Where do the shavings go when drilling for oil squirters? Into a main oil gallery? Can you flush the shavings out or is the oil filter the next stop for them?

Not that it adds anything to my entry, but fun fact; on this day 3 years ago I bought my M813A1, had it hauled over the mountains and fulfilled a long-time dream of owning my own 5-ton :) Loading the truck Delivery

Here are some upgrades that I've made to my truck that you can't see from the outside:

I also got switched over to Hagerty from Gulfway and the crossover papers listed my truck as being stored indoors so I called them to update some info and tell them I had no enclosure. They said that was fine it would just raise my rate from $274 to $340 per year for my level of coverage here...

I'll submit my 1981 AM General M813A1 again after garnering quite a few votes in the November running.

Member @quarkz (I believe) has a solid green M813A1 with a yellow nose and it looks good!

Dang! That looks sharp! I like the solid green. That was a lot of work but well worth it🙂

Thanks for making the video! That looks like a man's job - did you do all 7 in one day?

Fun numbers just FYI: Modern fans like a 2008 Freightliner Cascadia with DD15 take 45 horsepower to operate (dyno tested).

They didn't post any other photos. Maybe this is the last shot the camera got... A mid-explosion fireball pic would have been epic!

I didn't find a picture of a tractor moving a Tomahawk, but I did find a perfectly timed still shot of a tractor about to be moved BY a Tomahawk...

I read on another forum where a guy mentioned that Oshkosh made an ICBM hauler that was an M911 chassis but with a different custom-made body on it. The pictures were no longer available, thanks to photobucket, but that could be the rig your buddy remembers.

The Oshkosh M911 has a pretty long nose and triple axles, but no idea if they used it as a missile transport.

The Terex MX

Those look good - I like how tucked up they are. It looks like the blade is not inline with the arm...did you bend the tip of the arm?

My coworker was a Marine stationed at 29 Palms and when they switched to cd-rom manuals he pulled this operator's manual out of a garbage can on base and later gave it to me when I got my M813:

Hmmm...what if someone else in your household who didn't make an agreement uploaded the files?...

He said they're 9.00-R20s where stock would've been 11.00-R20 so they're smaller (M35 size)

So did the excitement start with your engine dropping a valve?

Because of the varying conditions and unknown functionality of used components i sourced my 4-person VIC-1 system from recodefense who is a vendor on this site. They're a DOD refurbisher of VIC-1s and can supply the amplifier, the crew boxes, and even radios but you would be on your own for...
