not for compressed gasses, especially not with that style fuel nozzle in the storage box... They were designed to be filled with a pump and two hoses, one hose for venting air/fumes back to the fuel source .. Dispensing can be done (to some extent) via gravity , but a pump does best

other than what's already been mentioned in this string,, how about a slight leak from the bleeder valve or its threads?

as a selling point, if your truck has a mack in it , that's a sweeter more-powerful/valuable/desireable engine than the multifuel, hands down.. a quick spotting feature is the mack's turbo sits above the manifold ... A multifuel has a turbo below the manifold. .. Also, what's with the air...

others here are correct, the PTO is an industry-standard SAE.. Your tranny is a basic spicer design with one minor variation (air shift poppets).. The common-most spicers of your design (without poppets) were put in civilian trucks of the 1950's to early-80's, often driving an eaton 2-speed...

the 673's don't lope (except a little in very cold weather at first startup) .. They run smooth and powerful (and make beautiful music).. the 1st place to inspect is your entire fuel system, including age of fuel .. Will Wagner is correct, a laser thermo will help determine which cylinder(s)...

ON-road, i have carried/dumped 12-14T of material using about 1/3rd throttle to dump, with no issues other than we have to keep an eye on the sheet welds and condition of the metal (if any rot) along the bedsheet above the hinges... The beds themselves are the weak point on these 6x6 trucks, a...

as well as the tailgaters ;)

"no" to all of the above ... it was just another Blow to the day's progress although it hadn't started with a Bang ! :LOL:

yep... after a complete change of clothes and a complimentary sink bath with baking soda for the glasses, outside i went with a couple boxes of baking soda and a garden hose for the tractor's bath .. The battery top was blown clean off.. Then the cussing started, 6 volt heavy-duty batts were...

plywood base? .. no wood should extend beyond the angle-iron seat frame

Had one blow under a pickup hood "luckily".. The next time one blew was on an old tractor when I pulled the starting rod while standing beside it as I had done a thousand times before... The battery was belly-high thus I wore liquid head to toe, luckily I had glasses on... Was 40 feet from my...

Just punt the ball and get the stress over with :p

I can understand the bilge pump switch being needed during and after fording , but do you use the "anchor" button in case of brake failure ? Just curious :p

ummm,, that stenciling comes a little too late .. It's already on your toes when you get to read it :ROFLMAO: ... and yes, i have been 'nicked" just a whisker a time or two when pulling them out alone , even with an imminent reminder in my head :p And a reminder on the topside like yours...

BTW, there aren't many "sirs" on here , and I'm not one of them ;)

so many good ones !! .. tough to choose but I still have a favorite little bugger in the running ;)

the first (and last) time i ever saw the interior of an M886 was in 1983 or 84 , volunteer mock casualty during a late-night field exercise for the armored division's MASH ... I was loaded onto the top rack.. The truck rocked and rolled and bobbed blackout through the woods for a good 3/4-hour...

thanks for the reminder, it's time for my renewal as well :D

Since the wiring systems on all the "M-series" military trucks are of the same numbering system and AWG size, (CUCV-types aside), I had a situation before the days of multi-volt LED's when I first paired an M818 with a civilian 48ft trailer loaded with numerous 12V lights.. (easily modified to...

It's working for me... You click on the date circles , in my case I am looking at 1940-1948 period and got RAF and USAAF aerial photos. Did you select "orthophoto" ? I am using the site in German , i did not look for a different language selection .. Also, while in photo mode, if you zoom in...
