    Are M51 Parts Readily Available?

    Well, it's a bit rough. It has sat for six years with dirt in the bed. The battery box is wasted, both steps are rusted bad, right windshield and left door windows are spiderwebbed, winch and it's driveshaft is robbed, tailgate is wasted, some rust holes in the bottom of the bed reinforcement...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Replaced the H4 headlight bulbs with new old stock Volvo bulbs picked up from ebay. These are made in Germany, so I trust them to last longer than the China made ones I had in there. I ordered a spare just in case.

    Are M51 Parts Readily Available?

    Thanks. Without being there, I couldn't tell if that was plugs and wires or lines and injectors. So that odd shaped thing is a distributor?

    Are M51 Parts Readily Available?

    As for the body metal, I will check the truck out tomorrow. Here's a couple pictures of the engine. Is it a gasser, or multifuel?

    Are M51 Parts Readily Available?

    Thinking about an M51 IH, I found for a very reasonable price. This truck is way before my time, as I drove an M817 when I was in and now have the even more recent M929A2. Are all of these old beasts powered by a gasoline engine? Should I just pass on it with it needing a head gasket (and who...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    This inspired me to crawl under mine yesterday. All was good except a class II leak of brake fluid where right brake hose attaches to the caliper. Checked the fluid level and only down 1/4" so I tighten it this weekend and it will wait until I csn get a helper to help bleed the line after...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hauled a load of firewood home today. The local sawmill has a firewood machine that cuts and splits and they feed it the smaller diameter logs that I suspect come from clearing pipelines. All hardwood and $50/bucket load on the front end loader. I use my 5 ton regularly, but every time I...

    First G/L purchase Questions

    I am as newb as it gets, being I just made my first purchase last week. I also had to verify the cc info for each auction. I never won til last week, but tried previously, and each time as I tried to bid I had to reverify the cc to use. The one I won it said something relating to "if not...

    Reconfigured CUCV front end with Infa-Red light

    I was thinking one for each powered MV I have. I think a generation back NVGs only cost about $4k.

    Reconfigured CUCV front end with Infa-Red light

    Agreed! I need two for a good excuse to get the NVGs.

    What Does C + G Within A Plus/Cross Mean?

    Went and looked at the trailer and I confused trailers. It was on the M101A1 I got out of Columbus, OH. The stenciled mark is about 6" forward of the fenderwell. The one on the gate is about 2" left of center. I counted the drilled holes on this unit previously and there are 150 holes in the...

    Do the '09s have a bench seat up front? I know he mentioned the ones he has don't work in the back of the blazer, but if it's bench up front (as I thought), it should be the same.

    What Does C + G Within A Plus/Cross Mean?

    Thank you. That makes a lot of sense, with the plus sign in the middle, however I am not sure where, on the sides this is painted, and the trailer is on another property, and daggone it, I must feed my addiction in less than 10 minutes as GP auctions go live!!

    What Does C + G Within A Plus/Cross Mean?

    Picked up a M101A2 out of Peoria, IL and this is stenciled on both sides and the tailgate. Does it mean it was a Coast Guard trailer?
