Does anyone have the correct dimensions for a halftrack idler wheel flange. Mine are wearing out. I understand good replacements are hard find and that my best bet is to try and weld some aditional material to the inside. Looks like this had already been done once on the ones I have. My main...
This is a new to me (from GL) wrecker. I checked to see if the pin was in, but it wasn't. However, it acts if if the pin was in there, with a little slop. There is very little movement, but some. Other than the bars that go from the boom to the truck bed (I believe they are called shipping...
I can't get the crane to rotate on the M936A2. All other boom functions are working. It seems like there is some sort of brake function keeping it from turning. It tries to start turning, but has a hard stop. It does this in both directions. I checked to make sure there was nothing in the...
I went through several fuel pumps that I bought from Military parts suppliers. None of them seemed to last very long. I bought a fuel pump from NAPA that went on a 60's or 70's dodge engine. I can't find the part number that I bought from NAPA. I found the dodge year and engine type after a...
I assume you mean by "turn her up" to adjust the fuel injection level up. However, I am thinking I need to turn her up a little bit. I am thinking it is running a little to lean. The exhaust is really clean, no matter the engine speed or load. I am thinking it should be blowing a little bit...
50 to 51 mph is what I am getting out of it.
As far as modding it, we did do a few mods, but don't think you would have an issues with it.
Before mods and after mods pic below.
What should be the top speed of an M52A1 (Mack with Spicer 6453 xmsn) with governor set at 2200 rpm, and stock 11.00x20 tires ? Is there anything that can be done to increse it, other than tire size?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a manufacuterer and color for the yellow and red glad hands on an M52A1? Rustoleum used to carry an Insignia Red and Federal Yellow, but I can't seem to find it.
I got this steering wheel from TNJ Murray, supposedly as NOS. It was black.
I put on oil based paint, so I will try paint thinner to get it off. After that, I will try some kind of paint that is rated for plastic/rubber as an undercoat and see if that works.
I got a new steering wheel for my M52A1 and painted it semi OD. The paint isn't drying. I assume paint won't work with whatever material the steering wheel is made out of. Any ideas as to how to get the paint off and what kind of paint to put on it?
I wouldn't buy a truck with a transmissions that grinds gears unless you get it for at least $1K less than what one with a good transmission is worth. It can cost you that much to fix a transmission, not counting the hassle of getting it in and out of the truck.
Does anyone have any info on how to replace the horn button wire in the steering column on an M52A1 with the "new style" steering gear. The new style steering column only extends about a foot past the fire wall where it then connects to a U Joint on a shaft that goes to the steering gear. The...
