The chassis and front beams came home today, had to stop at good ol Harbor freight on the way to pick up some painting supplies and Sherwin Williams tomorrow for the important stuff, going to use Rapco 34079 for the base coat.

I have an oil cooled Deutz in my 863 skid loader. a very small 4 cyl. makes 73HP. And no coolant per-say so no corrosion, I am impressed, the oil cooled do make more HP for a given size than the "air cooled" (they still have oil coolers that are very important) Of course I have no knowledge of...

I love the two cycles, I have two tractors with 4-53s in them and an old crane with a 4-71 (was running when parked LOL), I also have a rather rare 8V53 sitting in my shop, if I live long enough I would like to stuff it in something like maybe a T-bucketo_O That little V8 is awesome! Not mine.

Well they would have lasted longer with an effective oil cooler especially when overloaded, oil cooling is as important as the air cooling, the oil takes away tons of heat from the heads on these engines for one thing, that is why VW had an effective oil cooler to begin with, no doubt removing...

Studs are great on the engine stand a PITA in the truck.

I'm glade they could prime it right away, chrome moly flash rusts really fast.

It looks like someone cropped the roof off to "fix" the eyebrow problem, I doubt any had disc brakes, yours is the first I have seen. Did you have three holes or remnants of three holes where the hour meter was mounted under the driver side air filter? It looks like it was in civilian hands for...

A picture is worth a thousand words!

I am sorry this has happened to you it does not sound good. Yes you need new head bolts, they are stretch to yield and should only be used once. I would wait until you figure out the actual failure before buying parts, there is a small possibility it could be a failed thermostat unless you have...

The 6.5L is a good fit for the military, one advantage is its pretty much immune to an EMP attack and it is simple enough for the average military mechanic to work on, it also has reasonable dependability in military service because most do not get many miles put on them. You also have to figure...

13X25=1.923076923076923:1 as stated above unless necessary no competent engineer would design a high speed gear set for an even ratio.

No differential would ever be produced with a 4:1 ratio, if you do some looking you will never find a modern automotive differential with an even ratio. That is because with a 4:1 ratio for example the same pinion tooth would only come into contact with the same 4 teeth on the ring gear, this...

I am not sure what you mean, 2.56 will give the highest speed for the lowest RPM of any available combination, there is only one hub ratio and that is 1.92:1 Unless there is someone making custom gear sets which I would assume this community would know about. and as pointed out above there is...

Thanks for sharing!

That chassis number looks right on for #13, my #10 has a chassis number of 1585, they gave chassis numbers as they were built and they were building other vehicles allong side the FAVs so the numbers will not increment 1 to 1

The common traits appear to be a chopped up dash, most with a smaller 1" piece of tubing replacing the 1 1/2" on the passenger side, an "eyebrow" cut in the passenger side of the roof, the gun racks, the mount for the M2HB coming up through the hood, a pipe mount on one rear corner of the roof...

I am thinking now that they are not "real" I have looked at hundreds of pictures and have not seen any on what appears to be original FAV photos. I have found a source of the correct rebuild tags that are seen on many of what appear to be original FAV photos. I did get a quote from a data plate...

It is one of the common features of the "Nevada" FAVs but those are the only ones that have that rack that I can find.

Welcome to the forum!!! Very nice, definitely one of the Nevada DOE machines that patrolled the Nuclear Test Site. Please start a thread and give us more pictures and details!!

A little low on all the boxes, RPM, HP, Torque and at 1000lb the perfect tractor motor.
