It is your sprag.
Before you move the 818, shift into reverse, THEN shift into 1st. You should hear a "hiss/pop" noise. Then you are good to go. I think what you are experiencing is your sprag case being in reverse & then being forced into the forward position. If you dont follow the steps...
The MGR-1 Honest John rocket was the first nuclear-capable surface-to-surface rocket in the US arsenal. Designated Artillery Rocket XM31, the first such missile was tested in 1951 and deployed in January 1953. The designator was changed to M31 in September, 1953 and were deployed in Europe...
I have 6-7 drums (55 gallon) of WMO. It is from one of my buddies that has a fleet of dump trucks and has been sitting at my house since late summer. I do not have time to fool with it right now, and I dont see me having time soon.
SO.....
Before I give it to some local mechanics to use in...
I have a M872 also.....It is parked in my yard. I was thinking that it is too big for my M818. So your M818 pulled it good? loaded??? COOL! :mrgreen:
I guess I might just keep mine now! lol ;)
I have been wondering the same thing for 2 weeks now.....
I look forward to hear what you guys have done with yours. Also, what is needed to upgrade a deuce/5 ton to the dual braking system of a late model M35A2 (late 80's)?? They had much safer brakes right?
Thanks!

I have a 1/2" ingersol-rand impact gun from Lowes w/3/8 air fittings & I run it off my deuces!
I also have a air-bottle jack that I run off the deuce.
I can change a tire (by myself) in less than 15 minutes......this includes getting all the tools out, dropping the spare, replacing the tire...
The SIMPLE solution to this is....
Put a quart or two of new motor oil in it (multifuel engine)....the ENTIRE tank will turn black.
Lets see them tell what is in there then. 2cents
AND.....
Cops dont care if you are right or wrong....they will tell you "tell it to the judge". Do NOT get an...
40 mph??? No way! Unless you are going down steep hills.
I pulled my M109 home with a deuce. I will never pull something with a deuce again. I went 55mph down STEEP mountains on redline......and 14mph uphills in 2nd gear for MILES.
M818s are very nose heavy & will jackknife your deuce if...
The gate you are talking about is the commercial entrance.
If you are on the main road (around the base), it is the NEXT entrance after the main gate. Approx 2-3 miles after the main entrance.
This will put you about 1 mile from the GL lot. Go through the commercial entrance, stay on that...
You are wasting your time if you dont have the correct paperwork.
They will NOT let you on the base.
Make sure you bring your paid in full invoice, drivers license, and insurance info.
If you are having anyone else come on base with you, they will need govt ID also.
