This show is being put together by the North Cascades Military Vehicle Collectors www.ncmvcc.org We are a loosely bound bunch of collectors in the Seattle-Everett area (no set boundaries, though) who get together and put on displays or participate in parades. This year, we are also going to...

I've looked at the manuals and can't find the specs for aiming the headlights. I see how to change the assemblies and they say there is no follow-on work necessary. Well, there is if you want them to be aimed right. Something like 'park 20' from a building and adjust for so many feet up and so...

Mark your calendars for the upcoming military vehicle display at the big gun show. It's the biggest show of the year for the Washington Arms Collectors (www.washingtonarmscollectors.org) and we put on a big display every year there. Several thousand (no kidding) people come to this event, and we...

Y'all, WAC (Washington Arms Collectors) has asked me to arrange an informal mil vehicle display at the Monroe gun show on Sept. 13, Saturday. We've never done that event, so it's high time we start! We also have a big display at the October gun show in Puyallup. More about that one, soon. All...

I have a M915 with the Cummins NTC400. It has low power, as evidenced by low boost (20 psi when it should be 25) and also it just doesn't pull like a known good 400hp tractor. I suspected a leak in the crossover tube, but after replacing the seals and fuel filter, and cleaning the air filter...

The North Cascades Military Vehicle Collectors www.ncmvcc.org is joining the classic car show in Duvall, WA. June 7th, Saturday. 9am-2pm. This will be our 4th year. We always draw a big crowd at this one. It's a prostate cancer awareness event. Proceeds go to cancer research. Military vehicles...

I have a M915 that someone messed with a little. The original headlight switch is long gone, and it looks like they wired in a Ford Pickup switch in it's place. It was working until a while back when it got hot and quit. All headlight current (10A) goes through it, as opposed to using a relay...

Here we go again for another great venue! Mark your calendars for the Washington Arms Collectors (WAC) gun show on Saturday, October 12. You can also display on Sunday if you want to. Saturday is the only official day. I am a WAC member and am the point man for this display. It is being put on...

Here is a technical article written by the designers of the Cat 7155 16 speed semi-automatic transmission. It shows in detail, all of the features and reasoning behind it. Jim

My M915 has a very distinct, heavy thumping on mildly rough roads. It sounds as if there is a 50 pound weight on a few inch long lever arm that is banging around down there in front of the driver. It sounds like something is loose and hitting the frame. Nothing seems to be loose. Runs fine...

There is a big classic car show in Duvall, WA at the Safeway store in the parking lot. Small town; can't miss it. Duvall is 8 miles south of Monroe, WA on highway 203. You can see the poster at http://bigrockclassiccarshow.com/ This is a charity event that raises money for prostate cancer...

Y'all... I have a M915 with the NTC400 engine. Don't know if it's a BC1 or BC3. Seems weak. Only develops 17 PSI of boost, and the manual says it should develop about 25 if running right. Have looked through the postings and see things about hot-rodding them for more power, but not seeing a...

Found this surplus hydraulic motor. It's not a pump. The inlet and outlet are identical. It's a gear motor. But, from what?? It has two bleed ports in the lines as well as a case drain in the back. No tags at all. Want to use it for a winch, but need to figure out the model, so I can look up...

My manual TM9-2805-222-35 states emphatically that you must balance the clutch if you reface it or replace parts of it, or fail to mark the pressure plate position when you remove it. It further states that you are to use a "suitable balancing setup". Eh? Like, just where do you find those? I'm...

The designers of the REO 331 Gold Comet gas engine in early deuces must have stayed up late, trying to make the rear main seal as hard to replace as possible. Normally, when you remove a clutch and look at the rear main seal on an engine, all you have to do is pop it out and cram a new one in...

There is a blinking light on the shift tower, down by neutral. It is not the light that indicates that the strip heaters are on. I assumed it was low air to the tranny, but I have full air and it's still blinking. What is that light? The blink rate is very consistent, about once a second. Looks...

Please see the original announcement at http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/94820-puyallup-wa-gun-show-mil-vehicle-show-oct-13-a.html This coming Saturday. Hope to see you all there. Jim
