
