Me 3. DG

No worse than holding an 80lb bag of concrete mix over your head, while getting 3 bigassed bolts out...

The Bendix may be jammed in the flywheel. This can cause the starter to spin very fast last time it was running, then throw some windings and lock up.

Some weasel may have gotten away with it!

Lugnut torque is something shops seem to think is proper when they stall out a 1" air wrench on every one. Then, if one has a flat, you'll never get them loose with hand tools. Plus, that will eventually dish out the beveled hole in the wheels, too. In many, many miles in tacticals, I've...

They are driven together by the intermediate drive shaft, AKA they are constantly locked into "4-wheel drive". It would take a very unusual event to shear off 10 wheel studs. Were you running duals or singles? Not that that really matters in your case. Offhand, I'd say you had a hard failure...

All thru the '80s We had 2 model 15 Teletype machines in the radio station relaying UPI & AP news. Both machines were maintained by paid techs on a monthly basis, and never gave any trouble. Some things I'll never forget about TTY are the smell, sounds, and how much oil they used on them...

Valve tappets can make a ticking sound in step with RPMs. A bit loose valve is loads better than one too tight. It is a full afternoon job to set them, but good training and worth it.

The Phoenix metro has many ARCO gas stations.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was taught military Diesel-powered devices (vehicles, gensets, pumps, eTc) were specified with specially hardened fuel pump and injector components to allow the use of arctic grade fuel, which lacks lubricity as it would cause gumming at extreme low temperatures...

The black smoke is indicating full rail on the fuel, normal for that condition. White smoke usually occurs with a cold Diesel. Blue smoke indicates burning a little oil, should dissipate when up to temp.

My M543A2 was sold a long time ago. No clue where it is now.

I just installed a new Zerk in the bell, and used a salvaged top cap on the bottom to ease lubing things.

I've had many 3-axle MV trucks over the years, and the fallout is my old '67 M54A1 is the one I kept. A few salient points about the G742 vs G744 5ton: >Power steering is stock. >10-bolt Budd wheels, easier to source tires too. >Smallish Spicer 3053 vs a far more robust transmission. >If...

That tool has saved me a lot of hard work on MV's. :)

Electrons are wiley lil' critters...

The "Angry 19" needed that 100A system, as it was a 100 Watt AM transmitter. The possibility exists that a pair of 19's were used in a mobile repeater setup, one bolted to each L&R troop seat.

The AN/GRC19 comes to mind. If more than that was necessary, a shelter would be expected: https://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-10-5411-205-23P.pdf

I have NOS 100-A system parts.

The PTO clearance is adjusted with a gasket stack. One starts with a thin one, and run up a couple of the mounting nuts gently to check if it easy to turn the output shaft by hand with it in gear. It probably won't be, so dismount it and add another gasket. Keep at it until you can easily...
