    CUCV part?

    Thanks Chief, I thought that is what it might be. I guess they never bothered to put it in the TM. Bruce

    CUCV part?

    I have been looking in the TMs for this but since I don't know what it is called I am at a loss. I changed the overflow tank today and I noticed a small valve and some small tubing that was held on by the same bolt that secures the top of the resevoir. I am assuming that it may be some kind of...

    M1009 fuel filter problems

    If you look where it was squirting out you should see a little plastic knob with an X on it If I remember right. This is the bleeder valve. Close it after you bleed the filter and you should be ok.

    20,000lb wrecker winch shear pins

    DH is right in that my hole has been drilled out. I was wondering what the spec was for the hole. Obviously larger than 0.37. Also, do you know who might have just that part for sale, not the whole shaft? I am assuming that it would be next to impossible to fix the part by sleaving the hole...

    Starter recommendations?

    Antelope Valley Equipment & Truck Parts is where I bought my gear reduction starter and it has been working for at least 5 years now with no problems. They are on the left coast though. You did install the right support brackets which are different than the other type starter has? Bruce

    20,000lb wrecker winch shear pins

    Please do me a favor. When you get the pins from DH please put one in and measure the amount of play. I know his pins are the right diameter but I think my yoke on my PTO drive shaft has a larger pin hole than what it is supposed to have. I bought the drive shaft years ago and am about to...

    ste ice

    Right, it would come with your CUCV and would only work in a CUCV. Mind you, I am only going by my memory or the lack therof. Bruce

    ste ice

    I'm not sure, but I believe it gives out a tach reading on CUCVs by some obscure method that depends on a small circuit boar that fits in one of those pouches under the dash like the glow plug module fits in. It's been a few years since I played with it. Bruce

    M101A1 trailer at Nellis AFB

    I don't know the details. He is a very nice guy that buys lots of stuff from gl for his business and I think what happened is that he had to take care of other things when the euc cleared and it wasn't worth his time to make an extra trip down there to pick it up. He would have given it to me...

    M101A1 trailer at Nellis AFB

    Ok, this is a little odd ball so read thru. A friend bought a 3/4 ton trailer from gl but is too far away for him to bother to pick it up. His EUC just cleared but it is a little more than 10 days ago. There is a possibility that he can get them to release it even though it is late. If...

    M689E mobilizer and old ISO container

    Thanks for the offer, but my situation is that I have 2 M720s One I use for my S280 which has the necessary clips etc. and the other I want to use for moving an ISO container around. That is why I want to modify it so that it can grab the container. I am thinking of just making the container...

    M689E mobilizer and old ISO container

    I have been rethinking this project and I think the way to go is to weld some very heavy angle steel on the dolly set and weld in some twistlocks to the ends of the angle. Need to do something with the top attachement points. Anyway, just some thoughts. Bruce

    Ok I need a question answered?

    Usualy the only reason those box filters leak is because of the "water in fuel" sensor and "o" ring that comes with it. You may have a different situation, but I would check that first and then replace the sensor & O ring. The leak would be in the back of the bracket. A lot easier than making...
