Looks as though I am picking one up.
I imagine they are a bit heavier than a standard M35, can I still towbar one safely behind my deuce? I'd use the XM818, but it is getting a new trans at the moment.
Anyone know where to get a long trailer cable that I can plug into the rear of the towed...
So I remember reading that the deuce cab and the 5-ton cab are pretty much the same.
What differences are there? It looked like there wasn't a pre-punched hole for the Heater on the drivers side in the 5-ton, but that doesn't really matter to me.
In the deuce it looked as though there was a...
Well I WAS getting ready for a 250 mile trip in the deuce tomorrow.
Decided I should make sure the tires are aired up. First one I grab...Flat.
Hmm, Better check some more. 4 good ones, another flat. I got disgusted and went inside to eat. Must have given me energy. I went and inflated...
Anyone have, or know of somewhere to purchase a heater kit?
Tried buying a parts deuce for one, but it went too high.
Prefer a good used one to keep the cost down.
I recently added a pyro and started turning up the fuel. The last time I turned it up and tested it, it was just starting to blow a little smoke, but the temps were still pretty low.
So I turned it up a little more, but didn't get a chance to drive it after.
Fast forward to today. I start it...
Does anyone know how the A3 steering is setup? I know where I can get an Assist Cylinder and hoses, but wondering what is on the other end. I imagine it is just a steering box, but want to know everything I would need before going to see if the rest is there.
Also, does anyone know what an A3...
So I bought my first deuce in Nov '07, then bought my xm818 in Dec 07. Now in July '08 I bought another. The disease is hitting hard.
Got the paid invoice today. Going to pick up this thursday, can't wait. This one looks to have some pretty fresh paint on it, which is why I bought it. My...
I'm still trying to gather the parts to get my 818 reliable, but I'm starting to think about trailers.
Does anyone know what trailers will work w/o issues with the big 52" singles? I know I've seen pics of a members truck towing an M270a1, but those are few and far between and expensive.
So...
I am in the region of WI that had the bad floods, and the NG here has been helping out. So at work I get to see a bunch of M917 dump's drive by all day long (makes it hard to do work).
Once in awhile one will get stopped at the light right outside the window. I just was checking one out and...
I put on my 16:00x20's this weekend. What a PITA. Just myself, my tractor, an air compressor, 1" impact, and a 20 ton bottle jack.
I'm really sore today :!:
BTW: I got the tires from Rodney on Ebay. Good guy to deal with and all the tires have REALLY high tread.
Looking for a trans and t-case for my m818, does anyone know of anything near WI? I found adelmans has the parts I need in OH, but I don't really want to pay for freight if I don't need to.
Cleaning out the m818, and found some papers under the seat. It is a DA form 2408-9 dated 1 OCT 1972
Has my M818's serial number on it.
Org: 458th SVC CO
Location: Onalasak, WI
Unit code: WTFPAA
Utilization code: B
Vehicle use code: A
Year : 1973
Under Remarks it says: TI...
I went to fire up my 818 this morning to move it and unload my tools, but the air pressure would not build up. I started poking around, and eventually removed the trans access cover. There are two air "units" and inbetween there is a lone fitting, (threaded female) that is not hooked to...
I'm all staged up for my recovery trip tomorrow. Heading to Ft. McCoy to get my M35A2C, drive it south towards my sisters house to a spot I found for storage.
Then it's off to GSA near Madison, Wi to get my m818. HOPEFULLY, after doing alot of checks and making sure everything is good, will...
First off I need new batteries, asap. I'm guessing the 6tl's are not common, what would be a good replacement? What about the large truck batteries that take up the space of 2 regulars?
I'm also going to need a heater, will the deuce heater work on the M809 series trucks? Or is it a...
Can anyone tell me where to get one? I tried saturn but their site said sold out? Anyone have one for sale?
Also, what is the going rate for a 20'? I know copper is getting pretty expensive.
