Looks like three color desert. Desert Storm vintage and later. Can't pin down specific date though. Maybe someone else out there can give you a more definate period.

Jake, I've got 16X20 HEMTT tires on my baby HEMTT; which started out life as an M35. To mount them I ended up going with 5 ton axles from an M900 series truck along with 10.00X20 ten-hole Budd wheels. Not exactly your weekend flip-the-hubs operation. See the pictures under my "baby HEMTT" posts...

Jed, not sure what it's called but the stuff is usually found in auto supplies in the quick fix aisle along with super-glue and the muffler patch kits. Not sure how fuel resistant JB Weld is but I know it's tough enough to have mended the cracked timing case cover on one of my Cummins' in a...

Went through this with one of my Unimogs. Once I determined that the speedo drive output from the gearbox was working I went down to the local speedometer shop and they put a calibrated distance measuring head onto the output and sent me down to drive their measured mile. The readout, measured...

I miss the good old days of DRMO. A friend bought a shop van body that no one else even bothered to inspect or bid on. We went to pick it up and found the underside of the van body had a complete running deuce still attached to it. Followed him home in the lowboy with him grinning so wide he...

My paint manual says the entire vehicle gets the base coat, inside and out, (whatever green you've chosen); then the additional camo colors go over that on the exterior with the exception of the frame, axles and underbody which stay the base coat. Also, earlier trucks had green wheels but the...

M-37 for sure. The two closest levers are two/four wheel drive and high/low range for the transfer case, lever with button is of course emer. brake, tallest is transmission shifter. Far short, flat lever is probably PTO but the shorter one with the gear shift knob has me guessing too.

A 9" grinder will work almost too fast so I'd use a finer grit disc, maybe 120 or higher and go lightly until you see how fast it cuts and you get a feel for it. Keep the disc face as close to flat on the surface as you can. Just use the edge for tight spots and then very light passes. Easier to...

Good tactic. The manuals, and paint suppliers, all say the base color coat should be continuous so that there are no thin spots or gaps when the other colors are applied. They also say that the chalk lines, are only a guide and not carved in stone; so don't worry about getting docked for...

How good a finish you want will dictate how much care you put into the prep work. Asking questions is a great way to get a lot of tips and experience. If you want a show car finish then taking extra care will produce the desired results. If you want to duplicate the "military/original" finish I...

Sounds like a great set-up. Do you have anything like a link to their site?

For you fellows in the colder climes; I ran across this site www.maesco.com Go to the browse products column and click on Kim Hotstart Preheaters. They also have a decent line of Baldwin filters and Racor fuel systems stuff.

He's right. I've seen an 8D tractor battery turn a box-end wrench into a light-bulb filament.

I'm for steering wheel locks; be they chains or flip-over locking tab. A second line of defense is also desirable should the first be breached. Fuel cut-off and/or electrical system disconnects are a good deterrent. So that the engine doesn't burn up due to low or no oil, some of our stuff has a...

Calif law says that if "reasonable people" (yeah, like we have a lot of those out here) believe that a real gun is under the cover, it's a real gun!?! 4X6 and broomstick or not. When did common sense and logic disappear over the horizon.

Sorry I didn't read the ad closer but I figured I didn't need one in sunny California. Will keep my fingers crossed for ya.

Anyone shopping for a radiator cover; there's three on ebay right now. Item #s 4610649629, 4610649630 & 4610649631. Or go to ebay motors and do a search on key word military to view all 18 pages.

Go directly to the source. Look in the tech library for TB43-0147 and TB43-0209. Should have everything you need.

Look for sales by beltfed34; he has parts as often as anybody on there.

Which bleeders are you working on? Brake or air-tank?
