It will run with cylinder pitting. That issue is a problem for engines expected to run 1000s of hours. For 15 minutes to air up tires, it will last forever.

Tractors are a hoot as the power to weight ratio is better than cargo trucks and they are more nimble too. Looks like you have a nice clean example there.

Good looking tug! I had a MIL-40 when I was a teenager but stupidly scrapped it.

Looks like an Illinois National Guard truck, mine was it's stablemate. Lots of rust from the salt.

I honestly don’t think they teach anything about driveshaft phasing in 91B school, there is no other explanation for SO MANY trucks coming out of DRMO with the driveshafts installed wrong. It takes 5 extra seconds to insert the spline properly.

Yes that is the serial number, it's a 1971 model. Unfortunately there is no unit information in the database. Only option is to lightly sand the bumpers for unit markings.

You bail on 880s due to severe rust, not issues with a garden variety 318. Stay the course is my thoughts.

What is the serial number information from the cab data plate?

I can confirm the story that the 20 or so SD Brazos trucks sat at Worldwide Machinery for years and years after the BAE liquidation. I would see them on Houston’s East Freeway and wonder how the economics of holding a depreciating asset that long was working out for them.

Sounds to me that muck in the 50 year old block has plugged up the tubes in your brand new radiator.

Hub gears make noise when they are not set up right. Check those and check your driveshaft phasing too.

Complete engine on Ebay: item 115868009365 Lot of bits and pieces but no bare blocks.

Not sure what to tell you. That has to be the cleanest HMMWV I have ever seen on GP. You won't know what it needs until you get it home. Looks like it's fresh out of a rebuild, so it may not need anything other than batteries. And if they are AGMs, you might be able to recover those too.

Girl is Connie Rod from PS Magazine. Guyfang did you a huge solid by uploading all those TMs to the site! Parts are available, they are the same as the 2AO16 engine.

The cradle has rollers on the aft end like a roll off dumpster. I can scoot my BEB around on pavement by picking up the cradle on the stern end with a 4000 lb forklift.

That compressor was widely used to air up tires in the field. Is the engine or compressor locked up? The engine is a military spec 1AO-8, one cylinder, aluminum, overhead valve, 8 cubic inches. I didn’t use my electric shop compressor for a year, it wouldn’t start, thought the motor was bad...

The mating surfaces are thick steel. Maybe try multiple screwdrivers. There is a huge area of silicone to rip apart, it will be difficult but not impossible.

Wedge a screwdriver in between. Screwdriver will be ruined cuz ya got to beat on it with hammer.

Erik’s is the only place I know of.

The M821 had the roller and was used with the newer bridge erection boat in your picture. Stake sides used to transport Bailey Bridge pieces were removed.
