    pros and cons to owning an LMTV vs a M35a3

    I believe I know the truck you're talking about and as a M1081 LVAD they are much more prone to rust. I'd do some serious poking around on it to gauge the rust before proceeding. Both seem to be priced right sight unseen.

    pros and cons to owning an LMTV vs a M35a3

    This is the off the top of my head comparison between the two trucks and I tried to be objectively factual rather than speak to my taste. Having an M109A4 (M35A3 with M109 box) and an M1078 side by side it was easy to make comparisons. M35A3 Pros Cons Non Air brakes (may help in some...

    M10A International Harvester Rough Terrain Forklift

    There will be a massive rearranging here once it arrives and is checked over. Oh lord.. at 25 mph I better leave now to get there on time. That's what I like about it (the engine). I'll look into more counter weights as my rear rack is full. From my research when waiting is that there's a...

    M10A International Harvester Rough Terrain Forklift

    My "new to me" M10A will be here in a few days and want to see who else owns a unit out there? Anyone have any info on these units that's useful/interesting?

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    I've got a set of 6 NOS covers and have been talking to a local manufacturer to replicate them. They won't take on any new jobs until the corona stuff is over though.

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    I found the plug on ramdough's truck...and indeed looks like you broke the green plug. It has a metal male end that threads into the PTO housing which yours is missing.

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    That adapter I know of, it plugs into the PTO itself. The green one I don't recognize at all.

    LMTV winch harness mystery connector

    Would you post more photos of the connector ends? I don't recognize that plug on the PTO harness from the A0 on Ramdough's truck. The green end in your hand almost looks like it broke off something.

    Aloha from a newby

    Your videos show its like the dash has limited power since most gauges are not responding. One of my A1 trucks has a sticky relay when shutting down and the PBC will give similar/weird symbols when it's getting low voltage when it should be off. Follow what NDT said and work from the core...

    Joined the 5 Ton Club (Times 2)

    Welcome to the club! That M936A2 is a clean truck and looked unused since RRAD when I saw it last. The M810 came from Ft. Sam I believe. You'll like the wrecker but we warned..now people know you have one and you'll be that friend "with a pickup" that everyone asks favors from. :p

    Great winch video (and question)

    From the operation on my M1089A1 when I engage the PTO the RPMs are automatically set and I'm locked out of the gears as described. I have been too quick for the computer in the past and while in gear engaged the PTO. The RPMs increased some but since the truck was in gear and the parking brake...

    M45

    What catches my eye is that M42 and Cadillac Gage V100. Those wouldn't happen to be available too..would they? :whistle:

    What are the current supplies of LMTV namely M1078 and M1079 ?

    So.. insight knowledge for those reading. They charge off cubic inches then weight. Direct word from Pasha is their freight flow is heavy to the island and lean back to the mainland so they aren't concerned as much about weight on that sailing. They will still charge accordingly on dimensions so...

    What are the current supplies of LMTV namely M1078 and M1079 ?

    Unknown. Government is shut down so nothing is being released to GP to sell. Anything we see was signed over prior to shut down.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Got deep into it the past few days and swapped a C7 from this M1078A1R. The original engine was locked up tight with so few miles on it and no explanation of why after disassembly. I did the typical "pull injectors and fill with penetrating oil and time" trick, pulled ALL accessory drives from...

    How many out there have received incorrect SF97 Titles? (wrong make, wrong year etc) Did you find a remedy?

    Contact the regional office located at the bottom of the GSA auction listing you won it from. They're the ones who process it and have the authority to correct it. Offices and territories vary.

    Using FOIA to get truck info

    Pretty sweet the USMC came through!!!. I'm batting 1 of 3 right now with FOIA though the Army Automotive Command (I think it was) and the DLA.

    "Ran when parked" thread.

    That's an M52 tractor, and it's likely still the old Continental R6602 gasoline engine in it. No fender mounted air filter gives it away. It looks fairly clean though not really valuable as it's about as gluttonous as a HEMTT without the fun.
