    M105 questions

    SO I started looking over my M105A2's, and noticed some things. One of the trailers has landing legs at all 4 corners. I'm wondering what the purpose for this was? It also looked to have some type of leftover foam sealant, kind of like 3M foam tape residue on parts of the inside of the...

    Anyone have a Civy Part number for a starter for the NHC-250? I tried to get the prestolite number off of my starter to cross, but they weren't able.

    Anyone near Ft. Ripley? Hauling M105's

    That pic is just what I needed to see. I figured I could make them fit, but just wasn't 100% sure. Are they pretty good about helping load up there? Lane, how did your recovery at Sparta go? I wish I could have helped you pick them up. Thanks for everyones input.

    M342A2 (M59) Ops Questions.

    Yup, it does go over the center point, and there is a power down. Mine will keep going up and the cylinder will stop, kind of like their is a bypass internally when it tops out, I can actually see the bed float away from the cylinder end a little (I have some play in the cylinder end and the...

    Deuce from Wisconsin to S.E. Ohio

    Mike up there is great. I've driven two home from up there that he said were running in the auction details. If it was labeled driven in, I would be pretty comfortable driving something home from sparta. Just check all the little stuff.

    need clutch and preasure plate.

    Equipmentparts or something like that has cheap disks (check their ebay store). OD iron has the pressure plate, but it's expensive. I think I got the last one from saturn. For me the biggest pain was torquing the flywheel to spec. and getting the trans re-installed. Even with an alignment...

    Bad starter?

    So I thought my control box was bad on my 818, and that is why it wasn't cranking. I did a little trouble shooting today, and the relay in PCB is working. I have 24V to the starter, and the ground seems fine. When the switch is turned to start I have 24v to the trigger wire on the starter...

    Hard Top Redo

    I don't know about sheeting, but I've seen them use these lead sticks (can get from eastwood I think) and sort of melt them into the metal work (just enought so it gets gooey, but not liquid). It was often used to fill instead of bondo in the old days.

    Hard Top Redo

    You could fill the holes w/ lead. Personally I would hate to put any bondo on one of these vehilces. Also, it would seem the bondo or fiberglass would eventually lift if there were any rust at all left on the surface. I've seen some fiberglass rust repairs in the past and they did NOT turn...

    M813 has no lights working on the rear, help.

    I dont' remember if this worked when working on mine or not, but you can try. Disconnect the plug to the turn signal switch and check for the 12v power. Then using the schematic from the TM jump to each turn signal to see if it works. Should help narrow down the problem a little.

    Hemtt trailer?

    If I was gonna snag something I'd try for one of the many Hemmt's I see parked around the area. There were about 12 of them there this past monday. Have seen lots of MTVR's there too awaiting transport.
