I went and took some pics the best I could before it got dark. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=photoshare&func=showimages&fid=153&viewkey=&template=slideshow&iid=1164...

DR said I would need a voltage regulator. I tried looking at Saturn surplus but they show Sold-Out and that there are 2 differant ones. Does anyone know a ball park price on these and where I could locate one? Also, where could I find a manual online or a book for this genset? It is stamped TM...

Got the pics loaded into the gallery titled "DR/Shadow Iowa trading". Here is a link to it: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=photoshare&func=showimages&fid=153 there are 54 pics in all. In all the checking we did, we never tried backing up.......Who needs to back up anyway...

Hi all, I thought I would do a quick update before hitting the hay. DR arrived about 9am and we got to work around 10 or so on the flatbed. We had to change out all the lights and wires with new ones and inflate 1 tire that went flat that I did not know about and do a little thumping on 1 set of...

He IS bringing his shop van and the converter dolly. :shock: I took some measurements for him of the trailer before. I got: 4ft 10in to the side measured from the pin and, 3ft 2in from the pin to the front. the pin is 3in in dia. It was made in 1959. I know nothing about trailers and hope he...

:!: I can't get through to Desert Rat...We had a Tornado Warnings with 2 doppler indicated tornados that moved through the area with hail. We had 1/4-1/2 inch, below us they had golf ball size. I tried calling him again during this but only got the message "your call can not be compleated as...

Desert Rat is heading up here to Fairfax, Iowa (next to Cedar Rapids, Iowa) to trade with me a genset for the flatbed semi trailer I had for sale. :driver: I have hired him to pick up an old metal typer, or Personalized Souvenir Coin Stamper as it is called for me down in the Dallas area...

Sweat looking truck.[thumbzup] It is way better shape then mine. I wish mine was as clean as yours, but then I would have had to pay a lot more then the $1,200 I gave for mine. Mine looks like this: I have a question while i'm at it. Does anyone know what the tubular type thing is next to...

Just in case anyone sees this post and is wondering if I still have it, I am trading with Desert Rat so the trailer is no longer for sale/trade. :)

:?: I never received your PM. I received your e-mail yesterday and was going to call you in the afternoon but everything went wrong that could go wrong and I didn't get back home untill after 11pm. Today I had to finish what I could and now it is too late again to call you. aua I should be able...

I have a flatbed semi trailer that I am selling and thought I would let you guys know about it in case anyone of you has a need for one. It does need some work. It has wooden boards for a bed that are in bad shape and need replaced. I had 3 tow-behind tar bin units (full of tar) on it and they...

I need some stuff for my 53 reo tractor. Like front windshield glass, seats, gauges (only my air gauge works) marker lights front/rear. air control valve/unit on back of cab that controls trailer brakes, tires, horn, 3 lever switch, mirrors, (would like a) winch bumper. I'm in a money pinch...

Thanks for the info. :) I usually have a few days before starting it up again to move it and I have to go threw all that stuff of starting it but if I am starting it in the same day I almost never have a problem with it. I am not used to this type of engine with the carb opening on its side. I...

Every time I go to start my M275 with a stright 6 cylinder continental I have to use starting fluid in a spray can. I got tired of having to take the rubber hose off to spray the carb so I cut a small hole in it so all I have to do is aim for the hole reaching in from the side panel without have...

I did not have any air comming out of the unit that supplys the trailers brakes so I tried taking it apart. I found a small spring and a disk type gasket that was inside when I took the 4 bolts off on the right hand side. They looked real clean so I put it back on. I then took off the 3...

I have been looking around for info on these too. I have a propane/oxygen cannon made by the army to simulate a 105mm tank gun. We had the manual back when we bought the gun and it talked about how it was bolted around the tanks barrel and the controls ran inside the tank so they could fire it...

I got some pics uploaded finally. As you can see it is a little ruff. It looks like it was spray painted blue both inside and out. The unit with the hoses in this picture is what I think might be bad. The line coming out of the cab that screws in on the left side in the picture has air...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all, I cought a nasty cold and had to go to the doctors and was just to sick to even turn the computer on. I tried to measure the wheelbase and got 163" from the front center to the 2nd rear axle center. I only had a 12' tape measure with me so it was...

Thanks for the help you guys. I think mine is the short wheelbase because it looks short in length when looking at it from the side. I will have to measure it to see. The gas tank is on the drivers side partially under the cab. There is no spare tire with the truck. It has non-military 8.50 X...

Hello all, I am hoping someone can help me figure out what kind of truck I have. (M44, M58, ETC) The data plates indicate a M44 but they look too clean to be the original ones for the truck. The Truck is a 1953 Diamond Reo 2.5 Ton 6x6 Semi tractor with a 5 speed manual, straight 6 cyl...
