I have no experience with these units so I can't speak for their quality but I do like the looks of them... https://www.federalmilitaryparts.com/products/keyed-ignition-switch-military-oem-style-fits-all-us-military-vehicles-humvee-etc

I had a Ford FE that was siezed up and it turned out to be a needle bearing jammed between the starter teeth and the flywheel teeth. Just saying...there could be multiple possible causes.

When they're not modified, they're always in 6x6. There's no manual front engagement switch like other models have. There's a sprag (overrun) clutch in the t-case that let's the front sorta freewheel until the rear axles start spinning faster than the front and then it engages. The...

Didn't Hank's deuce have an off-the-shelf receiver hitch on it? Yeah, yeah... Black Rock Fab https://hanksdeuce.com/drop_hitch.htm

I was just there a month ago with my level wind with the same problems. With a rubber glove I was able to rotate the wheels a tiny amount back and forth and exercise them while greasing. Eventually they worked loose and now spin with ease. No disassembly of the wheels was necessary on mine.

Well, thank you! I took my time on it and it turned out nicer than I had hoped. Here is the writeup I did on it awhile back: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/vic-1-intercom-panel-for-soft-tops.188122/

If I remember right, @162tcat was making and selling stainless versions...

There's this thread from a ways back: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/nhc-250-turbo-conversion-in-m923.90372/

Must be very exciting and satisfying to see all the large panel assemblies go back together. It's like building a toy model!

FWIW...I ran my ground cable from the AM-1870 attaching bolt (1 of the 4) to the same battery ground terminal that the AM-1870 power cable was wired to.

That picture looks hot. I can feel the heat just by looking at it.

These are the quickest ones I could find from the PNW chapter's New Year's ocean beach run. Not sure if this is an M920 or M916...(Pics by Peter Lahmann)

I did a search of the NSN number and it popped up from a seller on a site called Bonanza. At the time they had 20 of them NOS in the wrapper but that was several years ago

I went back to the spot of the original picture from when I first brought the truck home to do a before and after. There's 5 years, 3 months and many mods in between the two. I've done so much to it that I'm starting to run out of projects 😬

The stock muffler is pretty effective at reducing noise. I didn't realize how much so until I took mine off...

Today my brother and I got the level wind installed and functional. It turned out to be a 45,000 lb unit from the rear winch of a M816 or M936 so 3 of the 4 mounting holes had to be altered and all of the movements were froze up. All the lower fittings of the trolley were caked up solid so...

I wonder if it could be part of an oil filter?

@WillWagner might recognize it if it's from the engine

I bet the silicone boots might withstand the elements a bit better. I think those are 1-piece units.

That does sound like a good deal and it looks pretty nice - almost as cool as an M813!...;)
