Yes, it will work and not peel. I painted mine with Rapco and Aervoe paint about 4 years ago and it has never flaked.

No idea about the M39s, but my M809 has s quarter turn vent valve on the reservoir tank hose near the upper radiator hose that must be open when filling so that the coolant can displace the air as it fills.

Great photos! You need to upload some of the snow pics to this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/show-your-5-tons-in-the-snow.101451/

Oshkosh equipment and Eastern surplus has the torque rods p/n 8728128. They probably have the springs and propeller shafts as well but they're not always identified as bridge truck parts. The component costs of all the parts might end up being more than what an unwanted M812 or M821 would sell...

The only thing I know is that many owners of bridge trucks get stuck with them when they find out they're too wide to legally drive down the road and then can't offload them to anyone else because the others already know (I guess). They end up losing a lot of money to get them gone. Searching...

Bridge trucks have at least 3 different things going on. They have spacers behind the wheels that increase the width, they have different wheels for the 14.00-20s, and they have torque rods that are 3" longer that end up spacing the rear axles 6" further apart. If you want more clearance...

By physical size or torque capacity?

This is another view of the same. It's such a sweet setup that I saved the pic for future reference.

The one I've seen used is from Those Military Guys but I hear that it's the same as Harbor Freight with a different paint job...

It's a powered base for a vehicle radio setup. Under the seat there would sometimes be a RT-524 installed on top of that piece.

Hope they were paying rent! Something was open to the elements at one point. I had sediment draining from that valve for quite a while. I would stuck twigs and things not too sharp up there to dislodge the rust flakes and eventually it wore down to just a thicker black coolant that would...

The concrete/ masonry bit shoots out a small direct stream that orbits in a circular motion to create a cone of high pressure water. I nicked the back of my ankle with one once right across the Achilles at 2500 psi..it will leave a mark...

I've started noticing some severe cracking of the cable sheath on my H161 headsets particularly below the PTT switch near the coiled spring. The cracks go all the way to the wires and I'm looking for a way to prevent this from happening to all the other wires & cables. For reference, the...

I imagine the "proper" way to do it is to use the Cummins tool that inserts into the block's access hole to manually engage the flywheel with a gear on one side and a square indent on the other and then put a breaker bar in that tool.

From what I've read on the forum here over the years is that the reason that size is not common on a dump truck is not due to fitment but due to a high center of gravity when working a loaded dump truck and the overall hauling performance where original duals or 395s would work better. Are...

On my old V8 pickup engines I used to put a breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt to resist turning. Maybe doing the same on the accessory drive nut would work?

https://feltztire.com/ Feltz tire can supply the valve stems or new seals. They don't list everything they have online so a phone call is the way to go.

For data plates I always look to Eastern Surplus and TNJ Murray. I believe Eastern Surplus purchased the entire inventory of Dataplates.net when they shut down. They both have data plates for older vehicles and I would think there's a decent chance they have some of the ones you need.

For hemtt wheels on the rear I think offset lugnuts would be worth it. With combat wheels on the rear, you don't need them because the studs on the rear are longer. Without the thimbles on the rear, the rear studs are now a smaller diameter - the same as the front. The original front...
