mil-std-129L section 4.4.9. But this talks about affixing a board or gluing a plastic cover onto a vehicle.

When I tried to figure out some new tags I found on my truck, I ran into a "packaging" TM for all kind of military things to be shipped somewhere, including "movable vehicles". It stated that, in the case of vehicles, the markings or shipping details should be attached at the front of the...

I tried byut you have to sign in and I don't have an account (and don't want to).

What did you use to "shoot" at him? Nice to see a tank do a 180

Working alone when you actually are not young enough for this kind of #$%$ anymore. A lot of us now been there and are trying to do that. Great project - live work. Vtdeucedriver did a thread on Gun truck Brutus. It is good that both in real live and in this forum the history and value of...

No reply yet? Nobody who want to paint their MV in 1960s correct OD 24087 (or changed to 24084 in RFS595B) and found a current US color code for it? In a 2007 thread (21 pages) I found one formula in reply to the question " for Vietnam Era semi gloss OD 24087...QUARKZ" ). No idea what the...

Wrestling myself through 15 years of paint and color code threads and linked threads, I came across one which might interest-help somebody: If you plan to use the unexpected free time for some painting of your MV, maybe this can help you Sherwin Williams promo codes and Sherwin Williams...

Yep, the only little problem is ... getting the @#$#%$^$%#$ paint.

Mckoen, I have a very weak spot for old Austins, mainly because I owned two Austin Westminster 105s while I was in Canada driving along the Alaska Highway with it. Unfortunately, I have an even weaker spot for big rusty trucks with long noses, specially when they are looking orange (Dutch...

The year 2020. And after several days searching I give up trying to find it here and ask for help. Finally decided my truck, which the ID tags say is 1973 (overhauled) but hood and SN makes clear is 1965, will be painted in the correct 1965 paint color OD 24087 with white lettering and star...

I am getting ready to start do some body work. More and more hidden corners show that the original color was OD # 24087. The first repaint job was probably done in 1973, in a darker green, probably the # 34079 Forest Green. Maybe here you see the original OD with the faded forest...

Just take everything apart and start rebuild it, looks like a nice project. A transmission for $ 275 even not perfect does not sound bad, but then, I am used to crazy European prizes.

Not really, I had a problem with the M51A2 steering as well. In the end, I combined two old steering gear boxes to get the stuff back to work. If you put everything back as was, it should work good automatically. And the usual advice, check what you are doing against the TMS Mainly the...

Already did so. Want to switch it for my M51A2? All these nice trucks and everybody is looking at the piece of rust.

IN :jumpin:👍

I think I will just re-install the rear output shaft between the PTO and the pump, but leave the link between control box and rear shifter staff out (not connected). Then start the engine, with everything in neutral, and let Soldier B push the the rear shifter shaft into "engage" to ge tthe pump...

Yeah, I found that out this morning as well and mentioned it in the other thread already. My bad. Which leaves me with the last problem. Same picture as in my post 5 above in this thread. The Dump Control Lever in the cabin is in upright neutral position. You can see the connector rod...

OK, my bad. I had all shafts disconnected from the PTO and the engine running. And yes, off course it works how it should. Don't know where I got the idea from that the winch lever also operated the dump. Probably because the PTO is dual, and the winch shifter and the rear shifter shaft are...

Which still leaves the question which positions the PTO control lever has in the dump. By feeling in my 1965 M51A2 (overhauled completely in 1973), it feels like only three: Forward down: rear output shaft turning Neutral: standing about 60 degrees up, the lever can be locked in this position...
