gun mounts are different shapes between MB versus GPW , i forget which type is on which :cautious:

Around 2001 i timed the delivery of a load of gravel with my M51 gasser so that i could pick up my son after his Track practice, no sense to spend an hour-and-a-half doing a 2nd round trip down there to get him The ol' girl howls loudly into the bus lineup area out of sight for a bit, the noise...

does it have square-ish toolbox cover on top of rear fender hump, or a roundish one?

9-slat grille, yep it's a MB or a ford GPW.. There's only a few minor differences between them, as you may know Just the right size for the boy !

it seemed only a certain few higher-ups in my company knew how many tanks our BN had over there , and the story coming from my trans platoon leader (and the 1SG at NCO meetings) was we had to be prepared to service at least 2 tank companies per Battalion to start with if the Threat...

have a high-school friend that spent a few years as an active armor officer, and after discharge he enlisted in C-Company 368E BN (US Army Reserve) to get some heavy transport command experience in hopes it later would help him obtain the command slot of the heavy transport section of the (NG)...

sometimes after a january thaw the lower corn fields flood and then as they drain they freeze over leaving a few inches of perfect ice on the ground.. Back when my M38"A5" had very-wide tires i would take it out to do 2WD ice ballet , get a 500ft running start, crank the wheel and let 'er twirl...

actual resistor

1: the resistor reduces voltage to the coil , IIRC .. 2: it's been so long since i had a jimmy i have forgotten what pieces are in its ignition system .. On my 5-ton gassers it's regular practice to keep a spare resistor or two in the glove box because when they burn out it's all over now...

tore deeper into the cadaver PT pump today but not into the main body .. the suction gear pump can come off the main body in one easy piece , although a previous post above shows the gear pump "halved" to expose the gears the gear pump's driveshaft pushes easily in/out of the main body ...

when i saw the underside it immediately hit my instinct to grab a rag and grease gun ! :LOL:

it worked fine for me while it lasted .. I didn't even bother to remove the return spring

Awesome !! Many years ago there was a TV commercial that asked, "Is it Real, or is it Memorex? " (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

do any of us here see any reason why the "emergency" shut off cannot be used as a manual shutoff with just the addition of a return spring? .. I did that on one of my M818's for a few months while waiting for me to replace a bad solenoid

i always took everything extra in a lot , some of it came in handy.. However, back when i had a 60's-era commercial D7 w/o winch, a period army D7 winch "in crate" popped up on a DRMO listing.. I bid on it and won (sealed bids at the time) When they forklifted the crate out to my truck i...

i don't know which cap is original to the jimmies but the XM211 i once had had a selectable vented cap just like what's on my M51 and the M52 (gassers)

well, no takers or guesser, but thanks anyway.. I finally have it squared away on my own by taking off hoses from the other truck and matching up the end fittings to this one It's for the oil return line coming from a big Luberfiner external engine oil filter, which is something that no...

Good call !! i had a CJ that did that once , kept dying out until i jerked the wheel and sloshed the fuel around.. the cap vent had a restriction ... Brad's jimmy fuel tank likely has the vented cap with the selector lever inside .. It might be turned to "off" .. Man, why didn't i...

one of the things we did in the motor pool to FNG's (or each other if one of us forgot) was to start a 5-ton when the guy sitting in the truck to your right had rolled his window down .. Guaranteed to spit watery soot all over a clean uniform :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: .. yeah...
