Got in the batch of 4 M813s this week, unloaded the last two which were Marine M813A1s. The big one has all the trimmings: PTO, heater, deep water fording kit, and maybe..lockers (no sticker on dash seen). Both wanted to fire up with a push start and had brakes! Win!
And at the same time the quantity of FMTVs, trailers, Unimogs, and etc increased. They're smart at how they can get the most dollars for uncle sam's old toys, it's their job. They sell in waves based on condition, quantity, and location.. it's no secret. This keeps the market of an area from...
Depending on when your trailer was rebuilt there may be a 90 degree elbow and a reducer/adapter to fit standard trucker airlines. My 2011 rebuild was like this, all my other 01-04 trailers were just plumbed right into the trailer without anything else.
I've got some actual NOS military magnetic tail light sets that are one piece, they're long enough to reach around a 5 ton. I'll have to dig them out of storage but they're LED and "plug n' play".
I got off the phone with Swamp Donkey just a while ago and he's sending me a bushing. I've got NOS spindles incoming from auction and I may just put one on it to be safe. I would like to swap the axle shaft out to eliminate any potential issues there as well. The question is can I pull a front...
Exactly. It looks like something was shaving against the axle shaft inside the spindle and it got wrapped. I don't see any bushing or etc in the TM in this location.
I'm having a trouble truck here that keeps tossing me problems with the front axle. RRAD did a poor job when they "overhauled" it by not greasing the bearings causing a cascade of issues. I redid both hubs with new seals and bearings and it apparently didn't like it. What is caused this issue...
MWMULES is right for the most part. There is no A0, A1, A2, A3 models like the M35 and M939 series trucks. There are M813A1 cargo trucks but they are dropside trucks, no change otherwise.
"The M813 and M813A1 cargo trucks have 7 x 14-foot (2.14 x 4.27 meters) flatbed boxes. The M813A1 truck...
The 250 is going to be cheaper to acquire and more practical to find parts for. I can't speak on a side by side comparison but the 250 would be a more logical choice.
I've not heard of this email address before. I have to call in constantly to ask for an update on my multiple tax refunds from GP and no one knows anything nor do they call back. Average refunds time is about 8 weeks it seems which is ridiculousness since the money wasn't supposed to be...
I've noticed the retaining pins for the extending lift points on most of my M1082 trailers have gone AWOL, being they are large pieces of steel I thought they'd best be secured before travel. I found a commercial replacement pin form Tractor Supply that fit perfectly and is a little easier to...
I've seen a few items get recycled 3+ times over the course of a few months. I can understand if the item is immediately relisted if the buyer backs out and pays the fee but I can also see why GP might hold onto the item and relist a short while later. I know from the GL days if a truck got...
Dropped my front drive line on the M923A2 due to the vibrations at 40+. Found the mystery leak that made it loose prime..RRAD didn't tighten the copper fittings inside the frame before it connect to the rubber line (hope that did it).
Could be a short or bad anything in that circuit. Take a temp gun and go to town, don't trust the temp gauge. I had a JRTC truck with a deep fording kit on it and it would "over heat" when it warmed up.
